Role Overview We're looking for a Senior/Lead QA Engineer who can independently own quality across web, mobile, and backend systems, and who's comfortable using AI tools to accelerate test design and execution. This is a hands-on, self-driven role — you'll be expected to set direction on testing strategy, not just execute against a plan handed to you. The ideal candidate will bring 6-7+ years of QA experience, strong test automation and performance testing skills, and a proactive mindset toward improving product quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, write, and maintain functional and non-functional test cases, leveraging AI tools (e.g., Copilot, test-case generation LLMs, AI-assisted test authoring platforms) to speed up coverage and reduce manual effort
• Own end-to-end QA for web frontend, mobile applications (iOS/Android), and backend/API services
• Plan and execute load and performance testing — define benchmarks, identify bottlenecks, and work with engineering to resolve them
• Apply strong fundamentals across the QA lifecycle: test planning, requirement analysis, defect lifecycle management, regression strategy, and release sign-off
• Drive test automation strategy and framework decisions where applicable (web, API, mobile, and performance test automation)
• Identify gaps in coverage proactively rather than waiting for direction; bring structure to ambiguous or evolving requirements
• Mentor junior QA engineers and review their test plans/cases for completeness and quality
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and DevOps to embed quality earlier in the SDLC
• Report on quality metrics, risk areas, and testing status to stakeholders

Tech Stack

• Web technologies: HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React, Angular, responsive design validation
• Mobile: iOS, Android, native/hybrid app testing
• Backend & API: RESTful APIs, GraphQL, JSON, XML
• Performance testing tools: JMeter, k6, Gatling
• Automation frameworks: Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman/Newman, REST Assured
• CI/CD: Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions
• Cloud platforms: AWS (primary), GCP, Azure
• AI tools: Copilot, LLM-based test generation platforms
• Version control and defect tracking: Git, JIRA, TestRail

Must-Have Skills

• 6–7+ years of hands-on QA experience, with at least 2+ years in a senior/lead capacity
• Strong experience testing web frontend, mobile apps (iOS/Android), and backend/API services
• Practical experience with load/performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, k6, Gatling, or similar)
• Working knowledge of using AI tools to generate/optimize functional and non-functional test cases
• Solid grasp of core QA/testing fundamentals — test design techniques, defect triage, test pyramids, risk-based testing
• Familiarity with cross-browser/cross-device testing and responsive UI validation
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, take ownership, and drive testing strategy without heavy hand-holding

Good to Have

• Experience with automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Appium, Postman/Newman, REST Assured, etc.)
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into them
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure) for test environment setup
• ISTQB or equivalent certification

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive salary with annual performance bonuses
• Health insurance coverage including family
• Provident Fund and gratuity as per statutory norms
• Paid time off (annual leave, sick leave, public holidays)
• Professional development budget for certifications and courses
• Flexible work arrangements (hybrid model based in Pune)
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge cloud technologies and AI tools
• Team outings and employee engagement activities
