QA Tester (Automation QA)

We are looking for a QA Tester (AQA) with a strong foundation in manual testing to support and expand our automation efforts. This role is not just about writing scripts. It requires a deep understanding of what to test, how to test, and why it matters. You will ensure product quality through a combination of solid QA practices and automation-first execution. You will be responsible for understanding business requirements and translating them into clear, structured test scenarios. You will design effective test coverage including positive, negative, edge cases, and risk-based scenarios. Additionally, you will identify gaps, risks, and potential failure points early in the development cycle, perform root cause analysis, and provide clear defect reports with impact assessment. You will design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts (UI and API), primarily using Playwright, ensuring automation reflects real user behaviour and meaningful test scenarios. You will also contribute to improving the automation framework for scalability and maintainability, continuously expanding automation coverage to reduce manual regression effort. Your role will involve executing both manual and automated tests depending on context and coverage needs, performing exploratory and ad-hoc testing for new or complex features, and validating automation results to ensure reliability of test outcomes. You will integrate and maintain automated tests within CI/CD pipelines, monitor test execution results, investigate failures, and provide clear reporting on test results, risks, and quality status. Collaboration is key, as you will work closely with developers, product managers, and QA to align on quality expectations, participate in agile ceremonies, and share knowledge to improve QA and automation practices across the team.

Strong foundation in manual testing and QA methodologies, ability to understand requirements and design effective test scenarios, experience in defect analysis and risk-based testing, hands-on experience with test automation tools (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, Selenium), basic programming knowledge (preferably JavaScript), experience with API testing, familiarity with Git or version control, strong problem-solving and attention to detail, good communication skills in English, proactive mindset and willingness to learn.
