QA Automation Engineer – Web, Mobile, API

Role Overview

• Design, develop, and maintain web UI automated test scripts using Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), Java, and JUnit/TestNG.
• Implement and enhance data-driven and BDD test frameworks to support scalable and maintainable automation suites.
• Validate business logic, data integrity, and backend operations by writing and executing SQL/NoSQL queries and performing database validation.
• Perform basic API security testing, including checks for SQL injection, input validation, and token expiry handling.
• Conduct non-functional testing (load, performance, reliability) using tools such as JMeter or k6, and analyze performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and risks.
• Design, implement, and execute mobile web and native app automation tests using Appium, Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), Java, TestNG, and Xcode for Android/iOS.
• Plan, design, and execute test scenarios (positive, negative, boundary, and end-to-end) based on user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and business teams to clarify requirements, triage defects, and ensure high-quality releases.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives) and keep all QA documentation up to date.
