QA Engineer (Manual + Automation with AI Validation)

Role Overview

We are seeking an analytical and technically precise QA Engineer (2+ Years) to own the quality footprint across web platforms, backend REST APIs, and core AI-driven features. This role balances hands-on exploratory manual testing with robust automation engineering, building scalable test suites, verifying data pipeline integrity via SQL, and establishing specialized validation protocols for machine learning models.

Responsibilities

• Test Engineering Architecture: Design, author, and preserve comprehensive test plans, complex test matrices, and mock test data across web, API, and data environments.
• Multi-Tier Quality Execution: Perform rigorous functional, regression, multi-tier integration, and unstructured exploratory testing across scheduled production releases.
• Automation Engineering: Build, calibrate, and maintain scalable automated test suites targeting both the user interface (UI) and service layers.
• AI/ML Validation: Validate AI/ML outputs and algorithm performance by systematically checking for statistical accuracy, model drift consistency, structural bias, and graceful failure handling.
• API & Pipeline Testing: Test REST APIs and underlying data pipelines to verify schema definitions, payload quality, and integration correctness.
• Defect Lifecycle Governance: Document, log, track, and triage systemic software defects within tracking systems, verifying technical fixes through to clean closure.
• Agile DevOps Collaboration: Partner directly with Product Owners, Data Scientists, and Backend Engineers to embed quality frameworks throughout rapid Agile/Scrum sprints.

Requirements

• Minimum 2+ years of professional experience in QA / Software Testing.
• Direct experience testing data products, analytics engines, or AI/ML features.
• Hands-on automation experience utilizing tools such as Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.
• Strong working proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or Java.
• Proven experience testing REST APIs using tools like Postman or REST Assured.
• Robust data manipulation skills with the ability to write custom SQL queries.
• Complete command over core QA methodologies, SDLC/STLC, and Agile/Scrum models.

Skills

• Selenium
• Python
• SQL
• Postman
• Playwright

Nice to Have

• Experience integrating automated test pipelines into CI/CD setups (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Functional familiarity with Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments.
• Prior exposure to the Insurance sector.
