The position requires 2-5 years of relevant experience.

Role Summary

The QA Engineer will play a critical role in ensuring the quality and integrity of product releases by meticulously planning and executing various testing phases. This involves a focus on both quality assurance and quality control, alongside user acceptance testing, to deliver products that meet defined standards and user expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Collect delivery milestones, scope definitions, and resource inputs to support the preparation of detailed QA, QC, and UAT plans with clear responsibilities.
• Gather functional, non-functional, integration, regression, and performance requirements to structure comprehensive QA and QC test scenarios, acceptance criteria, and representative datasets.
• Assist in designing UAT cycles by selecting representative user groups, defining end-to-end scenarios, and setting measurable success metrics and QC evaluation criteria.
• Implement test environment setup by configuring tools, datasets, and access controls to secure reliability across QA, QC, and UAT cycles.
• Execute functional, non-functional, integration, regression, and performance tests according to plans, validating behavior, interoperability, and compliance with defined QC thresholds.
• Perform systematic defect recording, classification, and analysis by severity and impact, and share structured QA or QC findings with development teams.

• Coordinate rework cycles with Product Development by updating defect backlogs, clarifying root causes, and planning QA, QC, and UAT re-tests.
• Execute re-tests and targeted regression suites after fixes, confirming corrected behaviors and verifying that no new QC regressions appear.
• Execute UAT sessions with target users, guiding them through scenarios and capturing observations about usability, functionality, and alignment with QC expectations.
• Collect UAT feedback and testing observations, distinguishing functional defects, usability issues, QC nonconformities, and scope gaps for prioritization and routing.
• Coordinate the implementation of UAT-driven fixes and enhancements with delivery teams, scheduling re-tests and confirming stability and QC readiness before recommending release decisions.
• Support go/no-go readiness checks with Publishing by consolidating QA, QC, and UAT outcomes, exceptions, and required approvals.
• Perform post-deployment validation activities including smoke tests, A/B experiments, and performance checks to confirm stability, QC adherence, adoption indicators, and business impact.
• Document lessons learned from QA, QC, and UAT cycles to assist in updating test frameworks, reusable cases, defect logs, and validated practices.
