Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on QC Lead to own end-to-end quality assurance across enterprise web applications, mobile applications, APIs, databases and IoT/device-integrated solutions.
The candidate must have strong manual testing expertise, hands-on automation experience and the ability to introduce AI-assisted testing practices. This is a working-lead role requiring both technical contribution and team leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the complete testing lifecycle—from requirement analysis and test planning to release sign-off and production validation.
- Define the test strategy covering manual, automation, API, database, mobile, integration and performance testing.
- Understand business requirements and translate them into test scenarios, test cases and requirement traceability matrices.
- Design, develop and maintain scalable automation frameworks for web applications, APIs and mobile applications.
- Identify high-value regression scenarios and continuously increase automation coverage.
- Integrate automated test suites with CI/CD pipelines and provide rapid release-quality feedback.
- Perform functional, regression, integration, system, exploratory and end-to-end testing.
- Validate complex workflows involving applications, devices, communication networks, APIs and third-party systems.
- Perform database testing, backend validation and data reconciliation using SQL.
- Plan performance, load, volume, reliability and failover testing for high-transaction systems.
- Review automation code, test cases, test evidence and defect reports prepared by the QC team.
- Lead defect triage, perform root-cause analysis and drive defects to closure with development teams.
- Establish release-readiness criteria and provide evidence-based Go/No-Go recommendations.
- Track defect leakage, automation coverage, test effectiveness and release-quality trends.
- Mentor QC engineers and build team capability in automation and AI-assisted testing.
- Coordinate with Product, Development, DevOps, Implementation and Support teams.
Automation Testing Requirements
- Hands-on experience with Selenium, Playwright or Cypress.
- Experience with Java and TestNG/JUnit, or an equivalent automation stack.
- API automation experience using REST Assured, Postman/Newman or equivalent tools.
- Exposure to mobile automation using Appium or similar tools.
- Experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter or Gatling.
- Strong understanding of reusable frameworks, page-object models, data-driven testing and test reporting.
- Experience integrating automated tests with Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD platforms.
- Working knowledge of Git and automated test execution in different environments.
- Ability to analyse automation failures and distinguish product defects from script or environment issues.
AI-Assisted Testing Requirements
- Practical understanding of using AI tools to generate, optimise and review test scenarios and automation scripts.
- Ability to use AI for requirement analysis and identification of missing, duplicate or high-risk test cases.
- Exposure to AI-assisted automation tools, self-healing locators or intelligent test-maintenance techniques.
- Interest in building an AI-enabled, continuously improving QC process.
Required Skills
- Strong understanding of SDLC, STLC, Agile methodologies and defect lifecycle management.
- Strong experience in manual testing of complex enterprise applications.
- Mandatory hands-on experience in test automation.
- Good knowledge of REST APIs, microservices and distributed application architecture.
- Strong SQL and database-testing skills, preferably with PostgreSQL.
- Good leadership, planning, communication and stakeholder-management capabilities.
- Ability to remain hands-on while leading and mentoring the testing team.
Preferred Experience
- Testing utility, smart metering, IoT, billing, ERP or other large-scale enterprise platforms.
- Device-to-platform and protocol-based integration testing.
- Exposure to cloud-hosted and on-premises application environments.
- Experience in security, reliability, failover and production-readiness testing.
- ISTQB or equivalent testing certification is an advantage.
