Title: Senior Quality Assurance Engineer
Company: CUBE
Location: Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India
Job description:
We are looking for a strong Senior QA Engineer to join our engineering org. This is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role — you will own both automation and manual testing, shape our testing strategy, and collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and DevOps to ensure we ship with confidence. If you have deep expertise in building quality frameworks from the ground up, a sharp eye for defects, and strong opinions about how software should be tested, this is the role for you.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Quality Strategy & Collaboration
- Contribute to and continuously improve the overall QA strategy — covering both manual and automated testing across functional, regression, and exploratory tracks
- Own end-to-end test planning and execution — automation coverage, manual exploratory testing, and release readiness sign-off
- Partner with Engineering Managers and Product Managers to embed quality early in the development lifecycle
- Champion shift-left testing practices and advocate for quality at every stage of the delivery lifecycle
Testing & Automation
- Design and implement scalable test automation frameworks for UI, API, and performance testing
- Oversee test case design, review coverage gaps, and ensure thorough regression and smoke test suites
- Perform deep root cause analysis on critical bugs and drive systemic fixes in collaboration with engineering
- Own performance, load, and security testing initiatives in collaboration with the DevOps team
Process & Governance
- Define QA metrics, dashboards, and reporting — track defect density, test coverage, escape rates, and cycle time
- Establish and maintain QA processes, standards, and best practices in alignment with engineering workflows
- Ensure compliance with release checklists and sign-off criteria before every deployment
- Continuously improve CI/CD pipeline integration for automated testing
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 6–8 years of hands-on experience in software quality assurance, with strong expertise in both automation and manual testing
- Strong hands-on experience with test automation frameworks — Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, RestAssured, or equivalent
- Solid understanding of API testing (Postman, REST API), performance testing (JMeter, k6), and security testing basics
- Experience in Agile/Scrum environments with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
- Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language — Python, Java, or JavaScript
- Experience with bug tracking and test management tools — Jira, Zephyr, TestRail, or similar
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a keen eye for detail
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate defects, risks, and quality status to engineering and product stakeholders
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in a B2B SaaS or fintech/regtech product environment
- Exposure to AI/ML product testing or data pipeline validation
- Knowledge of accessibility testing standards (WCAG)
- ISTQB or equivalent certification
