Job Description
We are looking for a quality-obsessed Senior QA Engineer who brings a whole-team quality mindset and an automation-first approach to everything they do. This is not a traditional test-execution role you will be a quality champion embedded in an agile squad, owning the full spectrum of quality engineering: from shift-left practices through API automation, performance engineering and post-release live monitoring. You will work in a fast-paced travel technology environment where quality is baked in from day one, not bolted on at the end.
Key Responsibilities
- Participate in sprint planning with meaningful test estimates based on complexity and scope
- Identify browser, device, and OS test coverage targets
- Champion the Test Pyramid philosophy prioritise exhaustive API test suites over deep UI integration suites; push coverage as far down the stack as the defect signal allows.
- Design and write additional test cases beyond acceptance criteria focusing on edge cases, negative scenarios, boundary conditions, and critical persona-based journeys that serve as future automation candidates.
- Apply exploratory testing techniques to uncover defects that scripted tests miss
- Validate component-level and service-level API contracts status codes, response schemas, payload correctness, error handling, and edge-case behaviour.
- Extend API automation practices to cover authentication flows, rate limiting, data consistency across microservices, and inter-service dependency behaviour.
- Leverage modern API testing tools where appropriate Playwright API mode, REST Assured, k6 for scripted API load scenarios and contribute to tooling decisions.
- Author and maintain Priority 1 UI end-to-end regression suites using Playwright (preferred) or Cypress, covering critical booking and transactional flows across web and mobile web.
- Conduct client-side performance analysis before every production release capturing Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Total Blocking Time (TBT), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), First Byte Time, and Window OnLoad.
- Design and execute server-side performance and load tests using the in-house K6 / Node.js performance framework simulating realistic HTTP/S traffic patterns mirroring production URL and endpoint sequences.
- Collect and publish server-side metrics via AppInsights and Grafana: 90p/95p/99p response times per API endpoint and dependency, 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx response code distributions, Server Exceptions, and Failed/Timed-Out Dependencies.
- Monitor application health post-release using AppInsights and use Kibana for log analysis
Required Skills & Experience
- 3+ years of quality engineering experience in an agile software development environment, with a good track record of building automation.
- Strong hands-on proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript for API test automation using any NodeJS package and Postman Collections.
- Solid understanding of REST API principles HTTP methods, status codes, headers, authentication schemes (OAuth2, JWT, API keys), and JSON/XML payload validation.
- Hands-on experience with Playwright or Cypress for cross-browser UI automation including parallel execution, test isolation, and visual regression.
- Experience with mobile automation using Appium, Espresso for iOS and Android coverage.
- Hands-on experience with K6 or Locust for server-side load and performance testing
- Familiarity with client-side performance tooling: WebPageTest or Lighthouse and ability to interpret Core Web Vitals and request waterfall data.
- Experience reading and interpreting AppInsights or Grafana dashboards for 90p/95p/99p response time analysis, error rate tracking, and dependency performance.
Good to Have
- AI-augmented testing Experience using LLM-powered tools for test case generation, exploratory test ideation, or defect triage
- Observability-driven QA Using distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry, Jaeger) to correlate test failures with backend service behaviour.
- Travel domain knowledge Understanding of GDS flows, booking engine APIs, fare calculations, or payment gateway integrations.
