Job Overview

We are hiring a dedicated QA Engineer for our SaaS product in Hyderabad, India. You will work closely with the Engineering team and Product team to ensure every release meets quality standards and user expectations.

Your role focuses on two key areas:

1. Testing & Validation: Own functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing. Validate each feature against acceptance criteria, verify edge cases, and ensure issues are caught before production.
2. Quality Ownership: Create and maintain a structured regression pack, log high-quality bugs with clear repro steps and evidence, verify fixes, and help improve the teams overall testing discipline and release confidence.

This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, detail-oriented, comfortable in technical discussions, and who enjoys building repeatable QA processes for a fast-moving product team.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand product requirements and translate them into test scenarios and test cases
• Perform functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing for web releases
• Validate user journeys across roles, permissions, and subscription/plan flows
• Test APIs used by the web app (basic request/response validation and error handling)
• Log bugs with clear reproduction steps, evidence (screenshots/videos), and environment details
• Partner with developers and PM to triage issues, verify fixes, and prevent regressions
• Maintain a lightweight release checklist and sign-off process for deployments
• Ensure test coverage across browsers and responsive layouts (desktop/tablet/mobile views)
