Job description
Role Overview

QAble is looking for two detail-oriented and experienced Functional QA Engineers to join our growing team. You will own end-to-end quality assurance across web and mobile applications, working on projects spanning Fintech, Healthcare, E-commerce, and other fast-moving domains. You will be expected to bring strong manual testing fundamentals, emerging Vibe Coding awareness, robust API and database testing skills, and sharp UI validation capabilities.

Location : Remote/Hybrid

Experience : 3 to 5 years

Key Responsibilities

Functional & Manual Testing
• Plan, design, and execute functional, regression, smoke, sanity, exploratory, and end-to-end test cases across web and mobile platforms
• Write comprehensive test scenarios and test cases from user stories, BRDs, and FRDs
• Perform compatibility testing across browsers, devices, and operating systems using LambdaTest and BrowserStack
• Execute cross-browser and cross-device testing cycles ensuring consistent functional behaviour

Vibe Coding & AI-Assisted Testing
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate test case generation, script writing, and exploratory test planning
• Understand and evaluate AI-generated application flows for testability, edge cases, and regression risks
• Collaborate with developers using Vibe Coding workflows — reviewing and contributing to AI-generated code artifacts from a QA lens

API Testing
• Design and execute API test cases for REST and GraphQL APIs using Postman and Swagger
• Validate request/response payloads, status codes, headers, authentication flows (OAuth, JWT, API keys), and error handling
• Create and maintain Postman collections, environments, and automated API test suites
• Identify discrepancies between API contracts and actual application behaviour

Database Testing
• Write and execute SQL queries to validate data integrity, data flow, and backend transformations
• Perform CRUD validation and verify database state changes triggered by application actions
• Cross-validate UI-displayed data against database records to catch data accuracy issues
• Work with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL) and understand NoSQL basics

UI & Visual Testing
• Perform detailed UI testing with focus on font attributes — font family, weight, size, line height, letter spacing, and colour contrast
• Use CSSPeeper, WhatFont, and browser Inspect Element / DevTools to extract and validate CSS typography properties against design specifications
• Validate layouts, spacing, alignment, and responsive behaviour across screen sizes
• Cross-reference designs in Figma/Zeplin with live implementations to surface pixel-level discrepancies

Reporting & Communication
• Log detailed, reproducible bug reports in Jira with clear steps, environment details, severity, and attachments
• Prepare and share Daily Status Reports, Weekly Status Reports, and Sprint QA summaries with stakeholders
• Author Release Sign-off and QA Sign-off documentation after thorough testing cycle completion
• Maintain Confluence documentation - test plans, test reports, onboarding guides, and QA SOPs
• Proactively communicate testing blockers, risks, and coverage gaps to project leads and clients

Required Skills & Competencies

Core Testing Skills
• Strong command of software testing fundamentals: SDLC, STLC, testing types, test design techniques
• Proficiency in black-box testing techniques - equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, state transition
• Experience in writing, maintaining, and reviewing test plans and test strategy documents
• Hands-on experience with regression, smoke, sanity, UAT, and exploratory testing

Tools & Platforms
• Test Management & Bug Tracking: Jira, Confluence, Zephyr / X-Ray (or similar)
• API Testing: Postman, Swagger UI, REST Client
• Cross-Browser / Device Testing: LambdaTest, BrowserStack
• UI Font & Visual Inspection: CSSPeeper, WhatFont, Chrome/Firefox DevTools, Inspect Element
• Design Collaboration: Figma, Zeplin (for design-vs-implementation validation)
• Database: MySQL Workbench, DBeaver, pgAdmin, or similar SQL client
• Version Control Basics: Git / GitHub for test artifact management
• Productivity: Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365

Vibe Coding Awareness
• Familiarity with AI coding assistants: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, ChatGPT
• Ability to review AI-generated code and application output from a quality assurance perspective
• Understanding of prompt engineering basics relevant to test case generation and automation scripting

Domain Knowledge
• Hands-on project experience in one or more of the following domains:
• Fintech - payment flows, KYC/AML, transaction validations, wallet features
• Healthcare - HIPAA awareness, patient data handling, appointment/scheduling workflows
• E-commerce - cart, checkout, inventory, order management, promotions and discount logic
• Enterprise / SaaS - multi-tenant applications, role-based access control, admin dashboards
• Gaming (nice to have) - in-app purchases, gameplay flows, leaderboards, session handling

Communication
• Excellent written communication - clear, concise, and professional in bug reports, emails, and documentation
• Strong verbal communication for daily standups, client calls, sprint reviews, and stakeholder demos
• Ability to articulate testing coverage, risks, and quality decisions to both technical and non-technical audiences

Good to Have
• Exposure to test automation frameworks: Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Appium
• Mobile testing experience - iOS (TestFlight) and Android (APK/ADB) testing workflows
• Performance/load testing awareness: JMeter, k6, or Gatling
• Accessibility testing knowledge: WCAG 2.1, ARIA, screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver)
• Security testing basics: OWASP Top 10, input validation, authentication vulnerabilities
• Agile/Scrum experience - working within sprint cycles, attending retrospectives, and contributing to QA estimation
