Job Type: Contract
Duration: 6 Months (extendable)

Experience Required: 4-6 Years
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Salesforce QA Engineer to own quality assurance across Salesforce implementations spanning Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud. The ideal candidate combines strong Salesforce platform knowledge with modern automation expertise (especially Playwright) and is comfortable leveraging AI-assisted testing tools to accelerate test creation, maintenance, and defect analysis.
Key Responsibilities
Define and execute QA strategy, test plans, and test scenarios for Salesforce implementations across Sales, Service, and Marketing Clouds.
Develop, review, and maintain manual and automated test cases/scripts covering Salesforce configurations, customizations, and integrations.
Build and enhance test automation frameworks using Playwright (and Selenium/Provar/Copado where applicable), integrated with CI/CD pipelines.
Apply AI-powered testing tools/techniques (e.g., AI-assisted test case generation, self-healing locators, intelligent test prioritization, LLM-based defect triage) to improve automation efficiency and coverage.
Validate Apex triggers, classes, and batch jobs; write and maintain unit tests to ensure high-quality code.
Write SOQL/SOSL queries to validate data integrity within Salesforce.
Execute functional, regression, UAT, API (REST/SOAP), and integration testing.
Manage data loading and validation using Data Loader, Workbench, or similar tools.
Identify, log, and manage defects using JIRA/Azure DevOps/Xray/Zephyr, ensuring high-quality releases aligned with Salesforce best practices.
Support release management, UAT, and production validation, including performance, security, and compliance testing.
Proactively recommend testing solutions and improvements rather than waiting on direction.
Communicate effectively with client technical partners, admins, developers, and business users to clarify requirements and align on implementation.
Mentor junior QA team members, conduct code/test reviews, and drive continuous improvement in QA processes.
