QA Engineer – Manual & Automation

About the job:
We’re hiring a QA Engineer to find what breaks before our users and clients do. AI has changed a lot about testing, but it hasn’t replaced human intuition: the ability to think like a real user, spot gaps in a product, and creatively test what no one thought to check. That’s the core of this role.
You’ll start with hands-on manual testing across our client and internal products, and over time move into test automation with Cypress or Playwright.
This is a full-time, work-from-office role in Hyderabad.

What You’ll Do
TL;DR: Break our products creatively, document what you find clearly, and grow into test automation.
Test web applications through functional, regression, exploratory, UI, and cross-browser testing
Read requirements and designs, then write clear test cases and test plans
Explore products like a real user, finding edge cases and gaps that scripted tests miss
Log bugs with clear reproduction steps, evidence, and severity, then follow them through to resolution
Test APIs using Postman or similar tools
Run regression cycles before releases and sign off on quality
Work closely with engineers, product, and founders to raise quality across the team
Over time, build and maintain automated test suites using Cypress or Playwright

Qualifications

You Are:
