Your role is highly hands-on, requiring you to execute comprehensive end-to-end testing and monitor the stability of our live service. Working closely within cross-functional teams, you will champion quality by identifying, documenting, and triaging defects with precision. If you are passionate about detailed execution and relentlessly protecting the interests of the user, this role is for you.

Your mission

Test Execution and Defect Management

• Daily service checks: Perform essential daily checks and monitoring tests across the live environment to verify core platform functionality, data freshness, and accurate price/availability.
• E2E testing: Execute detailed manual and automated end-to-end test cases for new features, regression testing, and system integration testing across Web, Android, and iOS devices.
• Defect triage & prevention: Accurately identify, reproduce, and document software defects and discrepancies, providing clear steps, expected results, and impact analysis in our bug tracking system (Jira). Your goal is zero user-reported bugs.
• Release assurance: Participate actively in release cycles, performing final smoke and sanity tests to ensure high quality before every production deployment.

Test Assets and Automation

• Test case maintenance: Update, and maintain robust test cases and test data in our test management tool, ensuring test coverage remains high.
• Automation contribution: Work with the QA Team Lead to learn and contribute to test automation scripts (e.g., using Selenium, Appium, or similar frameworks) for repetitive and critical flows.
• API testing: Perform basic functional and regression testing on integration APIs using tools like Postman.

Collaboration and quality advocacy

• Developer liaison: Collaborate directly with developers to ensure defects are clearly understood and resolved quickly; participate in feature discussions to identify testing risks early.
• User Focus (Voice of the User): Act as the relentless internal advocate for the user, consistently approaching testing from a user-centric perspective to ensure the product meets high quality, usability, and functional standards.
