Quality Assurance Engineer

Core Responsibilities

• Perform manual testing across mobile (iOS/Android) and web platforms.
• Validate UI, functional behaviour, edge cases, and regression scenarios.
• Review and test API integrations, including editing request/response payloads.
• Use debugging tools such as browser developer tools to inspect network

requests, API payloads, and JSON responses.

• Collaborate with developers to reproduce defects and verify fixes.
• Document clear, reproducible bug reports and test results.
• Follow feature requirements and acceptance criteria to ensure correct

implementation.

• Perform exploratory testing to identify issues outside of planned test cases.

Technical Skills (Essential)

Web & API Testing

• Strong experience using browser developer tools (Chrome DevTools, etc)
• Ability to inspect and understand:
• Network requests
• API payloads
• JSON structures
• HTTP response codes
• Experience manually testing APIs using tools such as Postman, etc.
• Ability to modify, craft, or replay API payloads for deeper integration testing.

Logs & Cloud Monitoring

• Experience navigating logs in AWS CloudWatch.
• Ability to trace errors, correlate log events, and identify service-level issues.
• Understanding of distributed microservice environments

Additional Skills (Preferred)

• Experience understanding and reviewing automated tests written in Playwright.
• Ability to read and understand basic TypeScript code to identify integration

issues or spot potential backend/frontend mismatches.

• Experience using Jira for creating, updating, and managing bug reports.
• Basic understanding of REST API concepts and backend workflow.
• Experience testing authentication flows (e.g., Cognito, JWT).

Role Expectations

• Work alongside developers, and designers to ensure high-quality releases.
• Actively communicate issues, risks, and gaps in functionality.
• Maintain a detail-oriented approach to testing complex user flows.
• Support test planning for new features and major releases.
• Contribute to improving QA processes, checklists, and test coverage.

What Success Looks Like

• Critical issues are identified early in development.
• Releases are stable and meet functional and UX expectations.
• API and integration issues are caught during testing rather than in production.
• Logs and debugging insights help accelerate root cause analysis.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys breaking things before users do, has strong

analytical skills, and is comfortable working across mobile, web, and cloud

environments.
