About the role

QA Automation Engineer (Remote, Full-Time) at Smart Working Solutions. Owns quality across a large, long-term digital health platform, builds automation framework, and collaborates with a small engineering team to improve test coverage and release reliability.

Responsibilities

  • Own the quality process end to end and build the automated test framework hands-on.
  • Understand how a large, roughly 10-year, multi-repo system works and how it should work from client, end-user and internal operations perspectives.
  • Ask the right questions and document expected behaviour where inherited documentation is partly out of date.
  • Author English-readable scenarios in Cucumber and Gherkin.
  • Build automation in JavaScript and TypeScript.
  • Drive the UI through a page object model.
  • Add data-test-ids to React code where missing.
  • Validate correct database state using SQL.
  • Maintain the automated tests as new features arrive.
  • Feed into requirements upfront as new features are planned.
  • Flag compliance, regulatory and security implications.
  • Run exploratory testing to identify where the product behaves incorrectly.
  • Improve reliability and enable faster, safer releases through automation.
  • Reproduce multi-step defects precisely and identify edge cases.
  • Build a repeatable, documented QA process from an unreliable baseline.
  • Work out how the system should behave across multiple user perspectives and how it might break.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in QA or test automation, hands-on with TypeScript or JavaScript.
  • 4+ years of hands-on test automation coding in TypeScript or JavaScript.
  • 2+ years of BDD test authoring with Cucumber and Gherkin.
  • 3+ years of web UI test automation using a page object model, preferably with Playwright.
  • 2+ years of end-to-end QA ownership, including defining, documenting, building and maintaining tests.
  • 3+ years of requirements analysis and stakeholder communication.
  • 2+ years of SQL querying to validate database state, using MySQL or PostgreSQL.
  • 3+ years of exploratory testing and precise multi-step defect reproduction.
  • Ability to drive automation and own the build with limited direction.
  • Strong detail orientation, including the ability to spot edge cases and gaps in specifications.
  • Hands-on JavaScript or TypeScript automation coding is non-negotiable; willingness to learn is not sufficient.

Benefits

  • Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
  • No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
  • Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
  • Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
  • A long-term career where your contributions are valued
