Software Quality Assurance Engineer

Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer (Focus: .NET & Playwright)

About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Engineer to join our team. This role is crucial for maintaining the high quality and reliability of our enterprise applications, which are primarily built using the .NET framework. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in test automation, specifically utilizing Playwright with xUnit version 3, to build and maintain robust end-to-end and integration tests. You will be instrumental in evolving our QA process, integrating testing into the CI/CD pipeline, and collaborating closely with developers and product managers to deliver exceptional software.

Key Responsibilities

• Test Strategy & Planning: Coordinate test plans, test cases, and test strategies for new features and existing products, ensuring alignment with business requirements.


• Automation Development: Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using Playwright and C#/.NET for functional, regression, and performance testing across UI and API layers.


• Framework Management: Contribute to the continuous improvement and scaling of our automated testing framework and infrastructure utilizing xUnit v3.


• Manual Testing: Execute manual functional, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) as needed, especially for complex scenarios or exploratory testing.


• Cross-Platform Quality: Test across popular device form factors (desktop, mobile, tablet) and multiple browser types (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to ensure a consistent, high-quality user experience.


• Defect Management: Identify, document, and track software defects and improvement tickets using our issue tracking system (Jira), working closely with development teams to ensure timely resolution.


• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline (Azure DevOps) to enable continuous quality checks.


• Deployment Verification: Act as a critical quality gatekeeper by executing Pre- and Post-Deployment verification and smoke testing across all environments, ensuring stability and providing the necessary technical sign-off for production releases.


• Collaboration: Actively participate in agile ceremonies (sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives) and collaborate cross-functionally to drive quality throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC).

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 3 years of professional experience in Software Quality Assurance or a similar technical role.


• Test Automation Tool: Proven, hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining automated tests using Playwright (or a similar modern tool like Selenium or Puppeteer).


• Technology Stack: Strong understanding of the .NET ecosystem, including experience testing applications built with C#, ASP.NET Core, or related Microsoft technologies.


• Coding Proficiency: Solid programming skills in C# (preferred) or another Object-oriented programming language for writing and debugging complex test automation code.


• API Testing: Experience with API testing using tools like Postman, or by coding API tests within the automation framework.


• Databases: Proficiency in writing and executing basic SQL queries to validate data integrity.


• Version Control: An understanding of GIT and some experience using GIT commands.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge enterprise applications with a strong focus on clean code and modern practices.


• Competitive salary and benefits package.


• A collaborative and supportive team culture where your contributions directly impact product quality.
