We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Test Engineer with 6+ years of expertise, to independently manage the QA process. The ideal candidate will have strong manual and automation testing skills, with a focus on creating comprehensive test strategies for complex applications in a fast-paced environment.

Perform API testing (using RestAssured, Postman, and Swagger) and validate request/response schemas. Conduct manual testing for exploratory, regression, and edge-case scenarios when automation isn't feasible.
Create comprehensive test plans and develop detailed test cases for both manual and automated testing. Execute test cases, ensuring thorough test coverage across the application.
Identify, log, and track defects throughout the bug life cycle. Provide detailed defect documentation and collaborate with development teams to ensure timely resolution.
Work closely with development teams to identify automation opportunities and ensure test coverage. Provide regular updates on test progress and defect trends through reports and dashboards using JIRA or TestRail.
Analyze API logs, troubleshoot integration issues, and perform root cause analysis for failures.
Conduct database testing by writing and executing SQL queries to validate data integrity, consistency, and accuracy.
Continuously improve automation frameworks and testing processes.

6+ years of experience in software testing, including both manual and automation.
Knowledge of agile methodologies and working in scrum teams.
Strong expertise in Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber, and RestAssured.
