Who are you? 
We are looking for experienced Senior Quality Engineer who have previously worked in agile product teams, collaborating with each team member  (developer, business analyst, UX) to create automated test suite not only for functional tests but other kinds of tests  as  well (backend  tests,  API tests to name a few).  While we are trying to automate as much as possible, we understand manual testing is required as well.

You probably have a degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. You have a passion for quality and appreciate that Quality Engineering activities are much more than testing.  

Main Responsibilities

You will examine the functional and non-functional requirements, end-to-end processes to create test cases and suites (ideally automated)  for different kinds of testing  –  functional, system, API etc.  You will be testing the features and products during different stages to ensure the quality of the product before  its launched to the customers.
You will help and provide inputs to develop test strategies and practices

You have a solid understanding of quality engineering methodologies, life cycle and 
processes.  You are comfortable with different types and techniques in functional 
testing and non-functional testing.
