We are seeking a curious, analytical, and continuously learning Quality Assurance Engineer. In this role, you will leverage AI powered tools to contribute throughout the development lifecycle, engaging in refinements, challenging requirements, and validating complex, data-driven scenarios.

You will treat AI as a force multiplier, using it to improve testing efficiency, automation, and analysis, while applying the critical thinking and human judgment needed to validate AI outputs and deliver consistently high-quality software.

Essential Job Functions

• Participate in refinement and planning sessions to identify risks, gaps, and edge cases early, and analyze system and data workflows to determine testing priorities and approach.
• Using AI tools to accelerate testing and analysis; create, maintain, and execute test plans, strategies, cases, and automation scripts; validate functionality across software and hardware solutions.
• Critically evaluate, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs to ensure accuracy, completeness, and business relevance.
• Perform functional, integration, regression, exploratory, and data-focused testing across applications and services.
• Test REST and SOAP APIs, validating JSON and XML responses.
• Investigate defects through root cause and data analysis, track resolution, and communicate quality risks and testing estimates, in collaboration with Product, Engineering, and Support stakeholders.

• Experience testing REST and SOAP APIs using tools such as Postman, SOAPUI, or equivalent platforms.
• Experience using AI-powered tools - understanding their strengths, limitations, and risks - to support testing, automation, debugging, analysis, and documentation, and to identify opportunities that improve efficiency and quality.
• Strong critical thinking and engineering judgment to prompt, validate, and refine AI-generated outputs.
• Highly organized, self-directed, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A collaborative, proactive mindset.
