Software Quality engineers- multiple positions

Quality Planning & Sprint Integration Gather testing requirements through regular interaction with management and product owners. Participate in backlog meetings and sprint planning to align QA scope with development priorities. Create high-level test plans per release, outlining entry/exit criteria, test scope, and types of testing (e.g., regression, smoke, usability). Prepare and share the daily QA status reports to the project team lead. Functional, Regression & Database Testing Design and execute test cases across system functionality, UI, integration, and edge-case scenarios. Perform database testing using SQL queries; validate data integrity, performance, and schema updates. Conduct regular site, user, and application audits to identify discrepancies and validate environments. Automation, Tooling & Infrastructure Support Develop and maintain automated test scripts for regression and integration suites using JUnit, NUnit, Selenium, or similar tools. Collaborate with DevOps to streamline QA deployment pipelines, manage test environments, and support parallel automation test runs. Monitor and improve test coverage metrics (target 80%+) and integrate with CI/CD tools for release readiness. Defect Management & Quality Compliance Document and manage software defects using a bug tracking system (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps). Track resolution progress and perform retesting for fixes; ensure traceability of defects to requirements. Conduct root cause analysis of critical bugs and provide actionable feedback to developers. Test Documentation, Standards & Audits Create and maintain test documentation, including procedures, test cases, test data, and reproducibility protocols. Conduct code reviews to provide testability insights and promote adherence to QA best practices. Collaboration, Review & Risk Planning Collaborate with developers, product managers, and technical support to evaluate usability and diagnose issues. Participate in design and code review meetings, providing input on test strategies, coverage gaps, and user experience. Work with stakeholders to plan test schedules and identify risk areas with appropriate mitigations.
