QA Automation Engineer

QA Automation Engineer AI & Modern Web Applications

Location: Mysore (Mysuru), Karnataka
Work Mode: 100% Office-Based
Employment: Full-Time
Experience: 2 5 Years
Department: Engineering / Quality Assurance

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on QA Automation Engineer to join our client s technology team in Mysore.

This is not a traditional manual testing role. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of product quality by combining automation, exploratory testing, API testing, CI/CD and AI-assisted QA workflows .

You will work closely with developers, UI/UX designers and product teams to ensure web and mobile applications are reliable, secure and ready for production.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable using modern automation frameworks and AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or similar tools to accelerate test creation, identify edge cases, analyse failures and improve overall QA efficiency.

What You ll Do

• Design, develop and maintain automated test suites for web and mobile applications.

• Build end-to-end, integration, regression, smoke and API automation tests .

• Create reusable and scalable automation frameworks.

• Automate critical customer journeys and business workflows.

• Perform functional, regression, integration, exploratory and cross-browser testing.

• Test responsive applications across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

• Validate APIs, databases and frontend/backend integrations.

• Identify defects, document them clearly and work directly with developers through resolution.

• Analyse failed automated tests and distinguish application defects from flaky automation.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines .

• Maintain reliable automated regression suites that can run as part of deployments.

• Participate in sprint planning, requirement reviews and technical discussions.

• Define acceptance criteria and test scenarios before development is completed.

• Monitor production quality and continuously improve QA processes.

  Automation Responsibilities

You should have strong hands-on experience with at least one modern automation framework such as:

• Playwright highly preferred

• Cypress

• Selenium WebDriver

• Appium for mobile automation

You should be comfortable with:

• JavaScript / TypeScript or Python

• Page Object Model or similar scalable automation patterns

• Cross-browser automation

• Parallel test execution

• Test data management

• Mocking and API interception

• Screenshot/video evidence

• Automated reporting

• Git and pull-request workflows

• CI/CD integration

• Debugging flaky tests

  API & Backend Testing

You will be expected to test beyond the user interface.

Experience should include:

• REST API testing

• Postman / Newman

• Playwright API testing or equivalent

• Authentication and authorisation testing

• Request/response validation

• HTTP status codes and error handling

• JSON payload validation

• Database/data validation

• API integration testing

• Basic performance and load testing

  AI-Assisted QA

We expect AI to be part of the modern QA workflow.

You will use AI tools where appropriate to:

• Generate initial test scenarios from requirements and user stories.

• Assist with automation script creation.

• Generate test data and edge cases.

• Analyse logs and failed test executions.

• Identify missing test coverage.

• Refactor and improve automation code.

• Generate negative and boundary test scenarios.

• Review requirements for ambiguity or missing acceptance criteria.

• Accelerate root-cause analysis.

• Create documentation and test reports.

AI should accelerate your engineering judgement, not replace it . You will remain responsible for validating generated tests and ensuring they genuinely test the required behaviour.

Testing AI-Powered Products

As more products incorporate AI, you may also test features involving:

• AI assistants and chat interfaces

• LLM-generated responses

• Voice and speech-to-text

• AI summaries and recommendations

• Document and image processing

• Natural-language workflows

• AI-generated structured data

You should understand that AI output is often non-deterministic and cannot always be tested using traditional exact-match assertions.

You may therefore help define testing approaches around accuracy, relevance, consistency, hallucination risk, safety, fallback behaviour and human review .
