Senior QA Engineer (Manual / Functional Testing)

About This Opportunity

Homepage Infotech Solutions LLP is a recruitment partner. We are sourcing for a leading India-based technology consultancy that builds and deploys engineering teams for client engagements across the US, Canada and EU markets. This is a full-time role, worked remotely from India on an international client engagement.

The details below describe the engagement and the team you would join. When you apply, please include your current CTC, expected CTC and notice period so we can move quickly.

About the Role

You will own the quality of product/module end to end from reading a requirement and deciding what could break, through to signing off a release. This is a hands-on functional testing role for someone who thinks like a user, writes precise defect reports, and is comfortable being the person who says "not yet" before a production push.

You will work directly with developers, product manager(s) and rest of the team in sprint cycles, testing applications in the product domain.

What You Will Do

• Turn business and technical requirements into clear test scenarios and test cases, and flag ambiguity before development starts.
• Run functional, regression, integration, system and UAT cycles across web and mobile applications.
• Log defects with reproducible steps, evidence and severity, then drive them through to closure and retest.
• Own release sign-off decide what is ready to ship and communicate the risk of what is not.
• Build and maintain a regression suite that stays relevant as the product changes, and identify which cases are worth automating.
• Validate data and back-end behaviour using SQL queries and API calls (Postman or similar).
• Take part in sprint planning, estimation, stand-ups and retros, and give the team a clear read on testing progress and risk.

What We Are Looking For

• 5- 8 years in software QA with strong hands-on functional and regression testing on live products.
• Test design skill you can look at a feature and systematically derive positive, negative, boundary and edge cases, not just happy-path scripts.
• Solid grasp of SDLC, STLC and the defect life cycle, with day-to-day experience of JIRA or an equivalent tracker.
• Working SQL comfortable writing joins and filters to verify data independently of the UI.
• API testing using Postman or similar: you can validate responses, status codes and payloads without a front end.
• Agile / Scrum delivery experience and the communication skills to hold your ground with developers and stakeholders.
• Proven remote working self-directed, clear in writing, and reliable at keeping distributed teammates informed without being chased.

Bonus Points

• Exposure to automation (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or Appium) — even at a basic level. We will support you in growing this.
• Mobile testing across Android and iOS, including device/OS matrix planning.
• Performance or security testing basics (JMeter, OWASP fundamentals).
• ISTQB certification, or experience mentoring junior QA engineers.
