Software QA Engineer

Location : Nashik

Salary - 5-7 LPA

About the Role

Every feature that goes to a tenant passes through your checklist first. You own the release

defect escape rate, the feature review turnaround, and the UX debt register. You work

directly with the engineering team and the Operations Manager to ship quality at velocity.

What You'll Do

• Own the release gate for every feature on the SaaS platform and the media-engine

infrastructure

• Run feature reviews with a sub-48-hour turnaround

• Maintain the UX debt register (kept current, reviewed weekly with the team)

• Run pre-release QA: functional, cross-device, regression, UX heuristics, data/privacy

• Coach the engineering team on UX and QA standards

• Report quality metrics weekly to the Operations Manager

What We're Looking For (Must-Have)

• 3-5 years of manual QA testing experience

• Has owned a release gate before (has blocked releases for quality reasons and earned

the team's respect for it)

• Strong functional testing, regression testing, and cross-device testing skills

• UX heuristics knowledge — can spot a broken IA, a missing empty state, an

inaccessible flow

• Data and privacy awareness — knows what touches tenant isolation and treats it as a

release blocker

• Has worked in SaaS environments with frequent releases

• AI-native tooling awareness — uses AI to accelerate test work, not replace judgement

What We're Looking For (Preferred)

- Experience with AI/ML products

- Test automation experience (AI Browser Automation, Playwright, Cypress, or similar)

• Multi-tenant SaaS QA experience

• Has managed a small QA team

Who Excels in This Role

• Takes ownership — treats the role as their own operation; ships the work end-to-end

• Proactive — sees the next move before being asked; ships the fix and reports

• Domain expert — has real, hands-on depth in the discipline this role covers

• Out-of-the-box thinker — when the obvious move stops working, finds the non-obvious

one quickly

• Performs under stress — triages and ships in real-time when things break
