QA Engineer (Maintenance)

We are looking for a QA Engineer to join a long-term engagement focused on maintenance across a portfolio of 20 projects. Not all of them are active at any given time — the number of active projects varies by cycle depending on scope and demand. The projects span multiple domains — including finance, e-commerce, healthcare, and third-party integrations — each with its own scope, cadence, and team. Allocations vary across projects, and priorities are managed on a weekly basis in close coordination with a dedicated PM. Job Responsibilities Identify, document, and track defects, and work with the development team to resolve them. Create, audit, and update test cases and QA documentation. Perform functional, regression, exploratory, and user acceptance testing. Cover iOS and Android mobile apps as the primary testing surface, with web flows tested as needed. Take full ownership of QA on assigned maintenance projects, operating as the sole QA on each pod. Adapt quickly to different project contexts, domains, and cadences across a rotating weekly workload. Sync with the PM daily to align on priorities and report status, blockers, and coverage. Required Qualifications 3+ years of QA engineering experience. Strong experience with mobile application testing (iOS and Android); web testing experience is a plus. Experience as a sole QA on a project, with the ability to work independently and take full ownership of quality. Experience creating and maintaining test cases and test plans. Good understanding of SDLC, STLC, QA processes, and defect lifecycle. Strong knowledge of software testing methodologies, tools, and best practices. Hands-on experience with Postman and/or Newman for API testing. Experience using traffic inspection tools such as Charles or Proxyman. Familiarity with BrowserStack for cross-device testing. Comfortable using AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) as part of the daily workflow. Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to clearly report status, blockers, and test coverage to a PM and development team on a weekly cadence. English level B2 or higher. Nice-to-Have Experience with a test management tool such as QA Sphere, Testiny, Zephyr, or similar. Experience working across domains such as finance, e-commerce, healthcare, or third-party integrations. Experience with booking, rental, e-commerce, or payment-related products. Familiarity with Git. Familiarity with AI tools like Cursor, Copilot, or similar tools in QA work.
