You will also drive automation initiatives, transforming manual regression tests into automated suites and scheduling execution in line with release cycles. Your involvement in reviewing smoke tests, analyzing defects, and ensuring high test coverage will strengthen overall application quality and reduce production risks.

This role requires strong financial domain exposure, particularly within lending systems, along with deep knowledge of QA best practices and enterprise testing tools. As an AVP-level engineer, you will contribute to maintainable deployments, enforce organizational test strategies, and uphold quality standards across iterations.

3. Convert manual regression tests into automated test suites, maintaining and enhancing automation scripts for each release cycle.

4. Review smoke and regression test results daily, analyze failures, and coordinate with development teams for timely defect resolution.

5. Version control test artifacts using tools such as Bitbucket, GitHub, Perforce, or SVN to maintain traceability and consistency.

6. Ensure high test coverage quality by validating business logic, APIs, database interactions, and integration flows.

7. Maintain and update test scripts based on functionality changes and evolving business requirements.

8. Collaborate with business stakeholders, analysts, and project managers to align testing activities with organizational test strategy.

9. Enforce industry-standard QA practices and continuously enhance testing frameworks and processes.

10. Promote knowledge sharing within the team and actively participate in project-wide discussions impacting quality assurance.

Requirements & Eligibility:

1. 10–12 years of relevant experience as a QA Engineer, preferably within the financial services or banking industry.

2. Strong expertise in functional testing and solid understanding of automation testing methodologies and frameworks.

3. Hands-on experience with HP ALM, Quality Center, and JIRA for test management and defect lifecycle tracking.

4. In-depth knowledge of the software testing lifecycle, including test planning, execution, reporting, and closure activities.

5. Strong working knowledge of SQL and RDBMS databases for backend validation and data verification.

6. Experience working in Unix/Linux environments with basic shell scripting capabilities.

7. Familiarity with automation tools such as Selenium or HP UFT and scripting languages like VBScript, JavaScript, Shell, or Perl.

8. Knowledge of Agile methodologies and unit testing practices in enterprise development environments.

9. ISEB Software Testing Certification (Foundation/Intermediate/Practitioner) is desirable.

10. Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder management skills with the ability to prioritize tasks and deliver high-quality results under tight timelines.
