Intermediate QA Engineer

Role Summary

We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-driven Intermediate QA Engineer to join our Quality Assurance team. This role is suited to a quality-focused professional who takes ownership of product reliability and actively contributes to improving test strategy and delivery standards.

You will play a critical role in ensuring our web and mobile applications are stable, scalable, and user-centric. The ideal candidate demonstrates strong test design capability, structured thinking, and the ability to work confidently within Agile delivery teams.

This is not a “test case executor” role — we are looking for someone who thinks critically, challenges assumptions, and proactively improves quality.

Key Responsibilities

Test Analysis & Design

• Analyse business and functional requirements and identify testable conditions.
• Design comprehensive, risk-based test scenarios and test cases.
• Contribute to sprint-level and release-level test planning.
• Identify gaps, ambiguities, and risks early in the development lifecycle.

Test Execution & Validation

• Execute functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing across web and mobile platforms.
• Validate API integrations using tools such as Postman.
• Perform database validations using SQL where required.
• Ensure cross-browser and cross-device compatibility.
• Provide clear, structured test evidence and reporting.

Defect Management

• Log clear, reproducible, high-quality defects in Jira.
• Perform impact analysis and assist in root cause discussions.
• Track defects through to resolution and retest effectively.

Agile Collaboration

• Actively participate in sprint ceremonies (planning, refinement, stand-ups, retros).
• Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders.
• Provide input on acceptance criteria and the Definition of Done.
• Advocate for quality throughout the SDLC.

Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to improving QA processes, standards, and documentation.
• Identify opportunities for efficiency gains and risk reduction.

Required Experience & Skills

• 4–6 years of hands-on experience in software testing (manual focus).
• Strong test case design skills (boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, negative testing, etc.).
• Solid understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies.
• Experience working with Jira (or similar defect management tools).
• Experience using test management tools (TestRail, Zephyr, or similar).
• Experience testing APIs (Postman or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of SQL for data validation.
• Strong analytical and root cause analysis skills.
• Ability to independently manage workload and priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• High attention to detail and structured documentation skills.

What We Look For

• Someone who thinks like a product owner, not just a tester.
• Someone who challenges vague requirements.
• Someone who can prioritise testing based on risk.
• Someone who is proactive, accountable, and solution-oriented.
• Someone who raises the overall QA maturity of the team.

Highly Preferred

• iGaming industry experience.
• ISTQB Foundation (or higher).
• Experience testing transactional or high-availability systems.
• Experience with browser compatibility and usability testing.
• Exposure to version control systems (Git).

Nice to Have

• Exposure to auto
