We help you discover meaningful work with teams that invest in your success, where you’re empowered to grow personally and professionally.
Join one of the highest-rated workplaces on Glassdoor and experience what it means to thrive in a truly remote-first world.

About the Role

We’re looking for a QA Engineer to join a collaborative product team responsible for maintaining and improving a large-scale HR and Payroll platform.
 You’ll play a key role in ensuring product quality by owning test strategy, designing and executing comprehensive test plans, and working closely with developers and product teams to deliver stable, high-performing releases.
 This is a long-term opportunity for someone who takes pride in precision, structure, and technical curiosity — ensuring every release meets the highest standards of reliability.

Responsibilities

    • Test Strategy & Planning – Define and own test strategy and system documentation; derive detailed test cases from user stories, acceptance criteria, and system architecture.
    • Testing Execution – Plan and execute functional, regression, exploratory, cross-browser, and mobile tests across the product suite, including web portals, APIs, and mobile applications.
    • API Testing – Conduct API validation and integration testing to ensure consistent and reliable backend communication.
    • Data Validation – Use SQL to verify data integrity and validate backend transactions.
    • Defect Management – Log, triage, and track issues using GitHub (or equivalent tools), verify fixes, and contribute to release readiness.
    • Cross-Team Collaboration – Work closely with developers, product managers, and UX designers to ensure quality throughout the development lifecycle.
    • Continuous Improvement – Contribute to automation opportunities, maintain test data, and help optimise QA processes within the pod.

Requirements

    • 3+ years of professional experience in manual and functional testing across web and API layers.
    • Proven hands-on experience with API testing tools and methodologies (e.g., Postman, Swagger, or similar).
    • SQL (3+ years) – strong ability to query databases for test validation and data integrity checks.
    • Experience with test case design, regression testing, and defect lifecycle management.
    • Knowledge of cross-browser testing and mobile validation for responsive applications.
    • Solid understanding of SDLC, Agile, and QA best practices.
    • Strong communication, documentation, and analytical skills with a high attention to detail.

Nice to Have

    • Exposure to automated testing frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright).
    • Experience working in agile, product-focused teams.
    • Familiarity with CI/CD integration and continuous testing pipelines.
    • Experience testing integrations with collaboration tools (e.g., Teams or Zoom).

Benefits

    • Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
    • No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
    • Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
    • Support That Matters:Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
    • True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
At Smart Working, you’ll never be just another remote hire.
