About us
Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth. Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.
We are looking for a skilled Senior QA Engineer to join our team and own the quality assurance function across an active Agile delivery engagement. Reporting to the Delivery/Engineering Lead, you will be responsible for continuous test automation that runs in parallel with sprint development cycles — ensuring that every feature shipped is reliable, secure, and production-ready.
Your primary focus will span three core areas: UI automation using Cypress, API validation using Postman, and security/compliance validation through Veracode scanning. Beyond ongoing sprint support, you will serve as the dedicated QA resource during the client's formal User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase — triaging defects, driving bug resolution, and delivering quick-fixes under real-world acceptance pressure.
This role suits a QA professional who takes ownership of quality end-to-end, can operate autonomously within a fast-moving delivery team, and understands that great QA is as much about preventing issues as catching them.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORMust-Have
- 4+ years of experience in software QA with a strong focus on test automation in Agile/Scrum environments
- Hands-on proficiency with Cypress for UI/end-to-end test automation, including test suite architecture and maintenance
- Demonstrated experience with Postman for API testing, including collection design, environment management, and automated assertions
- Working knowledge of Veracode or equivalent SAST/DAST tools for vulnerability scanning and security validation pre-release
- Experience executing QA activities concurrently with sprint development — not just at the end of the cycle
- Proven ability to triage, prioritize, and resolve defects rapidly during UAT phases under client-facing pressure
Nice-to-Have
- Experience integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
- Familiarity with coding standards review and quality gates as part of a release checklist
- Exposure to OWASP or other security testing frameworks
- Proactive by default — you don't wait to be handed a test plan; you identify gaps, build coverage, and raise risks before they become issues
- Detail-oriented under pressure — you maintain rigor during high-stakes phases like UAT without sacrificing speed or client confidence
- A clear communicator — you can translate a failing test or a Veracode flag into plain language that developers, PMs, and clients can act on
- Sprint-native — you think in iterations, adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and know how to balance thoroughness with delivery velocity
- Ownership-driven — you treat quality as your accountability, not a shared afterthought, and take pride in clean, confident releases
- Collaborative but independent — you work closely with developers and product teams, but you don't need hand-holding to deliver
Accommodations are available upon request throughout the recruitment process.
