Quality Assurance Engineer

Do you care deeply about how users perceive the quality of your applications? Do you have an eye for details and want to understand how the software created should meet the needs of the end user? We are looking for a motivated QA engineer who is ready to put automated API tests at the core of the testing process, complemented by manual testing when necessary, and ensure that quality gates are passed before deployments are approved for release. 

About the Role 

As a Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of ensuring our insurance platforms meet the highest standards of functionality and performance. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement robust testing strategies that protect our users' experience and maintain the integrity of our systems. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Collaborate closely with product owners, requirements engineers, and subject matter experts to understand insurance platform functionality 

• Develop comprehensive testing plans and gain deep understanding of operational processes inherent in the software 

• Create and maintain automated API tests using Postman Enterprise covering accuracy, performance, and load requirements 

• Implement quality gates to ensure thorough testing before approving deployments for release 

• Understand root cause analysis of production issues and enhance test case coverage accordingly 

• Stay current with emerging technologies and Generative AI developments to continuously improve testing efficiency 

• Drive the 'shift left' testing approach by focusing on API testing rather than UI testing to cover various business workflows and logic 

About the Team 

We are a team that believes in engineering excellence and that our leaders should also be engineers themselves. We build applications that are carefully designed, thoughtfully implemented, and surpass the expectations of our users by working hand-in-hand with product owners. Quality and stability are first-class deliverables in everything we do, and we lead by example by embedding high standards into our processes. 

About You 

You're a naturally curious and thoughtful professional who thrives in a high-performance engineering environment. You believe in continuous learning—whether through self-improvement or by absorbing knowledge from those around you—and you're excited to contribute to a team that values technical excellence and quality-first mindset. 

We are looking for candidates who meet these requirements: 

• Strong knowledge of APIs and API testing methodologies 

• Previous experience in a Quality Assurance role with focus on automated testing 

• Experience with test automation tools, particularly Postman for API testing 

• Understanding of software development lifecycle and quality assurance processes 

• Ability to analyze complex systems and develop effective testing strategies 

These are additional nice to haves: 

• Experience in the insurance or financial services industry 

• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and how testing integrates into automated deployment processes 

• Familiarity with performance testing tools and methodologies 

• Understanding of cloud-based application architectures 

• Experience with Agile development methodologies
