Job Title: Quality Assurance Engineer

Role Summary

The QA Engineer is responsible for leading and executing quality assurance activities for an in-house, cloud-native enterprise system undergoing modernization. The role establishes QA standards, improves test coverage, and ensures releases meet quality, stability, security, and audit expectations.

The role is hands-on and leadership-oriented, covering manual testing, automation, CI/CD-based test execution, and release readiness, while providing limited QA oversight for the legacy platform during transition.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own the overall QA strategy and test approach for the new platform.
• Design, execute, and review functional, integration, regression, and UAT test cases.
• Validate end-to-end workflows across web, mobile, backend services, and data layers.
• Lead defect triage, prioritization, and validation in coordination with development teams.
• Drive and implement test automation for critical and repeatable workflows using industry-standard frameworks.
• Execute and orchestrate automated tests using Google Cloud–based CI/CD and testing services.
• Validate APIs, integrations, data accuracy, and system behavior across environments.
• Ensure releases meet defined quality gates and exit criteria prior to deployment.
• Participate in sprint planning, reviews, and release readiness assessments.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to QA team members or junior testers.
• Oversee limited QA activities for the legacy platform, focusing on stability and risk reduction.
  
  

• Ensure QA processes support auditability, traceability, and compliance requirements.
• Validate access controls, approval workflows, and critical business rules.
• Test data-driven and AI-assisted features for correctness, explainability, and user control.
• Leverage logging, monitoring, and error reporting to support post-release validation and regression detection.
• Maintain clear QA documentation to support audits, internal reviews, and post-implementation assessments.
• Identify systemic quality risks and recommend process, tooling, or automation improvements.
  
  

• 5–10+ years of experience in Quality Assurance for enterprise or system-based applications.
• Strong hands-on experience testing web, mobile, and backend systems.
• Proven experience leading test planning, execution, and release validation.
• Solid experience testing APIs, integrations, and data-driven workflows.
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, defect management, and quality metrics.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with developers, architects, and business stakeholders.
• Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills.
  
  

• Experience with manual and automated testing approaches.
• Hands-on experience with automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Jest, Appium, or similar).
• Experience executing automated tests through CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with Google Cloud testing and automation enablers, such as:
• Cloud Build (test execution)
• Firebase Test Lab (mobile test automation)
• Cloud Logging and Monitoring (post-release validation)
• Working knowledge of databases and data validation.
• Experience working in Agile or sprint-based environments.
  
  

• Experience testing cloud-native or distributed systems.
• Exposure to QA for AI-assisted or analytics-driven features.
• Experience in regulated, mission-critical, or large-scale enterprise environments.
• Experience helping define or improve QA standards and automation strategy.
• Must be willing to work onsite at our Ortigas Center office and be comfortable working UK time hours.
