Role Summary: We are seeking a highly skilled and AI-forward QA Automation Engineer to join our dedicated Revenue Pod. Working in a tight-knit, agile trio alongside a Lead Developer and a Developer, you will be the absolute gatekeeper for quality on all revenue-critical features within the UFP ecosystem. Unlike traditional QA roles, this position demands an AI-first mindset. You will leverage AI tools like Cursor to accelerate test creation and optimize coverage. Your core focus will be robust API automation, extensive backend validation, and end-to-end (E2E) UI testing across our web (Angular) and mobile (Flutter) applications. Because you are testing revenue-generating systems, precision, security, and an understanding of financial data flows are paramount. Responsibilities API Testing & Automation (Core Focus) Design, develop, and maintain comprehensive API test automation suites. Act as the resident expert in Postman, validating complex RESTful APIs, payload structures, and microservices interactions (e.g., .NET backends). Ensure data integrity and security for all billing, invoicing, and revenue-related data flows. Payment Gateway Integration Testing Rigorously test integrations with primary payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, Razorpay). Validate complex financial workflows, including recurring billing cycles, webhook processing, asynchronous payment confirmations, and edge cases (e.g., failed payments, refunds, proration). AI-Driven Quality Assurance Actively use AI-assisted development tools (such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Gemini) to write, refactor, and maintain test scripts faster and more efficiently. Prompt and leverage AI to generate edge-case scenarios, dummy data, and complex test architectures. End-to-End (E2E) Automation Build and maintain scalable automated E2E test scripts using Playwright for web applications. Execute cross-browser and cross-device testing to ensure seamless workflows across the platform. Agile Pod Collaboration Work directly with 1 Lead Developer and 1 Developer in the Revenue Pod to integrate testing continuously into the CI/CD pipeline. Participate in architectural discussions to ensure new revenue features are built with testability and financial security in mind from day one. Release & Defect Management Conduct exploratory and manual testing when necessary for new, complex workflows before they are automated. Manage test cycles, certify staging environments, and perform production smoke testing for financial/revenue releases. Track defects rigorously and collaborate with developers for rapid resolution. Qualifications Test Automation: Strong, hands-on expertise with Playwright for web automation. API Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Postman and REST API automation testing. Deep understanding of HTTP protocols, status codes, and JSON validations. Payment Systems Experience: Proven experience testing payment gateways (Stripe, Razorpay, etc.), managing webhooks, and understanding asynchronous financial transactions. AI Tooling: Proven experience using AI coding assistants (like Cursor ) to enhance productivity, write automated tests, or generate QA documentation. Tech Stack Familiarity: Experience testing in modern application environments (e.g., C#/.NET backends, Angular frontends, and Flutter mobile apps). Team Dynamics: Proven ability to thrive in a small, fast-paced pod structure, taking complete ownership of the QA lifecycle with a high degree of accountability.
