QA Engineer

Overview

Company Overview

Job Summary

QA Strategy & System Design

• Define and evolve QA strategy, processes, and standards across the platform
• Design test approaches that balance speed, coverage, and maintainability
• Ensure quality is embedded early in the development lifecycle (not just at release)

AI-Augmented Testing

• Use AI-assisted tools to generate, expand, and maintain test cases
• Apply AI for test data generation, edge case discovery, and exploratory testing
• Establish practices for validating AI-generated tests and avoiding false confidence
• Guide engineers in using AI to improve test coverage and quality signals

Test Automation

• Implement and maintain automated testing frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, Selenium)
• Build and manage test suites across:
• UI / end-to-end
• API / integration
• Regression
• Ensure tests are reliable, fast, and meaningful (avoid brittle or low-value tests)

Quality Execution

• Lead regression, integration, performance, and smoke testing
• Identify defects, edge cases, and system weaknesses proactively
• Work closely with developers to resolve issues efficiently
• Integration with Delivery
• Integrate quality checks into CI/CD pipelines
• Define and enforce quality gates for releases
• Contribute to improving deployment confidence and release stability

Collaboration & Standards

• Work with product and UX to define clear, testable acceptance criteria
• Promote shared ownership of quality across engineering teams
• Maintain clear, useful documentation for QA processes and test coverage

Leadership & Team Development

• Mentor junior QA engineers as the team grows
• Help build a scalable QA function aligned with engineering practices

Experience

• 5+ years of experience in QA or software testing
• Proven experience designing and implementing QA strategies
• Experience working in production environments with real users

AI & Workflow Fluency (Important)

• Experience using AI-assisted tools for testing or development workflows
• Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs
• Understanding of risks such as false positives, incomplete coverage, and over-reliance on automation

Technical Skills

• Strong experience with:
• Test automation frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or similar)
• Writing and maintaining test suites
• API testing and integration validation
• Familiarity with:
• CI/CD pipelines and quality gates
• Performance and load testing concepts

Engineering Approach

• Focus on meaningful coverage rather than volume of tests
• Ability to identify systemic risks, not just individual bugs
• Pragmatic approach to balancing speed and quality

Communication

• Strong collaboration skills with developers, product, and leadership
• Ability to clearly communicate risks, trade-offs, and quality decisions

Education

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience (preferred)

Job Type

• Full-time

Location

• Dubai Motor City (on-site, no remote/hybrid)

Relocation/Commute

• Must be able to reliably commute or relocate

Language

• Fluent English required

Notes on Role Expectations

• This is a **high-impact, system ownership role**.
• Success is defined by:
• Reduced defect escape rate and increased release confidence
• Fast, reliable feedback loops for engineers
• Effective use of automation and AI to improve coverage without slowing delivery
• QA here is not a gate at the end of the process.
• It is a function that shapes how the system is built.
• Candidates who focus only on manual testing or checklist execution will struggle.
• Candidates who think in systems, identify risk early, and improve how teams build software will succeed.
• Pay: AED8,000.00 - AED10,000.00 per month
