About Job

As a QA Engineer at Cover Genius, you'll be at the forefront of our commitment to quality. Your primary role will be to cultivate a pervasive quality culture, ensuring it's deeply embedded in our daily operations and mindsets. You'll achieve this by developing advanced test frameworks and collaborating directly with engineers to implement and scale cutting-edge testing practices. A key team member integral to every product and service delivery, you will also champion the adoption of AI-augmented QA engineering, actively leveraging generative AI to streamline requirements analysis, test design, and automation code authoring.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with product and engineering to author and refine requirements using generative-AI assistants (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Windsurf etc), ensuring clarity, consistency, and testability.

• Understand and reinforce the business value of the requirements of the company and project core goals of the products and services we offer.

• Review requirements, specifications, and technical design documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback.

• Develop and maintain reliable UI test automation using Playwright (JavaScript) or a comparable tool if Playwright experience is limited but willingness to learn is present.

• Design, execute, and automate REST API tests using Postman (collections, environment variables, pre-/post-request scripts), ensuring coverage of all critical endpoints.

• Employ AI-powered coding assistants (e.g., Windsurf) to generate, refactor, and document test automation code, accelerating delivery while maintaining high quality.

• Conduct AI-assisted code reviews and static analysis to detect defects and ensure adherence to coding standards before merge.

• Continuously evaluate emerging AI QA tooling (e.g., autonomous test-case generation, log-analysis agents, visual-diff tools) and champion their adoption across squads.

• Identify, record, document thoroughly, and track bugs.

• Perform thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved.

• Develop and apply testing processes for new and existing products to meet the company's objectives.

• Liaise with internal teams (e.g. developers and product managers) to identify system requirements.

• Monitor debugging process results.

• Investigate the causes of non-conforming software and train users to implement solutions.

• Demonstrate an ability to quickly learn and adopt new testing frameworks and tools (e.g., Playwright for UI, Postman for API) to ensure we remain at the cutting edge of QA practices.

• Stay up-to-date with new testing tools and test strategies.

What you will bring:

• 4 years or more of full-time experience working as a QA or Test Engineer.

• Experience with Web manual testing, including creating test cases, executing tests, and reporting defects.

• Proven hands-on experience with generative-AI tools (ChatGPT/GPT-4o, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Claude, etc.) for requirements clarification, test-design ideation, code generation, and peer code review.

• Ability to integrate new AI services into existing test frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and quality-gating workflows, assessing their impact on speed, coverage, and reliability;General solid troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

• Great requirement analysis and gap analysis skills;It is nice to have basic knowledge of SQL, Bash, Docker, Git and GitLab.
