QA Engineer

Title: QA Engineer Location: Casablanca / Morocco / Casablanca Morocco

Act as the tactical executor of quality assurance within sprints and the QA owner inside a squad. Bridge requirements with automation-ready and sustainable test coverage, collaborating closely with developers under a QA Shift-Left approach.

TASKS & RESPONSABILITIES

Overview: . Own sprint-level QA: test planning, story testability, data, manual & exploratory runs, and story-level automation following Organization set standards. . Collaborate Shift-Left with developers: write automation early, review acceptance criteria, propose testability improvements. . Keep a squad regression checklist; nominate cases to the shared/domain regression as per organization process standards Track squad quality signals (coverage, pass/fail, leakage, flakiness); contribute to dashboards; lead squad defect triage and RCA with devs.

Sprint-Level Quality Ownership . Own all QA activities for assigned user stories, ensuring complete functional and integration coverage. · Create and maintain sprint-level test plans aligned with acceptance criteria and integration needs. · Actively participate in refinement to clarify acceptance criteria and ensure testability (Shift-Left). · Maintain a squad-level regression checklist; propose candidates for broader regression to the QA Product Lead.

Test Case Design & Execution . Design high-quality, reusable, modular test cases for functional, negative, edge, and API scenarios. . Ensure test cases are automation-ready and follow organizational standards defined by QA Lead (Org). . Execute manual and exploratory testing within each sprint. . Prepare and maintain test data sets to support consistent execution across environments. . Evaluate relevance of test cases and propose refactoring/removal of obsolete tests.

Automation Contribution . Implement and maintain story-level automated tests using approved frameworks (Selenium, Postman, Gherkin/Java). . Follow framework architecture and coding standards defined by QA Lead (Org). . Collaborate with developers to ensure automation is created early in the sprint (Shift-Left). . Investigate automation failures, apply fixes under code review, and identify root causes. . Flag flaky tests, propose stabilization improvements, and implement approved fixes.

Quality Governance (Squad Level) . Track and report quality signals: coverage, execution rate, defect leakage, automation stability. . Provide quality insights to QA Product Lead and Domain Engineering Manager for dashboards and governance. . Recommend process or tooling improvements while ensuring alignment with organizational standards. . Promote Shift-Left practices by improving user story readiness and acceptance criteria quality. . Participate in squad retrospectives to improve test planning, coverage, and testability.

Defect Management . Coordinate with QA Product Lead on Squad Assigned Defects assignment and resolution based on SLA/MTR. . Lead squad-level defect triage, ensuring accuracy of severity, priority, and reproduction paths. . Ensure defects include logs, payloads, data, and screenshots to accelerate investigation. . Collaborate with developers on root-cause analysis and validate corrective actions. . Expand regression coverage by adding checks for fixed defects and recommending broader regression candidates.

Collaboration . Fully embedded in one or more squads, collaborating daily with developers, PO, and UX/UI. . Participate in all Agile ceremonies, driving quality-focused conversations. . Coach junior testers on test design, exploratory testing, and story readiness. . Coordinate with other squads QA engineers when stories span multiple domains or integration points.

Limited Beta / Pre-Release Support . Support targeted beta actions for squad-owned features (exploratory, smoke, usability checks). . Escalate broader beta campaign needs to QA Prod Lead to avoid scope overlap with platform-level QA.

Continuous Improvement . Identify bottlenecks in QA processes and propose actionable improvements. . Raise suggestions for enhancing test frameworks, automation practices, and story readiness. . Share quality learnings within the squad and the QA Guild to improve domain-wide maturity.

Requirements

Professional Background, Skills & Abilities . Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field. . 3–6 years QA experience in SaaS or similar environments. . Experience in test planning, execution, functional and integration testing. . Hands-on with Selenium, Postman, Gherkin, Java, Azure DevOps. . Certifications in ISTQB foundation CTFL/ CTFL-AT/ CTFL-TTA or certifications in Agile Testing, DevOps Quality, or Test Automation are beneficial . Knowledge of SDLC, Agile, and Shift-Left testing practices. . Strong analytical and communication skills. . Comfortable collaborating with developers on test design early in the process. . Ability to handle multiple stories and integrations within the squad.
