Job Description:We are looking for a quality-obsessed Senior QA Engineer who brings a whole-team quality mindset and an automation-first approach to everything they do. This is not a traditional test-execution role — you will be a quality champion embedded in an agile squad, owning the full spectrum of quality engineering: from shift-left practices through API automation, performance engineering and post-release live monitoring. You will work in a fast-paced travel technology environment where quality is baked in from day one, not bolted on at the end.Key Responsibilities· Participate in sprint planning with meaningful test estimates based on complexity and scope· Identify browser, device, and OS test coverage targets· Champion the Test Pyramid philosophy — prioritise exhaustive API test suites over deep UI integration suites; push coverage as far down the stack as the defect signal allows.· Design and write additional test cases beyond acceptance criteria — focusing on edge cases, negative scenarios, boundary conditions, and critical persona-based journeys that serve as future automation candidates.· Apply exploratory testing techniques to uncover defects that scripted tests miss· Validate component-level and service-level API contracts — status codes, response schemas, payload correctness, error handling, and edge-case behaviour.· Extend API automation practices to cover authentication flows, rate limiting, data consistency across microservices, and inter-service dependency behaviour.· Leverage modern API testing tools where appropriate — Playwright API mode, REST Assured, k6 for scripted API load scenarios — and contribute to tooling decisions.· Author and maintain Priority 1 UI end-to-end regression suites using Playwright (preferred) or Cypress, covering critical booking and transactional flows across web and mobile web.· Conduct client-side performance analysis before every production release — capturing Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Total Blocking Time (TBT), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), First Byte Time, and Window "text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 2.0pt 0cm 2.0pt 50.0pt;">· Design and execute server-side performance and load tests using the in-house K6 / Node.js performance framework — simulating realistic HTTP/S traffic patterns mirroring production URL and endpoint sequences.· Collect and publish server-side metrics via AppInsights and Grafana: 90p/95p/99p response times per API endpoint and dependency, 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx response code distributions, Server Exceptions, and Failed/Timed-Out Dependencies.· Monitor application health post-release using AppInsights and use Kibana for log analysisSkills:· Strong hands-on proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript for API test automation using any NodeJS package and Postman Collections.· Solid understanding of REST API principles — HTTP methods, status codes, headers, authentication schemes (OAuth2, JWT, API keys), and JSON/XML payload validation.· Hands-on experience with Playwright or Cypress for cross-browser UI automation — including parallel execution, test isolation, and visual regression.· Experience with mobile automation using Appium, Espresso for iOS and Android coverage.· Hands-on experience with K6 or Locust for server-side load and performance testing· Familiarity with client-side performance tooling: WebPageTest or Lighthouse — and ability to interpret Core Web Vitals and request waterfall data.Experience reading and interpreting AppInsights or Grafana dashboards for 90p/95p/99p response time analysis, error rate tracking, and dependency performanceAbout Company:Bahwan CyberTek (BCT) is a global provider of digital transformation solutions.
