About this role

This is a remote position.

Shuru is an AI-native engineering services company building products with leading startups, enterprises, and well-funded scale-ups across India, Southeast Asia, the UAE, and global markets. Our engineers work in small, dedicated squads, ship in weekly cycles, and use AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as a standard part of how we build. We hire for fundamentals, give engineers real ownership, and back them with a culture that respects deep work.

We are looking for a hands-on QA Lead who can take ownership of product quality across backend services, web, and mobile applications. The role requires strong backend/API automation expertise, solid QA leadership, and the ability to communicate confidently with clients and engineering teams. A key focus of this role will be improving QA efficiency through AI-assisted and AI-driven automation. We are looking for practical experience applying AI within real QA workflows.

Responsibilities

  • 4+ years of experience in QA automation, SDET, or mobile test automation roles.
  • Work with Playwright, Appium, Maestro, and React Testing Library.
  • Write scalable tests using semantic locators and reusable test patterns.
  • Optimize large test suites through sharding, parallel execution, retries, and rerunning failed suites.
  • Integrate QA automation into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Generate nightly QA reports and track test health.
  • Debug flaky tests and improve test reliability.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to improve release quality.

Requirements

  • 4–5+ years of QA / Quality Engineering experience.
  • Strong backend/API automation experience.
  • Strong understanding of automation framework design.
  • Experience with API testing and database validation.
  • Experience integrating automation into CI/CD.
  • Familiarity with Playwright.
  • Hands-on experience incorporating AI into QA automation workflows.
  • Git and standard software development workflows.
Preferred
  • Node.js / JavaScript automation experience.
  • Maestro for mobile automation.
  • PostgreSQL or similar relational databases.
  • Experience testing microservices and distributed systems.
  • Experience with queues, asynchronous processing, or event-driven systems.
  • Cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Performance/load testing exposure.
  • Leadership & Client Management
  • This is not a purely execution-focused QA role. The candidate should be comfortable operating as the QA owner for a project.

Benefits


  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Work with experienced product and engineering leaders.
  • Flexible and remote-friendly work culture.
  • Opportunities for learning, mentorship, and career growth.
  • A chance to make a real impact across diverse, innovative projects.
