In this role, you will be responsible for identifying, analyzing, and documenting software defects and performance issues across multiple platforms. You will design, develop, and execute comprehensive test programs covering areas such as database validation, regression, and usability testing. Additionally, you will participate in product design reviews, provide input on functional requirements, and ensure software compatibility across systems, hardware, and network environments. Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will help enhance product quality through continuous testing, automation, and process improvement.

StartupHeroes has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and strive to improve a little every day.

What You Will Be Doing

• Design, build, and maintain robust automated and manual test cases for regression and sanity testing.
• Execute, update, and track test results across multiple environments.
• Review, validate, and document defects with clear reproduction steps and impact analysis.
• Develop and maintain test automation frameworks and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute creative ideas to improve testing efficiency and reduce manual effort.
• Collaborate with developers and product teams to ensure high-quality releases.

What You Should Have
