About the role
The client is seeking a candidate capable of reducing an existing QA backlog without a prolonged onboarding period. The job goes beyond manual testing: it involves converting an existing test case library to Gherkin/Cucumber scenarios, as well as lightweight and targeted backend automation. The fixed-price context means the candidate must deliver with minimal supervision, excluding profiles requiring mentoring or a learning curve. The term "immediately applicable expertise" indicates an expectation of productivity from the outset, without a learning curve. The role therefore combines writing BDD scenarios and technical automation, distinguishing this profile from a traditional manual tester.
We are looking for someone who can: quickly contribute to reducing QA backlogs; convert an existing library of manual test cases to Gherkin/Cucumber scenarios; participate in lightweight and targeted backend test automation; work with minimal supervision in a fixed-price project context; provide immediately applicable expertise to reduce the team's workload rather than requiring significant support. REQUIREMENTS QUALIFICATION TABLE Conversion of manual test cases to Gherkin/Cucumber scenarios | Mandatory | All requirements Lightweight and targeted backend test automation | Mandatory | All requirements Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fixed-price context | Mandatory | All requirements Experience in analyzing and executing QA tests enabling rapid backlog reduction | Mandatory | All requirements
Requirements DESIRED Experience in the banking, finance, or insurance sector | One option is sufficient | Sufficient majority
ASSET Knowledge of API testing tools (e.g., Postman, REST Assured) | List of examples | Sufficient majority Previous experience at or a comparable institution | One option is sufficient | Sufficient majority Note: Backend automation is described as "light and targeted" by the client, therefore evaluated as a demonstrated skill rather than advanced expertise in automation frameworks.
WHAT WE DON'T WANT Junior profile requiring training or support on Gherkin/Cucumber. Manual tester without experience in test automation. Profile requiring significant supervision in a fixed-price project context. Candidate without experience converting existing test cases to BDD. Profile focused solely on test execution, without the ability to write test scenarios.
