Junior QA Engineer

Candidates typically face a three‑stage process: an online aptitude test, followed by a technical interview focusing on manual testing concepts, tools like Jira and Postman, and a brief discussion on AI‑assisted testing; the final HR round assesses cultural fit and communication skills. The difficulty is moderate, and preparation on basic QA fundamentals and aptitude questions greatly improves chances.

Retailcloud promotes a collaborative and fast‑paced work culture where employees are encouraged to experiment and share ideas. The company offers clear growth paths, regular learning sessions and a healthy work‑life balance supported by flexible timings and fun monthly events.

The Junior QA Engineer role is an entry‑level position designed for fresh graduates with a passion for quality assurance and a keen eye for detail.

This role offers a unique opportunity to build a solid foundation in manual testing while also exploring AI‑assisted testing tools, making it an ideal launchpad for a career in quality engineering. Key responsibilities include: executing manual test cases derived from user stories, requirements and design documents; identifying, logging and tracking defects in Jira with clear reproduction steps; performing functional, regression, exploratory and integration testing across web and mobile platforms; using API testing tools such as Postman and Swagger to validate data flows; assisting in the creation and maintenance of test cases, checklists and validation documentation; collaborating closely with developers, product managers and senior QA members to understand feature flows; re‑testing resolved defects and ensuring no new issues are introduced; actively participating in Agile ceremonies like sprint planning, daily stand‑ups and sprint reviews; learning and applying QA best practices, tools and internal workflows under mentorship; leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to generate test ideas, improve documentation and accelerate repetitive tasks. The role also expects a basic interest in AI‑assisted testing concepts, familiarity with version control (Git) and the ability to quickly adapt to new tools and processes. The tech stack revolves around web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), mobile platforms (iOS/Android), RESTful APIs, and testing utilities such as Jira, Postman, Swagger and Git.
