Senior QA Automation Engineer

Pune, Maharashtra, India

Full Time

Product Development

Experienced

Location: India (Remote)
Experience: 5+ years, B2B SaaS

Limelight is a modern FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) SaaS platform helping finance teams move beyond spreadsheets and static budgets. We enable CFOs and FP&A teams to model, forecast, and analyze financial performance in real time—with speed, confidence, and governance.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer to help us scale a high-quality, reliable SaaS platform used for mission-critical financial decision-making.

As part of Limelight’s Product Development team, you’ll own and evolve our automated testing strategy—ensuring stability, performance, and trust across everything we ship, from core financial modeling to AI-driven features.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building robust automation frameworks, collaborating closely with developers and product managers, and raising the quality bar across the organization.

What You’ll Do

Design and build our test automation framework from scratch, using Playwright as the foundation.
Own end-to-end quality across UI, API, and backend/integration layers.
Combine automated testing with manual and exploratory testing — especially for complex financial calculations, data integrity, and edge cases where human judgment matters.
Write, maintain, and scale automated test suites; integrate them into CI/CD.
Tackle flaky tests, test data management, and environment stability head-on.
Partner directly with product development on requirements, edge cases, and release readiness.
Champion quality earlier in the development cycle — not just at the end.
Manage test cases, defects, and documentation in Jira and Confluence.

What You Bring

5+ years of QA automation experience in SaaS or web-based applications
Strong hands-on experience with API testing (REST/JSON, auth, error handling) and running tests in CI (e.g., Postman + Newman)
Experience with browser automation (Playwright preferred; Cypress, Selenium, or similar)
Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for test automation
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (parallel runs, retries, artifacts, quality gates)
Working knowledge of Git and SQL (PostgreSQL) for test data setup and validation
Strong ability to debug end-to-end issues using browser DevTools and logs
Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams and collaborating cross-functionally
Ability to write clear, high-quality defect reports with evidence and impact
Excellent communication, problem-solving, and analytical skills

Nice to have:
Experience testing AI/ML-driven features
Experience with financial, analytics, or data-intensive platforms

Education
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
