Senior QA Analyst (Frontend) – (India)

Job Overview

We are seeking a Senior QA Analyst to own quality assurance across the frontend-to-middleware boundary of a multi-step web onboarding workflow.

This role goes beyond scripted execution — it requires the analytical depth to design exploratory test strategies, apply structured testing techniques like equivalence partitioning, and validate that the workflow's step-by-step progression and submission states behave correctly under a wide range of input conditions.

The candidate will review the evidence produced by the Manual QA Tester and convert observed frontend behaviour into a validated state model/FSM, including decision forks, equivalence classes, persona-specific behaviour, and boundary conditions.

The ideal candidate is comfortable triaging complex defects and driving them to resolution.

19th October

4 Weeks

Commitment

40 Hours per week

Location

India (Remote)

Job Type

Freelance (with the possibility of full time employment based on performance and project needs in all opportunity)

Responsibilities

Design and execute advanced exploratory testing to uncover issues not captured by scripted test cases, particularly around how form-level validation carries through to submission behaviour

Apply boundary testing techniques to identify edge-case failures across frontend input handling and the middleware calls that consume that data

Use equivalence partitioning to design efficient, high-coverage test cases across valid, invalid, and edge-case input classes for form and workflow fields

Validate application behavior against defined state models (e.g., step progression, enabled/disabled action states, submission and confirmation states) to confirm correct transitions under both expected and unexpected input

Lead defect triage sessions, prioritizing issues by severity, impact, and reproducibility

Partner with developers to clarify root causes and confirm fixes against original defect conditions

Mentor junior QA testers on exploratory techniques and structured test design

Contribute to test strategy documentation and coverage planning for frontend/middleware features

Formalize and maintain the onboarding FSM/state-transition model based on observed application behavior.

Identify and document decision forks, state dependencies, persona-specific variations, and boundary conditions.

Validate coverage across the representative onboarding personas and identify gaps requiring additional controlled testing.

Produce a validated frontend/state-model evidence package for handoff to the Middleware SDET workstream.

Maintain traceability between observed UI behavior, FSM states, decision forks, and supporting evidence.

Required Qualifications

Solid 3-5+ years of experience as a QA Analyst with exposure to both frontend and middleware testing

Demonstrated expertise in exploratory and boundary testing methodologies

Practical experience applying equivalence partitioning and other formal test design techniques

Familiarity with state-machine / workflow-state concepts and validating multi-step systems against expected state transitions

Strong defect triage experience, including severity/priority classification and cross-team coordination

Analytical mindset with the ability to identify non-obvious edge cases

Effective communicator capable of guiding triage discussions and mentoring peers

Experience testing complex multi-step workflows, onboarding systems, registration flows, or account-creation processes is strongly preferred.

Ability to translate observed application behavior into structured state-transition models or equivalent workflow representations.

Working familiarity with browser and network developer tools is preferred; deep protocol-level expertise is not required.
