Qa Automation Tester

• Roles & Responsibilities

You are an Automation Tester with enough experience and smarts to come, setup and implement automation testing at Alaan

You are based in India (preferably Bengaluru or Delhi)

You are confident and internally motivated to proactively identify problems and figure out solutions by yourself with minimal supervision

You want to work at a fast paced startup (i.e., learning and growth are your professional priorities)

Why work at Alaan?

We believe we are onto something big and our growth so far supports the claim. We also have a pretty high retention rate. More about us below.

Alaan is the most intelligent solution for Middle Eastern enterprises to manage and control their spend. The Middle East is going through a payments revolution within a vast $3 trillion+ B2B payments market. However, managing expenses for regional businesses is still challenging, burdened by paper based manual processes from the 80s. Alaan steps in to eliminate these frustrations by offering an all-encompassing platform for spend management powered by new age corporate cards.

We’ve achieved all this with less than 15 folks in tech, product, design and QA. So you’ll be joining our core group and you would be working on things that really move the needle for our customers. As a group, we’re a competitive bunch and are always focussed on how can we solve customer pain points as fast as possible (with quality).

Equity + Cash compensation for all employees to bring a high degree of ownership into your work. We don’t want employees. We want people who want to own a part of the company and feel emotionally attached to building a great product.

Culture matters to us. We do frequent company off-sites to keep the remotely distributed team closely knit together.

What is the job exactly?

We are looking for someone who has both the requisite knowledge and execution skills to drive QA automation in a hands-on and independent manner.

We believe it is now the right time to start investing in QA automation. We launched a year ago and up until now, we have primarily relied on manual testing. You would lead prioritization, execution, continuous improvement and further hiring in the team. You would be employee number one focussing on QA automation. More details on responsibilities below:

QA Automation - You will have complete ownership over the preparation of the test automation solution, alongside leading the design of the automation framework.

Continuous Improvement - In order to implement your automation strategy, testing plans and overall execution of the automation plan. You will also seek to continuously monitor and improve your script.

Technical excellence - You will play a key role in adopting the right tools and frameworks for QA, ensuring sound execution and continuously identifying new and better ways to automate QA.

Skill Development - Driving the entire QA team (including manual testers), to follow the right processes, collaborate and execute with discipline, and ultimately make quality a competitive advantage for Alaan.

More detailed requisites…

You speak the language - You have created Automation Frameworks for Web applications and backend, having setup these automations from scratch. And you have done this by implementing automation test cases using Cypress (Javascript).

Knowledge about the QA process - You understand the function and different levels, types and methods of testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance, functional, regression and performance, black, grey and white box.

You’re a go-getter - Alaan will give you the flexibility to experiment, and will NEVER micro-manage. However, we will expect extreme levels of ownership to be displayed.

You understand that mundane tasks are part of the job - As much as the job is exciting, there will be times when you will have to get down and dirty and do tasks.

You have the vision to grow with the company - We are not looking for someone to join and work with a short-sighted vision. Every teammate at Alaan understands that we’re in this together for the long run.

You are energized by working cross-functionally with technical and commercial teams - Alaan is the region’s leading spend management product. To stay on top of our game, the product evolves continuously – we expect you to be interested in fintech products and be able to keep up with the change.
