Job Description

QA Engineer / SDET – Intelligent Warehouse Systems

Experience: 3–5 Years

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on QA Engineer / SDET with strong exposure to warehouse and fulfillment systems. The ideal candidate should understand real-world warehouse operations and be capable of applying that knowledge to automation, regression testing, and validation of intelligent decision-driven systems.

The platform under test manages warehouse workflows, inventory movement, and autonomous operational decision-making. Since these systems directly impact physical warehouse operations, quality, reliability, and regression safety are mission-critical.

This role requires mandatory experience in warehouse systems, strong Python automation expertise, hands-on Playwright experience, and proven ownership of regression testing for complex operational workflows.

Key Responsibilities

1. Regression Testing Ownership

• Own and maintain end-to-end regression suites for warehouse-critical workflows.
• Identify and safeguard business-critical warehouse flows, including: Order lifecycle management
• Inventory state transitions
• Task creation, assignment, and completion
• Ensure regression coverage detects: Workflow failures
• Decision-logic side effects
• Downstream operational impacts
• Build and maintain stable, CI/CD-ready regression suites.

2. Warehouse Workflow Validation

• Validate real-world warehouse processes such as: Inbound → Putaway → Replenishment
• Picking → Packing → Shipping
• Returns and exception handling
• Verify accuracy of: Inventory movement
• Order and task state transitions
• Workflow sequencing
• Execute tests under realistic warehouse conditions, including: Order spikes and peak loads
• Partial task failures
• Capacity and resource constraints

3. Testing Agentic / Decision-Driven Systems

• Test intelligent systems that autonomously make and execute operational decisions, including: Order prioritization
• Task assignment and reassignment
• Inventory movement and dynamic re-planning
• Validate that system decisions: Respect warehouse constraints
• Remain consistent and predictable
• Recover safely from execution failures
• Design scenario-based test cases focused on: Decision changes
• State transitions
• Fallback and recovery behavior
• Treat decision-making logic as regression-critical functionality.

4. Python-Based Automation

• Develop scalable and maintainable automation frameworks using Python.
• Automate: Backend APIs
• Core warehouse workflows
• Decision-driven scenarios and regressions
• Build reusable utilities for: Test data setup
• State validation
• End-to-end scenario verification
• Convert high-impact manual test cases into long-term automated coverage.

5. UI Automation with Playwright

• Use Playwright to automate critical operational UI workflows, including: Order operations
• Inventory dashboards
• Warehouse control screens
• Include UI automation in regression suites for: High-risk operator actions
• Critical operational visibility
• Ensure UI reflects accurate backend and warehouse states.
• Develop stable, reliable, and non-flaky Playwright automation suites.

6. Integration & Data Validation

• Validate consistency across: UI
• APIs
• Database state
• Test asynchronous and event-driven system behavior.
• Investigate and debug issues using: Logs
• API traces
• SQL queries
• Report defects with clear warehouse and operational impact analysis.

Required Skills & Experience

Mandatory Skills

• 3–5 years of experience in QA / SDET roles
• Hands-on experience with warehouse systems such as WMS, WES, OMS, fulfillment, or logistics platforms
• Strong understanding of warehouse workflows and operational constraints
• Experience testing agentic or decision-driven systems where the platform: Autonomously selects actions
• Sequences tasks
• Adapts to changing operational conditions
• Strong hands-on programming experience in Python
• Solid experience with Playwright for UI automation
• Proven ownership of regression testing and automation strategy
• Strong analytical ability to reason about workflows, state transitions, and failure scenarios in warehouse environments

Good to Have

• Experience with distributed and event-driven systems
• Exposure to robotics, warehouse automation, or industrial systems
• Experience debugging multi-service production environments
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern automation practices

Preferred Candidate Profile

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Ability to work in fast-paced operational environments
• Strong ownership mindset and attention to detail
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills
• Passion for building reliable and scalable quality engineering practices
