Software Test Engineer Manual Testing, SIT/UAT & API Testing

Role:

• We are looking for a hands-on software test engineer to support the testing and delivery of a mission-critical government web application.
• You will work closely with developers, project managers, business users, technical teams, and external stakeholders to ensure system functionality, integration quality, and release readiness.

Responsibilities:

• Perform hands-on manual functional, regression, integration, SIT and UAT testing for web-based applications.
• Review requirements and independently create test scenarios, test cases, test data, expected results, and test evidence.
• Coordinate UAT activities with business users, including scheduling, execution, issue clarification, and follow-up.
• Identify, document, track, retest, and follow defects through resolution.
• Work closely with developers, system engineers, project managers, business users, and external technical parties to troubleshoot issues.
• Test integrations and interfaces with external systems using tools or approaches such as Postman, simulators, messaging/interface validation, and API request/response testing.
• Validate data flows and system behaviour across integrated applications.
• Maintain clear testing documentation, status reports, defect trackers, and execution records.
• Be comfortable working in environments where Excel/manual trackers may be used for test execution and defect management instead of dedicated testing tools.
• Support testing at customer or government agency locations when required.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum activities, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Support release and production-readiness activities during critical project periods.
• Contribute progressively to Playwright-based test automation as the team's automation capability develops.

Required Skills:

• Hands-on experience in manual software testing.
• Good understanding of functional, regression, SIT and UAT testing.
• Ability to create structured test scenarios and test cases independently.
• Experience managing the defect lifecycle from identification through retesting and closure.
• Experience working with both technical teams and business/end users.
• Basic practical exposure to API/interface testing, preferably using Postman or similar tools.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Comfortable working with Excel for test tracking, reporting, and basic data analysis.
• Able to work independently in a structured, process-driven environment.
• Comfortable supporting onsite testing at client/government locations when required.
