Position: Senior Testing Lead - Automation, Performance, Security & Functional QA
Location: Hyderabad ( 8 PM to 5 AM IST)
Work Type: Full-Time/Onsite
Experience: 8+ Years
PETADATA is looking for a highly experienced Senior Testing Lead with 8+ years of experience to own the overall quality strategy, build and scale test automation, and lead functional, performance, security, API, and data-validation testing for a data migration platform operating across cloud and on-premise environments.
Roles & Responsibilities Quality Strategy & Leadership
- Own and define the overall QA and testing strategy across functional, automation, performance, security, and data-integrity testing.
- Establish quality gates, release criteria, testing standards, metrics, and reporting.
- Identify and prioritize testing efforts based on business and technical risk, especially data-correctness risks.
- Build and manage the quality function with minimal supervision.
- Mentor developers and QA engineers and promote a quality-first engineering culture.
- Partner closely with Engineering, DevOps, Architecture, Security, and Implementation teams.
Test Automation
- Design and build test automation frameworks from scratch.
- Develop automated UI, API, integration, and regression testing solutions.
- Use tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, and REST/API automation frameworks.
- Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- Build scalable regression suites that improve release velocity and confidence.
- Use programming languages such as Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Java for automation.
Functional & Migration Testing
- Own end-to-end functional testing across supported CRM platforms and migration scenarios.
- Test standard and custom objects, relationships, transformations, mappings, and edge cases.
- Design test scenarios based on real-world customer data migration use cases.
- Validate migration correctness from source to destination.
- Test multi-tenant behavior, configuration, and tenant data isolation.
- Identify defects and ensure issues are properly investigated, resolved, and prevented from recurring.
Data Validation & Integrity - Build automated source-to-target data validation frameworks.
- Validate:
- Record counts
- Field-level accuracy
- Data mappings
- Relationships and associations
- Transformations
- Deduplication
- Overall data integrity
- Use SQL and programmatic validation techniques to verify migration results.
- Ensure migrated customer data remains complete, accurate, and consistent.
Performance Testing
- Design and execute load, stress, scalability, and performance testing.
- Test large data volumes and high numbers of concurrent migrations.
- Establish performance baselines, benchmarks, and SLAs.
- Identify performance bottlenecks and work with Engineering and Architecture teams to resolve them.
- Use tools such as k6, JMeter, Gatling, or Locust.
- Integrate appropriate performance testing into the CI/CD pipeline.
Security Testing
- Perform and coordinate security testing across the application and platform.
- Test tenant isolation and ensure no cross-tenant data access is possible.
- Validate authentication and authorization controls.
- Perform input validation and abuse-case testing.
- Integrate SAST, DAST, and vulnerability scanning into CI/CD.
- Coordinate penetration testing with internal security teams and external security vendors.
- Support security and compliance requirements such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 through appropriate testing evidence.
Technical Quality & Delivery
- Ensure software is secure, scalable, reliable, and production-ready.
- Establish automated quality checks throughout the development lifecycle.
- Collaborate with developers to identify defects early.
- Review testing approaches and improve overall engineering quality.
- Support both cloud and on-premise deployments.
- Help establish reliable test environments using cloud, containers, and infrastructure automation.
