Senior Quality Assurance Engineer (Manual and Automation)

Company: Scan Tech General Trading LLC

Project: EGARAGI, automotive marketplace platform (web, iOS, Android, admin and vendor panels, APIs)

Location: Dubai, UAE. On-site.

Employment Type: Full-Time

Language: English (professional working proficiency) required. Arabic preferred.

About the Role

Scan Tech General Trading LLC is hiring a QA Engineer to own quality across the EGARAGI platform, covering web, iOS, Android, admin panel, vendor panel, and APIs.

The role requires technical understanding of how the platform is built, the ability to investigate the cause of a defect before reporting it, and the ability to document defects in a form that developers can act on directly.

Requirements for the Role

● Technical knowledge of web fundamentals: URLs and query parameters, HTTP methods and status codes, request and response headers, cookies and tokens, caching, and the distinction between frontend, backend, and data defects.

● Ability to investigate defects using browser developer tools, device logs, and API responses before reporting.

● Test design skills covering edge cases, boundary values, role and permission combinations, invalid input, interrupted flows, and weak or offline network conditions.

● Precise defect reporting, including steps to reproduce, environment, build number, expected and actual behavior, severity, priority, screenshots or recordings, logs, and the relevant API request and response.

● Ability to evaluate design quality. The role does not require producing designs, but requires identifying inconsistent spacing, broken alignment, unclear hierarchy, mismatched components, missing empty, loading, and error states, low contrast, small tap targets, and layout breakage at specific breakpoints, and explaining what should be improved.

● Ability to assess release readiness and support that assessment with evidence.

Key Responsibilities
