This is a remote position.
Shuru is an AI-native engineering services company building products with leading startups, enterprises, and well-funded scale-ups across India, Southeast Asia, the UAE, and global markets. Our engineers work in small, dedicated squads, ship in weekly cycles, and use AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as a standard part of how we build. We hire for fundamentals, give engineers real ownership, and back them with a culture that respects deep work.
We are looking for a hands-on QA Lead who can take ownership of product quality across backend services, web, and mobile applications. The role requires strong backend/API automation expertise, solid QA leadership, and the ability to communicate confidently with clients and engineering teams. A key focus of this role will be improving QA efficiency through AI-assisted and AI-driven automation. We are looking for practical experience applying AI within real QA workflows.
