Raffles Place in Singapore has an Associate Manual Testing Engineer opening, full time, on site, with a QA team supporting a regional product organization. One year of hands-on experience is the expectation, enough to have already worked through a real release cycle and understood how manual testing fits into a broader quality process rather than being an isolated checklist exercise.
The work covers designing and executing test cases, identifying and reporting software defects, verifying fixes before release, and collaborating with developers to improve overall product quality. This is a manual testing role specifically, and the team is upfront that automation isn't the near-term expectation here; deep, careful manual coverage of edge cases that automated scripts often miss is exactly what this seat exists to provide.
Required skills are test case design, manual testing methodology, defect tracking, and real attention to detail, since the value of manual testing lives almost entirely in catching what an automated script wouldn't think to check. A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with hands-on experience with test case design, defect tracking, and automation tooling.
Raffles Place sits in the heart of Singapore's central business district, and the product organization here serves multiple markets across the region, which means test coverage sometimes needs to account for market-specific behavior, not just a single, uniform user base.
Naukri Mitra has listed a small number of QA roles from this Singapore employer, and associate testers who've joined recently describe the exploratory testing culture here as stronger than at other companies they'd tested for, with real time allocated specifically for unscripted testing sessions rather than every hour being tied to a predefined test case.
Interviews include a practical test case design exercise and a discussion about a defect that was genuinely tricky to pin down. Candidates who describe a methodical reproduction process tend to interview well.
Performance conversations here happen roughly twice a year, and for a Associate Manual Testing Engineer specifically, the focus tends to land more on judgment calls and how issues were handled than on raw output volume. A colleague who ships a lot but leaves messes for others to clean up tends to get flagged in review, even if their individual numbers look strong on paper.
Regression testing here still runs mostly by hand because the product changes shape often enough that maintaining an automated suite hasn't been worth the investment yet, which means a tester's mental model of the whole application, not just the feature under test, genuinely matters day to day.
The team here has grown from three testers to six over the past two years as the product organization itself has expanded, and most of that growth has come through promoting associates who first proved themselves on exactly this kind of role rather than through external senior hires.
Testers here rotate across product areas roughly every quarter, rather than staying fixed on one feature indefinitely, which the team has found keeps testing sharp since someone who's tested the same screens for a year tends to develop blind spots a fresh set of eyes wouldn't have.
The QA team runs a monthly bug bash where the whole team, including developers, spends a few hours testing the product together outside their usual assigned areas, a practice that's caught more than a few defects that regular assigned testing missed simply because fresh eyes were looking at unfamiliar parts of the product.
This role is based at Raffles Place, Singapore, postal code 048616, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to S$3,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
