Lead Test Analyst

About the Role

Cyber City in Gurugram's DLF Phase 2 has a Lead Test Analyst opening, full time, on site, with a QA team responsible for product quality across multiple releases. Eleven years of experience is the expectation, and this lead role carries genuine authority over test strategy, not just individual test execution.

A Day in This Job

The work covers designing and executing test cases, identifying and reporting software defects, verifying fixes before release, and collaborating with developers to improve product quality. A lead analyst here sets testing strategy for a release, deciding what depth of coverage a given feature actually warrants given the timeline.

What You'll Be Doing

• Set test strategy and coverage priorities for each release
• Design and review test cases across the QA team
• Identify and report software defects
• Mentor other test analysts on the team

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with an ISTQB or equivalent testing certification and proven hands-on experience with test case design, defect tracking, and automation tooling. Eleven years is a genuinely senior bar for a testing role.

Skills That Matter

• Test case design at a strategic level
• Defect tracking
• Requirements analysis
• Genuine attention to detail

Good to Have

Experience setting testing strategy for a genuinely large, complex product, familiarity with automation frameworks even if your own focus is manual testing, and any background where a testing decision to skip certain coverage turned out wrong, and what changed afterward.

Why This Role

Cyber City in DLF Phase 2 is one of Gurugram's most established business districts, and this product releases on a regular cadence that leaves little room for testing strategy mistakes. Naukri Mitra has listed a few QA roles from this employer, and lead analysts who've joined recently describe the strategic decision-making, choosing what to test deeply versus what to test lightly under real time constraints, as the hardest and most valuable skill this role develops.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a scenario round on prioritizing test coverage under a tight timeline and a discussion of a past testing decision you'd make differently. Candidates who honestly critique their own past judgment calls tend to interview well.

Benefits

• Health insurance covering the employee and immediate family
• Paid time off
• Performance-linked bonuses
• On-site cafeteria facilities and cab or commute support
