A Selenium Automation Tester position has opened up at our Thaltej office on SG Highway in Ahmedabad. It's a full-time, on-site role paying ₹71,000 a month, working within our QA and testing group. The team supports two products currently in active development, so the testing scope shifts depending on which one has an upcoming release.
Day-to-day work
- Design and write test cases covering both new features and existing functionality that needs regression coverage
- Build and maintain Selenium automation scripts, structured around a proper test framework rather than one-off scripts scattered across the codebase, and organized in a way that makes it obvious to a teammate which suite covers which part of the product
- Run automated suites against each build, then dig into failures to separate a genuine defect from a flaky test or an environment issue
- Log defects with enough detail that a developer can reproduce the issue without needing a follow-up call, including the exact steps taken, the environment it happened in, and what was expected versus what actually occurred
- Re-verify fixes before release and flag anything that seems only partially resolved
- Work directly with the development team during sprint planning to weigh in on what's testable and what might need a design change first, since catching a testability problem early is a lot cheaper than discovering it two days before a release
Cross-browser testing comes up often enough that it's worth mentioning on its own. A script that runs cleanly on Chrome can behave differently on Firefox or Edge, and part of the job is catching that gap before a customer does. Mobile browser rendering gets checked less frequently, but it's still part of the rotation whenever a release touches anything customer-facing.
Education and experience
This role calls for a bachelor's degree at minimum, and while a computing-related field is common among applicants, we look closely at practical testing experience regardless of the degree. What matters more is demonstrated, hands-on work designing test cases, tracking defects through to resolution, and actually building automation rather than just running someone else's scripts. Completing a degree program is one thing; explaining to a developer why a test that passed yesterday is failing today is a different skill entirely, and it's closer to what this job involves day-to-day.
We're looking for three years of experience in this space. Someone at that stage has usually moved past writing individual test scripts and started thinking about test coverage as a whole, which tests are worth automating versus which ones are faster to check manually, and where the existing suite has gaps nobody's gotten around to filling. That shift in thinking tends to happen gradually rather than at a specific milestone, but three years is generally enough time for it to take hold.
Skills
Selenium is the core tool here, paired with either Java or Python depending on which the candidate is stronger in. Beyond the tool itself, real experience working inside an established test framework matters, along with solid defect-tracking habits, since a messy bug tracker slows the whole team down. We're not fussed about which of the two languages you bring, since the underlying logic transfers either way once someone's actually built something with it.
Familiarity with TestNG or pytest would help depending on the language track, and any exposure to Jenkins or a similar CI tool for running automated suites is a genuine plus. Basic API testing skills, using something like Postman or RestAssured, would round things out nicely, though we don't expect every candidate to arrive with that already in hand. We assume Git experience at this point rather than calling it out separately, since it's hard to work on any shared codebase without it.
Team and pace
Naukri Mitra has posted several QA roles across Ahmedabad this quarter, and this one sits within a team of four testers supporting two active product lines. New hires typically shadow an existing tester for the first couple of weeks before taking independent ownership of a specific module. Sprint cycles run on a two-week rhythm, and the last two or three days before a release tend to be the busiest stretch, with regression testing and final sign-offs happening in a fairly compressed window. Outside of that window, the pace evens out, and there's usually time to go back and clean up parts of the automation suite that were rushed during an earlier crunch.
Compensation and benefits
This role includes the following in addition to base pay.
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Provident fund contributions
- On-site cafeteria facilities
- Cab or commute support
The commute support is worth noting given the SG Highway location, since traffic along that stretch during peak hours can add a meaningful chunk of time to a daily drive. The cafeteria runs through lunch and covers the standard vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, which sounds minor until you're the one figuring out lunch on a busy testing day.
Location
The role is based on-site in Thaltej, along SG Highway, Ahmedabad, and doesn't include a remote or hybrid option. If you're scanning Selenium automation tester job openings in Ahmedabad, especially around the Thaltej stretch, this one's within that corridor rather than the older parts of the city. Salary here is in line with what similar QA automation roles in Ahmedabad are currently paying per month. Thaltej itself has grown into a fairly established commercial stretch, so there's no shortage of food and transit options nearby outside of work hours either.
How to apply
Submit your application along with a brief note on the kind of automation framework you've worked in before, whether that's something built in-house or a more standard setup. Shortlisted candidates will go through a technical round involving a short automation exercise, followed by a discussion covering past defect logs and how you've prioritized testing work under a tight release schedule. We generally get back to candidates within a week of that second conversation, either way.
