At Heads Up For Tails, we believe pets are family and family deserves only the best. 

16 years ago, we embarked on a journey to help families raise healthier and happier pets. Today our home-grown business has rapidly grown to become India's first and most trusted pet care brand with a strong community of over a million pet parents. As pet parents ourselves, we want to help every pet parent and their pet meet all their needs through our innovative products and services.  We make your pet parenting journey easier with our 100+ stores and over 70 spas that span across 18 cities. And through our strong online presence on our website and major marketplaces. 

Our products are thoughtfully designed and curated to suit the different needs of every pet. Our team of pet experts have created 5000+ pet products and 100+ India-first pet products and continue to strive towards innovation. We have been awarded with Most Admired D2C Brand of the Year - Leisure (2022) at India D2C Summit Awards, Most Promising Pet Brand of the Year (2021) at Indian Pet Industry Award, Brand Of The Year 4 times at Animalis Edition World Branding Awards and more over the years. But we believe our true reward are the 1 million+ trusted customers we have partnered with throughout their pet parenting journey. 

At HUFT, we envision a more compassionate world for animals. This thought marked the beginning of the Heads Up For Tails Foundation. Our grassroots initiatives such as feeding drives, adoption and reflective collar drives are a small effort towards leaving the world a little bit kinder than we found it. Today, Heads Up For Tails Foundation is an ever-growing community promoting awareness on animal care and supporting welfare initiatives.

Your primary mission is to build, scale, and maintain robust test automation frameworks for&nbsp;our consumer web storefronts, mobile applications, and backend systems.&nbsp;While your foundation must be rooted in traditional, high-rigor automation, you must also be a&nbsp;forward-thinking engineer. As we increasingly integrate AI into our products and workflows, you will be&nbsp;expected to learn, adopt, and eventually champion Agentic AI tools, both to accelerate your own QA&nbsp;processes and to validate our upcoming GenAI features.
What You Will Do Core Test Automation (The Primary Focus): • Framework Architecture: Build and scale highly maintainable automated testing frameworks from scratch&nbsp;for Web and Mobile (including Flutter or native apps) using modern tools like Playwright, Cypress, or&nbsp;Appium. • API &amp; Backend Validation: Conduct rigorous backend testing for high-throughput REST/GraphQL APIs.&nbsp;Ensure data integrity across distributed systems, payment gateways, and backend operational platforms&nbsp;(such as ERPs). • Omnichannel E2E Testing: Design comprehensive test suites that validate complex user journeys from&nbsp;the frontend consumer touchpoint all the way through to backend order fulfillment and inventory systems. • CI/CD Integration: Embed automated test suites into cloud deployment pipelines (e.g., AWS, GitHub&nbsp;Actions) to act as reliable gatekeepers for zero-downtime releases.&nbsp;AI Integration &amp; Future Readiness • AI-Assisted QA: Actively explore and integrate AI coding agents (like Cursor or Copilot) to accelerate test&nbsp;script generation, automate edge-case discovery, and build self-healing tests. • GenAI Feature Testing: Partner with the engineering team to design testing strategies for upcoming&nbsp;AI-driven features (such as automated customer support chatbots or internal AI assistants), moving&nbsp;beyond strict binary assertions to evaluate probabilistic outcomes.
What We Are Looking For (Must-Haves) • Experience: 4–5 years of proven, hands-on experience as an SDET or Automation QA Engineer in a&nbsp;fast-paced environment. • Programming Proficiency: Strong coding fundamentals in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or Java. • Tooling Expertise: Deep practical knowledge of UI automation (Playwright/Cypress) and Mobile&nbsp;automation (Appium). • API Testing: Extensive experience using Postman, RestAssured, or custom scripts to validate complex&nbsp;API architectures and database state changes. • Adaptability: A strong willingness and readiness to learn GenAI concepts, LLM architectures, and how to&nbsp;test non-deterministic AI systems.
Nice to Have • GenAI / Agentic AI Testing: Prior exposure to GenAI or Agentic AI testing (e.g., prompt validation,&nbsp;evaluating RAG pipelines, or testing AI tool-calling). • Domain Experience: Domain experience in E-commerce, Retail Tech, or omnichannel supply chainsystems. • Cloud &amp; Containers: Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and containerization (AWS, Docker)
