Role Summary:

As a Senior Quality Engineer, you will design, build and implement test automation to ensure quality delivery in support of value-add technology solutions and products. You will proactively develop and improve quality engineering processes within your team, and handle audits and inspections, working closely with other departments to ensure that quality is maintained throughout the product lifecycle.

Accountabilities & Qualifications:

Accountabilities

• Build scalable automation solutions using Python and modern testing tools such as Playwright, with a focus on maintainable framework design, CI/CD integration, and reducing dependency on manual regression testing.
• Establish and promote quality engineering standards that reinforce shared engineering ownership of quality, partnering early with engineers and stakeholders to improve testability, identify risks, and ensure quality is built into delivery from the start.
• Review code and automation approaches to improve test quality, coverage, and engineering practices across the team through coaching, influencing, and constructive challenge while maintaining engineering accountability for feature validation.
• Drive a shift-left approach to software validation, guiding the team to apply automation themselves vs handing to “QA/QE” to automate.
• Participate in product design and development to ensure that quality is built in from the beginning.
• Monitor the effectiveness of test automation and drive improvements through insights gained via analysis at various stages of test automation to ensure stability, efficiency, and scalability.
• Define and execute test plans, test cases/scripts, identify defects, analyze test results and partner with developers to ensure that products or services meet quality standards.
• Adhere to Agile SDLC and execute related duties as required.
• Foster collaboration and mentorship promoting a culture of feedback, learning and professional growth
• Maintain strong relationships with business partners, peer IT teams and vendor partners.

Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree or college diploma in related field (e.g. Engineering, Computer Science).
• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong Python engineering capability, including experience designing and materially improving reusable automation frameworks, utilities, and test infrastructure using modern automation tools and libraries.
• Experience integrating automated validation into CI/CD pipelines and influencing engineering teams to adopt scalable quality engineering practices within Agile delivery environments.
• Experience with QE processes and methodologies, automated and manual test processes, test planning, test cases design, scripting, execution, automated test tools, regression testing.
• Experience writing clean, usable, and efficient code.
• Experience interacting and coordinating test activities amongst multiple teams and ability to handle multiple competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
