Investigate, document, and report defects clearly, then verify fixes. Partner with developers to understand new features and spot potential issues early (a shift-left approach). Help keep our test suites and test environments healthy, stable, and trustworthy. Use AI-assisted tools (such as GitHub Copilot or Claude) to write, accelerate, and maintain automated tests as a regular part of your workflow. REQUIRED SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES 2+ years of experience in software testing & test automation. Good understanding of software testing concepts (test cases, test types, and the testing lifecycle). Understanding of CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins Familiarity with at least one automation framework (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium). Foundational programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python. Comfort using Git for version control as part of a team. Strong problem-solving instincts and clear, collaborative communication. Comfortable using AI coding assistants or other AI tools to enable and accelerate automation across different types of testing. ASSETS Hands-on experience with Playwright, including its MCP or CLI. Familiarity with API testing tools (e.g., Postman) or performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, k6). Awareness of secure coding practices or security testing. Past working experience in Fintech or similar regulated organizations. This position requires English to collaborate with development teams, technology vendors, and stakeholders located outside Quebec. The incumbent must also review technical documentation, use development and automation tools, and work with software platforms and AI technologies that operate primarily in English.
