What We Need & The Impact You Will Have

Our Software Quality Assurance (QA) team needs to expand to accommodate growth in our business and we are looking for the right person as a Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer. In this role, you will be a part of our growing and talented engineering organization, reporting to the QA Manager. We are looking for someone who has created and/or implemented test automation frameworks and loves transitioning legacy technologies into modernized ones.

Your initial focus within this role will be implementing an automation framework utilizing our new tech stack – Playwright as the automation framework with automation scripts written in JavaScript. As our Engineering Team moves towards modernization, QA is aligned and moving away from our current (legacy) automation framework. You will be collaborating with both architects and developers to strategize, plan and execute implementation of the framework.

The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience building automation frameworks, accelerating usage of automation and transitioning to a CI/CD framework. This candidate should also have an ‘Own It’ attitude while bringing innovative solutions to problems and big picture thinking. You should be comfortable working across multiple application platforms (web and mobile) and be familiar with the software development lifecycle with an emphasis on quality, assessing risk and testing.

• Participate in your stream-aligned teams’ Agile ceremonies, working closely with development and product.
• Translate business and technical requirements to test requirements, utilizing test design patterns while prioritizing automated testing.
• Investigate and triage defects, ensuring Severity and Defect Category are set appropriately.
• Execute regression tests to make sure existing functionality works as expected prior to each deployment and release.
• Log defects in Jira, collaborate with developers to resolve defects, retest failed test scenarios, and close defects once remediated.
• Ensure all test and automation framework documents are kept up to date.
