Senior Software Engineer in Quality Engineering

Role Overview

As a Software Quality Engineer, you are a technical leader responsible for the architectural design and long‑term vision of our automated testing ecosystem. You will move beyond execution to focus on the scalability, reliability, and integration of quality systems into the CI/CD pipeline. You will serve as a bridge between Engineering, Product, and Dev Ops, ensuring that quality is not a bottleneck but a high‑speed enabler of continuous delivery.

• Use AI to write test automation and work with the team on drafting requirements, prioritizing, implementing, and reviewing QE automation tools.
• Work with dev teams to update and manage the end‑to‑end test harness. Candidate needs to be familiar with Playwright as well as other automation frameworks, and should be able to identify customer use cases and test conditions based on requirements and specifications.
• Build system testing harnesses, infrastructure, and test cases to ensure quality is engineered into the product from the beginning, and help move testing left.
• Collaborate with Product Development, Product Management, Quality Engineering, Load & Performance, UX experts, and Operations teams to develop innovative testing solutions that align with market needs in terms of functionality, performance, scalability, reliability, realistic implementation schedules, and alignment with testing goals and principles.
• Understand the features of the system for each release, help define what test cases can be automated, and look for opportunities to extend the automation framework in meaningful ways.
• Help maintain current automation frameworks.
• Identify process and technology challenges and deficiencies and participate in driving those changes to successful adoption.
• Implement and adopt all relevant workflows using Gen AI tools.
• Proactively identify and resolve resource conflicts and set priorities for parallel projects.
• Identify project risks and provide alternatives for reducing risks.
• Report, track, and re‑test defects, define features and end‑to‑end test plans, and produce system test reports.
• Analyze incoming customer‑found defects post‑production and provide necessary support including developing new test cases and completing automation for the validation of fixes.

• Education and Experience:
  
  MS/BS degree and/or 7+ years of experience in software testing with at least 5 years focused on automation architecture.
• Technical Stack:
  Proficiency in languages such as Java, Python, or Type Script and deep expertise with tools like Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or Appium.
• API Testing:
  Expert knowledge of RESTful API testing (Postman, Rest Assured, or similar).
• Cloud & Dev Ops:
  Strong experience with AWS/Azure/GCP and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Browser Testing:
  Web application testing experience, including system and performance testing, functional and cross‑browser testing.
• Dev Systems:
  Experience with Jenkins framework configuration and maintenance.
• Familiar with using Claude and other LLMs for development work. Able to generate, review and maintain code using Large Language Models.
• Soft Skills:
  
  Proven ability to influence technical decision‑making without direct authority and a relentless focus on the end‑user experience.
