About the Role
As a Senior QA Engineer, you will play a hands-on role in engineering quality into complex digital products across web, mobile, API, and backend systems. You will combine strong software engineering and test automation skills with modern AI-assisted development and testing practices to help teams deliver reliable, secure, and high-quality software.
You will design and maintain automated tests, identify risks early, integrate quality checks into CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate closely with developers, product managers, designers, and QA leaders throughout the software development lifecycle.
You will also explore and apply AI-enabled engineering techniques to improve test design, automation development, test-data generation, debugging, and failure analysis. As a senior member of the QA team, you are comfortable driving quality across the entire software development lifecycle, championing best practices, and guiding junior and intermediate team members.
Our engineering teams work in smaller groups based on project size, collaborating closely with project management, design, and technology leadership. We strive to create a work environment that encourages innovation, teamwork, career advancement, and personal fulfillment.
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, maintain, and improve automated test solutions across web, mobile, API, integration, and backend systems.
- Write clean, maintainable, reusable automation code and contribute to framework design, code reviews, and engineering standards.
- Develop risk-based test strategies, test scenarios, and test suites that cover functional behaviour, integration, regression, performance, and accessibility.
- Apply AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate test creation, analyze requirements, generate test-data candidates, investigate failures, and improve automation — validating results before adopting them.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and help optimize execution speed, reliability, diagnostics, and feedback to development teams.
- Test APIs, services, and data flows, including negative scenarios, boundary conditions, error handling, and integration failures.
