We are currently hiring a Senior QA Automation Engineer based in our Head Office in Burnaby.

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer at BCAA, you will be responsible for ensuring the delivery of exceptional software quality through test automation and QA best practices. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and develop test strategies, test plans, and automated test scripts that ensure robust functional, regression, performance, and load testing. Your expertise in test automation frameworks will be critical in expanding automated test coverage for complex systems while enhancing the overall user experience from both agent and customer perspectives.

You will also mentor junior team members, collaborate with external vendors, and troubleshoot testing environment issues. This role is ideal for someone passionate about test automation and committed to driving continuous improvement in QA processes and tools.

Who you are :

You are skilled in designing, developing, and maintaining scalable automated test frameworks using Java, Selenium, and TestNG.

You are experienced in writing end-to-end automated test cases for web applications and integrating them into the CI / CD pipeline on Azure DevOps.

You excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments and can manage multiple tasks while staying organized and detail-oriented.

You are an effective communicator, able to translate technical concepts into clear instructions for non-technical users.

You work well both independently and as part of a team, taking ownership of tasks and seeing them through to completion. You analyze test results, identify root causes of failures, and drive issues to resolution.

What you’ll do :

Design, develop, and maintain test automation frameworks to ensure comprehensive automated test coverage for functional, regression, performance, and load testing.

Analyze business requirements and use cases to estimate effort and develop test strategies that address both short-term and long-term testing needs.

Develop automated test scripts using programming or scripting languages, ensuring compatibility across various systems and environments.

Execute automated scripts for functional, regression, and performance testing, and troubleshoot issues encountered during test execution.

Mentor junior team members in QA practices, test automation, and software testing methodologies.

Collaborate with external vendors to ensure BCAA system-related needs are met within agreed timelines.

Recommend tools and technologies to optimize and expand test automation capabilities, focusing on the most common and business-critical workflows.

Perform manual testing when automated testing is not feasible or cost-effective, ensuring systems behave as expected.

Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents, working closely with IS and external vendors to ensure timely resolution.

What you bring :
