Qualifications

  • Excellent communication and collaboration with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical, investigative, and problem-solving skills.
  • Solid understanding of Quality Engineering principles, including automation, risk-based testing, and defect prevention.
  • Experience working within Agile Scrum teams with Software Engineers and Product teams.
  • Practical experience designing, developing, and maintaining automated tests.
  • Proactive ownership, learning, innovation, and continuous improvement mindset.
  • Experience with WDIO or similar JS/TS UI automation frameworks.

  • Test data creation and reusable test data management approaches.
  • Automation reliability engineering, including flaky test resolution.
  • Logs and observability tools for defect investigation.

Responsibilities

  • Embed quality early in refinement, planning, design, and technical discussions to identify risks, edge cases, dependencies, and testability concerns.
  • Apply risk-based testing approaches to determine coverage based on customer impact, technical complexity, change scope, and product risk.
  • Identify and communicate quality risks early, including significant defects, coverage gaps, blockers, and emerging concerns.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to improve acceptance criteria, test stability, defect prevention, and overall engineering quality.
  • Provide clear quality evidence by communicating coverage, defects, outstanding risks, and confidence levels to support informed team and release decisions.
  • Build and maintain automated tests at the most appropriate engineering layer, contributing to API, customer journey/end-to-end, native mobile, and other relevant automation capabilities.
  • Maintain automation health by investigating failures and improving flaky, unreliable, redundant, or low-value automated tests.
  • Contribute to shared Quality Engineering capabilities by adopting and enhancing established approaches across customer journey/end-to-end automation, API automation, test data management, native mobile automation, and related disciplines.
  • Perform targeted exploratory testing to investigate complex behaviours, edge cases, and customer scenarios where human exploration provides additional value.
  • Use analytical and investigative techniques to understand issues, identify patterns, and support root cause analysis activities.
  • Work closely with engineering teams during defect investigation and resolution to ensure fast feedback and effective remediation.
  • Drive continuous improvement by developing your technical capabilities, sharing knowledge, and identifying opportunities to improve testing, automation, and engineering practices.
  • Support a culture of shared ownership, learning, experimentation, and quality-focused engineering.
  • Contribute to the evolution of quality engineering standards, tooling, and best practices across the wider organization.
