Senior Software Engineer

This role focuses on Quality Engineering across an agile POD, coordinating test delivery end-to-end and ensuring releases are ready to go live. You’ll use extensive automation experience to optimise test activities and strengthen how testing is embedded across the development lifecycle. Working closely with stakeholders across the POD and cross-POD teams you’ll manage dependencies and provide a clear point of accountability for testing. The work spans both development and support phases and covers a wide range of test types including API, UI (browser and mobile), security, performance and accessibility. Success means well‑structured, maintainable and fully tested systems delivered to agreed timelines and quality standards. You’ll also shape continuous improvement across the Quality Engineering discipline.

What you’ll be doing

• Implement a full range of test activities including BDD, API, UI (browser and mobile), performance, security, exploratory and accessibility testing in line with the Global Test Strategy
• Manage POD test deliverables across the agile development lifecycle to embed the new way of working
• Coordinate testing dependencies and touchpoints across POD and cross-POD teams to keep delivery on track
• Represent Quality Engineering in Scrum ceremonies and key project meetings and act as the escalation point for testing within the POD
• Build effective working relationships with stakeholders and provide clear updates on quality status and risks
• Advise the Product Owner and project stakeholders on product readiness for go‑live decisions
• Improve Quality Engineering processes by contributing ideas and changes that strengthen outcomes and consistency
• Resolve delivery blockers by proposing practical workarounds and closing gaps through measurable improvements and value addition

What we’re looking for

• Bring experience building and enhancing automation frameworks
• Demonstrate strong Quality Engineering and test management capability across delivery and support
• Apply hands‑on experience with Appium, Java and Selenium
• Use knowledge of Retail Banking requirements to identify key use cases and edge scenarios for mobile banking
• Apply working experience in Agile methodology or SAFe including in‑sprint automation
• Use practical experience with BDD approaches including Cucumber, Gherkin and related tooling
• Work confidently with REST APIs and supporting technologies such as HTTP, JSON and tools like REST Assured or Karate plus Maven or Gradle and JUnit or TestNG
• Use toolchain experience with JIRA, Jenkins (CI/CD exposure) and Confluence to support delivery
• Apply a basic understanding of performance testing and cyber security quality engineering
• Use experience with BrowserStack or other cloud‑based device farms plus familiarity with AI coding assistants

Build quality into every release

If you want to shape how quality is engineered across modern mobile and API journeys this role offers real scope to make an impact. You’ll work closely with product and delivery partners to keep releases moving while improving automation and test effectiveness. The role is hands‑on and varied with the chance to influence how teams work as well as what they ship.

You’ll achieve more when you join HSBC.
