About the role

• The Senior QA Engineer is an experienced individual contributor responsible for independently ensuring the quality, reliability, and usability of the Firm's custom, enterprise-scale software solutions.
• This role partners closely with delivery teams to plan, execute, and evolve testing approaches across features and applications, with an increased emphasis on automation, risk assessment, and quality advocacy.
• The position represents a fully independent QA professional who exercises sound judgment, influences delivery outcomes, and supports the development of less experienced QA team members.

Technical Environment & Delivery Context

• Quality Assurance team members operate within cross-functional delivery teams, often aligned to DevOps-based practices, supporting custom, enterprise-scale applications used across the Firm.
• These solutions primarily consist of modern, web-based platforms built on Microsoft technologies, along with integrated systems that require thorough functional, integration, performance, and regression testing.
• The QA function emphasizes a balanced approach to manual and automated testing, with a strong focus on shifting left to build quality into the delivery lifecycle. Team members collaborate closely with Product Owners, SoftwareEngineers, DevOps Engineers, Database experts, and other stakeholders throughout the secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC).
• Project management and documentation tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, Smartsheet, Confluence, and SharePoint are leveraged to support planning, execution, and communication.
• Automated testing is a core component of the Firm's software quality strategy.
• QA team members leverage automated testing tools such as Playwright, Rapise, and Opkey, along with test management tools such as Spira, to design, execute, and maintain reliable test suites.
• Testing activities are integrated into delivery practices and, where applicable, CI/CD pipelines to support timely and predictable releases.
• The blameless culture we are striving for values continuous improvement, pragmatic risk-based testing, clear communication of quality insights, and ongoing development of both technical and domain expertise.

Responsibilities

Team Contribution & Collaboration

• Communicate testing progress, risks, and quality insights clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Quality Assurance & Testing

• Plan and execute end-to-end testing for assigned features, components, or applications.
• Design, maintain, and evolve manual and automated test cases and test suites aligned with delivery priorities.
• Independently execute and analyze automated test results, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Perform functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing to assess quality and risk.
• Identify, document, prioritize, and communicate defects and quality concerns using established defect-tracking tools.
• Contribute to test strategy discussions and provide recommendations to improve test coverage and efficiency.

Automation & Tooling

• Actively contribute to the development and maintenance of automated test suites using Firm-standard tools.
• Collaborate with other QA team members and Software Engineers to improve automation reliability and maintainability.
• Apply automation best practices and promote consistent testing approaches across delivery teams.
