Job Description

• Work alongside AI agents as co-workers within our AI‑SDLC framework — using Anthropic Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and AWS Bedrock throughout design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance cycles
• Drive work from Jira tickets and Confluence documentation as the source of truth for requirements, decisions, and context
• Leverage deep domain and product knowledge to evaluate and challenge requirements — ensuring they are precise, complete, and structured for effective processing by both human engineers and AI agents
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, stand‑ups, retrospectives, and backlog refinement — to keep delivery on track and priorities aligned
• Surface and mitigate quality risks before they escal… proactively communicating test coverage gaps, flagging scope concerns during planning, and helping keep the team's quality commitments on track
• Own the test strategy and automation architecture with data quality as the primary focus — spanning ETL/ELT pipeline validation, source-to-target reconciliation, functional, end-to-end (Playwright), BDD, and performance (JMeter) layers
• Build and maintain robust Python-based test frameworks and BDD feature suites — including reusable SQL and pandas/PySpark assertion libraries for data comparison, profiling, and reconciliation — that align test coverage to biopharma business requirements
• Design and govern JMeter performance test plans covering both application and data layers — pipeline throughput, load-window adherence, and large-volume query response; analyse results and drive remediation with development teams
• Design data validation pipelines/complex SQL queries in PostgreSQL and Snowflake
• Serve as the go‑to QA engineer for the harder test challenges — the person the team relies on when complexity, regulatory risk, or system ambiguity is highest
• Produce clear test strategy documents, defect trend analyses, and quality reports that inform team and stakeholder decisions; communicate quality status and risk effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Incorporate pharma manufacturer client needs and regulatory requirements into test coverage decisions; participate actively in incident responses and quality reviews that have direct client impact
• Apply strong analytical and problem‑solving skills to diagnose complex test failures — anticipating system failure modes and designing test coverage for them proactively rather than reactively; evaluate quality trade‑offs and drive decisions with appropriate rigour
• Demonstrate full accountability for your own work and the team's quality output — holding yourself answerable to team‑level quality outcomes, not just individual test deliverables; proactively managing risks, communicating progress, and owning quality end‑to‑end
• Lift the overall quality output of the team — through proactive test design collaboration, knowledge sharing, unblocking, and consistently raising the bar on what the team ships
• Stay current with the team's evolving test toolset — including AI‑augmented testing practices, Playwright updates, BDD patterns, and biopharma regulatory developments — and actively bring relevant updates into team practices
• Partner effectively across backend developers, UI/UX developers, product analysts, and domain stakeholders — communicating clearly within a geographically distributed team
• Mentor junior QA engineers and champion quality best practices across the team
• Evaluate and integrate AI‑powered testing tools into the QA workflow

Qualifications

• Hands‑on professional QA engineering experience at a senior level, with a strong automation focus - 5+ years of strong expertise in Test requirement understanding, test data, test plan & test case designing. Develop detailed test cases and test data to ensure business functionality is thoroughly tested – Automation & Manual.
• Expert Python testing skills — pytest, test framework design, fixtures, and reporting
• Strong hands‑on experience with Playwright in production test suites - 3+ years of test automation – UI and API testing – Creating, execution and maintenance of automated test cases with Selenium web-driver (v3+)/playwright and Postman/ Python requests, with programming experience in Python (MUST)
• Deep BDD expertise — framework design, Gherkin authoring, step library architecture, living documentation
• Strong expertise in database SQL queries (MUST) – complex joins, aggregations, window functions, data validation and reconciliation – with hands‑on experience on Snowflake and other databases such as Postgres/ MySQL/ RDS
• JMeter experience — test plan design, distributed execution, and results analysis (Good to have)
• Hands‑on experience working in an AI‑augmented or agentic development/testing environment (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot, AWS Bedrock, or equivalent)
• Solid experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment, including sprint planning and iterative delivery
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a track record of owning quality outcomes end‑to‑end — accountable to team‑level quality outcomes, not just individual deliverables
• Influences technical decisions on the team through well‑supported proposals and demonstrated expertise; beginning to shape team practices through example and mentorship
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills within a geographically distributed, cross‑functional team
