Job description

Job Description

The Automation Test Engineer (Quality Engineer) plays a key role in ensuring end-to-end quality throughout the software development lifecycle by embedding shift-left testing principles and championing test automation and non-functional testing practices. This role is responsible for validating requirements early in the discovery phase, developing automation frameworks across UI, API, and mobile layers to support high automation coverage, and implementing effective test data and environment strategies. The Automation Test Engineer (Quality Engineer) manages the defect lifecycle, performs root cause analysis, and delivers quality insights through key metrics such as Defect Leakage and MTTD/MTTR. The role also involves integrating performance and security testing into CI/CD pipelines, supporting QA efforts across project releases, and collaborating with teams to uphold Globe’s quality standards and continuous improvement culture.

CI/CD Integration

Contribute to the implementation of automated tests in CI/CD pipelines. Ensure quality gates are enforced for stable and reliable deployments.

Reporting and Metrics

Track and report key quality metrics (e.g., Defect Leakage, Mean Time to Detect [MTTD], Mean Time to Repair [MTTR]). Provide test progress updates and quality insights to stakeholders.

Collaboration and Communication

Work closely with developers, business analysts, product owners, and other stakeholders. Participate in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

Continuous Improvement

Identify opportunities to optimize testing processes and tools. Adopt best practices in quality engineering and stay current with emerging trends.

Compliance and Governance
