Job summary

MARVES CONSULTING PTE. LTD. in Singapore seeks a QA Automation Engineer to design, build, and own automated test suites spanning UI, API and regression layers, and embed them into CI/CD pipelines for rapid feedback.

You will combine hands-on framework engineering with robust functional testing in a regulated banking environment, working across Jira/Xray and SQL-backed data validation.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a QA Automation Engineer within Agile/Scrum delivery teams.
• Strong hands-on expertise with a modern automation framework such as Playwright, Selenium or Cypress.
• Sound programming ability in at least one of Java, Python, TypeScript or JavaScript, sufficient to build and refactor framework code.
• Hands-on experience automating REST API tests using tools such as Postman, REST Assured or equivalent libraries.
• Practical experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps), with Git as the version control system.
• Good SQL skills for test data preparation and back-end validation of results.
• Working knowledge of Jira; Xray or comparable test management tooling is an advantage.
• Domain knowledge in banking, wealth management or financial services is a strong advantage.
• ISTQB certification and exposure to performance testing (JMeter, k6) are desirable

Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain automated test suites across UI, API and regression layers for business-critical applications
• Own a maintainable automation framework, applying sound engineering practice: version control, code review, and reusable page objects and fixtures
• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines so that every build is gated by an automated quality check
• Automate service-layer validation of REST APIs, covering request and response contracts, error paths, and data integrity
• Identify the highest-value candidates for automation and maintain a pragmatic balance between automated and exploratory manual testing
• Investigate failures through structured root cause analysis, distinguishing genuine defects from environment, data or test fragility
• Keep the suite fast and trustworthy by actively eliminating flaky tests and managing test data
• Report coverage, pass rates and defect trends to stakeholders, making quality visible across the delivery lifecycle

Job description

Role Overview

Drive the automation of quality across our wealth management delivery teams in Singapore. As a QA with Automation you will design, build and own the automated test suites that run on every build - spanning UI, API and regression layers - and embed them into CI/CD pipelines so that defects surface within minutes rather than at the end of a test cycle. The role combines hands-on framework engineering with the analytical rigour of functional testing in a secure, regulated banking environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain automated test suites across UI, API and regression layers for business-critical applications
• Own a maintainable automation framework, applying sound engineering practice: version control, code review, and reusable page objects and fixtures
• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines so that every build is gated by an automated quality check
• Automate service-layer validation of REST APIs, covering request and response contracts, error paths, and data integrity
• Identify the highest-value candidates for automation and maintain a pragmatic balance between automated and exploratory manual testing
• Investigate failures through structured root cause analysis, distinguishing genuine defects from environment, data or test fragility
• Keep the suite fast and trustworthy by actively eliminating flaky tests and managing test data
• Report coverage, pass rates and defect trends to stakeholders, making quality visible across the delivery lifecycle

Professional Requirements

• Proven experience as a QA Automation Engineer within Agile/Scrum delivery teams
• Strong hands-on expertise with a modern automation framework such as Playwright, Selenium or Cypress
• Sound programming ability in at least one of Java, Python, TypeScript or JavaScript, sufficient to build and refactor framework code
• Hands-on experience automating REST API tests using tools such as Postman, REST Assured or equivalent libraries
• Practical experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps), with Git as the version control system
• Good SQL skills for test data preparation and back-end validation of results
• Working knowledge of Jira; Xray or comparable test management tooling is an advantage
• Domain knowledge in banking, wealth management or financial services is a strong advantage
• ISTQB certification and exposure to performance testing (JMeter, k6) are desirable

Personal Skills

• Engineering mindset applied to testing, with a genuine interest in building maintainable tooling rather than one-off scripts
• Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership over the quality of what the team ships
• Accurate, methodical and detail-oriented, without losing sight of delivery priorities
• Able to explain quality risks clearly to developers, product owners and business stakeholders
• Collaborative team player with a pragmatic, solution-focused approach
