About The Company

Mindlance partners with organizations to connect skilled professionals with opportunities across technology and business. In this role, you will support software delivery for a Bank Institutional Services (IS) environment, contributing to dependable products and services for institutional customers. The work takes place in a regulated setting where quality, security, operational controls, and responsible risk management are essential. Mindlance values collaboration and an inclusive workplace culture, and seeks professionals who bring sound judgment, technical curiosity, and a commitment to high-quality outcomes.

About The Role

Mindlance is seeking a software test automation professional to help ensure the efficient delivery of high-quality software products. You will design, develop, and maintain automation solutions across user interface (UI), application programming interface (API), and performance testing. Working throughout the software development lifecycle, you will partner with engineering and product teams to understand architecture, requirements, and acceptance criteria, then translate them into practical test strategies. This role also contributes to continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), test data and environment planning, and ongoing improvements to test coverage and execution. You will help identify defects early, provide stakeholders with clear progress and coverage reporting, and support teammates by sharing technical knowledge. This position has no supervisory responsibilities.

Qualifications

Candidates should have professional experience in software quality assurance or test automation and the ability to create maintainable, scalable automated tests. A strong understanding of UI and API testing concepts, automation frameworks, software development practices, and CI/CD workflows is important. You should be comfortable collaborating with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to clarify requirements and define testable acceptance criteria. The successful candidate can review automation code, troubleshoot complex technical or operational issues, and communicate findings clearly through reports and discussions. Experience with performance, load, or security testing; test data strategy; environment management; automation metrics; and AI-assisted testing tools is valuable. Candidates should also demonstrate care in handling risk, regulatory expectations, internal controls, and confidential information, as applicable to the work.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain robust automation frameworks for UI, API, and performance testing. Define the test automation strategy, including suitable tools, scripting approaches, and architecture decisions. Evaluate testing technologies and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, coverage, and quality, including through responsible use of AI-assisted practices. Partner with development teams to understand system design and implementation, and engage with product owners during sprint planning and backlog grooming to interpret requirements and acceptance criteria. Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and support reliable execution throughout the development lifecycle. Review test scripts and code for quality, scalability, and maintainability. Develop test data and environment approaches that meet automation needs, and contribute to performance, security, and load testing strategies. Monitor automation metrics and key performance indicators, publish execution status and feature-level coverage reports, and communicate progress or risks to stakeholders. Resolve complex issues and act as a resource for less experienced colleagues. Follow company risk and regulatory standards, elevate issues when appropriate, and support internal control requirements, including timely resolution of applicable audit or regulatory findings. Perform other related duties as assigned.
