• Validate omni‑channel workflows such as BOPIS, BORIS, Endless Aisle, and Membership across eCommerce and in‑store systems.
• Analyze defects, investigate root causes, and contribute to release readiness decisions by clearly communicating quality risks, test results, and open issues.
• Participate in agile ceremonies and continuous improvement efforts within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment.
• Coordinate with Quality Engineers across approximately 15 scrum teams to promote consistent test coverage, shared standards, and effective quality practices across eCommerce and retail platforms.
• Serve as an AI testing advocate by evaluating practical AI tools and techniques that improve test design, automation maintainability, diagnostics, and exploratory testing effectiveness.

Required Qualifications:

• 1+ years of experience in software quality engineering or test automation, preferably within agile product teams.
• Experience within an Ecommerce environment
• Hands‑on experience applying AI‑assisted testing tools or techniques to test design, automation, exploratory testing, diagnostics, or test maintenance.
• Experience with Selenium
• Strong understanding of functional, integration, regression, and end‑to‑end testing for web applications.
• Ability to analyze defects, communicate quality risks, and support release readiness decisions.
• Ability to collaborate across multiple scrum teams and domains within a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) environment.
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive, quality‑first mindset.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience using GitHub Copilot or similar AI coding assistants to accelerate test development and improve maintainability.
• Experience testing omni‑channel retail or eCommerce workflows, including customer‑facing and store‑associate‑facing systems.
• Experience helping teams adopt new testing practices, tools, or automation standards across multiple product teams.
