ROLE PURPOSE

We are looking for a Quality Engineer to own and drive the overall Quality Engineering strategy, roadmap, automation, manual testing, quality metrics and continuous improvement across a 30-person engineering team. This is a hands-on role with strong ownership, requiring the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Quality Strategy & Ownership

• Define and drive the Quality Engineering strategy, roadmap and priorities across multiple initiatives.
• Establish quality standards, Definition of Done, quality gates and release-readiness criteria.
• Identify and proactively manage quality risks across parallel initiatives.
• Drive shift-left, risk-based testing and quality-by-design practices.
• Design, develop and maintain robust API, integration, regression and end-to-end automation.
• Strong focus on backend/API automation rather than UI-only testing.
• Develop reusable automation frameworks and scripting for test execution, validation and test data.
• Use Bruno, Postman or equivalent API testing tools for API validation and automation.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and establish effective quality gates.
• Perform manual, exploratory, functional, integration and regression testing where automation is not appropriate.
• Validate APIs, integrations and data across SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Identify automation gaps, flaky tests and opportunities to improve test efficiency.
• Own the team's Quality Dashboard, roadmap and quality reporting for Engineering/Product leadership.
• Track automation coverage, defect leakage, production defects, regression health, test execution, flaky tests, release readiness and quality risks.
• Convert quality metrics into actionable improvement initiatives.
• Partner with Developers, Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, Architects and Product teams.
• Drive root-cause analysis and preventive actions for significant defects.
• Promote developer ownership of quality and consistent engineering quality practices.
• Prioritize quality activities across multiple concurrent initiatives without becoming a delivery bottleneck.
• 6 to 8 years of Quality Engineering / Software Testing experience.
• Strong hands-on API and backend automation experience.
• Strong scripting/programming skills for test automation.
• Strong knowledge of Bruno, Postman or equivalent API testing tools.
• Excellent understanding of manual, exploratory, functional, integration and regression testing.
• Experience with automation frameworks such as Playwright/Selenium, REST API automation, C#/NUnit/xUnit or equivalent.
• Strong REST API, SQL and database testing skills; exposure to NoSQL.
• Good understanding of .NET/C#, Azure and CI/CD.
• Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience defining test strategy, quality metrics and quality dashboards.
• Good understanding of ReactJS/UI testing, but UI is not the primary focus.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Load and Performance Testing experience.
• Performance testing tools such as JMeter, k6 or equivalent.
• Experience with distributed systems, microservices and event-driven architectures.
• Experience with contract testing and production-quality monitoring.
• Increased meaningful API/integration automation coverage
• Reduced manual regression effort and production defect leakage
• Improved automation reliability and feedback cycle
• Clear and actionable quality dashboard and roadmap
• Consistent quality standards across the 30-person team
• Improved release confidence and engineering ownership of quality
