Quality Engineer

Responsibilities

-        Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks and test suites for web and mobile web applications across multiple browsers and devices. 

-        Design and implement cross-browser testing strategies, accessibility testing protocols to ensure WCAG 2.1 AA compliance using aXe DevTools and Lighthouse, and performance testing strategies using JMeter or Tricentis NeoLoad. 

-        Define performance test scenarios and SLA benchmarks in collaboration with system architects and business stakeholders. 

-        Collaborate with development teams to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with multi-browser test execution, accessibility validation, and performance monitoring. 

-        Perform data acquisition and preparation.

-         The Quality Engineer role is expected to be strategic in nature, encompassing the full quality lifecycle beyond test script execution, including test strategy, data preparation, upstream process improvement, stakeholder management, and mentoring. At higher seniority levels, the QE shall lead all quality aspects of engineering for the System.

-        As System Analyst/Senior System Analyst, the QE shall mentor and lead junior team members on test automation best practices, browser compatibility approaches, accessibility testing methodologies, and performance testing techniques. This includes analysis of test issues, driving changes upstream to prevent recurrence of the same issues, stakeholder management and strategic planning to improve test outcomes.

-         As Senior System Analyst, the QE shall additionally oversee and drive all aspects of quality assurance for the System, including strategic planning to establish test methodologies and standards, process improvements to track test efficiency and effectiveness, setting the quality vision for the System and drive continuous improvement across people, processes, and tooling.
