Software Test Engineer

Key Responsibilities

Champion Quality Engineering

● Define and drive the overall quality engineering strategy for CrowdTaskSG.

● Establish quality standards, testing principles, and engineering best practices across all products.

● Shift quality ownership left by embedding testing early in the development lifecycle.

● Build a strong culture where quality is everyone's responsibility rather than solely the QA team's.

Drive Test-Driven Development (TDD)

● Coach engineers in adopting Test-Driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Development where appropriate.

● Review implementation approaches to ensure sufficient unit, integration, API, and end-to-end test coverage.

● Work with engineering leads to ensure new features are designed with testability in mind.

● Advocate for automated regression coverage before production deployment.

Lead Test Automation

● Design, develop, and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks.

● Expand automation across:

○ Unit testing

○ Integration testing

○ API testing

○ End-to-End UI testing

○ Contract testing

○ Performance testing

○ Security validation

● Continuously improve test execution speed, stability, and maintainability.

● Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to support rapid and reliable deployments.

Drive AI-Powered Quality Engineering

● Evaluate and implement AI-assisted testing tools to improve engineering productivity.

● Guide the engineering team in adopting practical AI-driven testing workflows that improve speed without compromising quality.

Engineering Enablement

● Mentor software engineers in writing effective automated tests.

● Conduct quality-focused code reviews and provide constructive feedback.

● Establish engineering guidelines for maintainable and testable code.

● Create reusable testing libraries, frameworks, and utilities that increase team productivity.

● Run internal workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions on modern testing practices.

Quality Governance

● Define and monitor quality metrics

● Recommend improvements based on engineering insights and production data.

● Support incident investigations by identifying quality gaps and preventive measures.

Continuous Improvement

● Continuously evaluate emerging tools, frameworks, and engineering practices.

● Improve release confidence while reducing manual effort.

● Drive initiatives that reduce production defects and improve development velocity.
