Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

Help with and implement our QA Architectural Artifacts

• All testing systems, their feedback loops and mechanisms, logging, reporting and interconnectivity

• Process artifacts that detail how, where and why quality controls and test mechanisms exist across the entire SDLC

• Implementation level architecture for good, scalable and maintainable testing strategies across disparate use cases (Web, Mobile, Data Engineering, AI etc)

• Contribute to and maintain our org wide Architecture Decision Records

Support the delivery and maintenance of our QA Engineering Policies, Procedures and Standards

• CI/CD practices, environment configuration, feedback loops etc

• Backend tooling, frameworks, their application, quality gating and measurement

• Technology stack/services consultancy and selection in accordance with technical and quality requirements (scalability, performance, security, compliance)

Support our QA Operational Practices

• Drive eCommerce automation projects

• Integration, Acceptance, Performance, Security level testing platforms

• Govern, train and evangelize good tests versus bad tests at each testing level

Drive best in class QA strategies

• Our customers need to love what we do for them

• Work across disciplines and with other Principal Engineers to evangelize for the needs of the Quality Automation discipline

• Knowledge transfer, training, mentoring of QA practices across the engineering org
