What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop robust test automation scripts based on business requirements, acceptance criteria, and functional specs—turning ideas into reliable, repeatable tests.
• Execute a mix of manual and automated tests (functional, integration, regression, and performance) to ensure our software stands up to real-world demands.
• Build and maintain libraries of automated and manual test scripts, keeping our testing foundation strong and adaptable.
• Work within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), aligning with Agile practices while upholding Information Security and Data Governance standards.
• Analyze automation test results, log defects in our issue tracking system, and partner with developers and team members to resolve issues fast.
• Lead by example—spot opportunities to refine our QA processes, explore innovative tools and techniques (think AI-powered testing), and push the boundaries of automation.
• Stick to testing timelines to keep product delivery smooth and on track.
• Dive into Agile workflows—join daily standups, backlog grooming, and retrospectives to keep the team aligned and moving forward.

What You Bring:

• Technical Expertise: minimum 8 years of hands-on software testing experience, ideally in a process-driven tech setting. Bonus points if you’ve worked in financial services!
• Coding Skills: Proven ability to write clean, effective code in languages like Java, C#, SQL, and scripting tools like PowerShell or Bash.
• Automation Know-How: Experience building and running automation tests using tools like Selenium for web, desktop/native apps, APIs, or even Power BI Reports.
• Test Planning: A knack for translating business needs into detailed, actionable test plans and scripts for multi-tier applications.
• Problem-Solving: Sharp analytical skills to interpret results, identify defects, and collaborate on solutions.
• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience that showcases your skills.
• Certifications: Nice-to-have credentials like Certified Software Tester (CSTE), Certified Software Quality Analyst (CSQA), or similar.
