Job Description

Insight Global is seeking an EDI Automation QA Analyst to join a leading courier and logistics client in Mississauga. This is a hybrid position requiring onsite attendance three days per week, with Mondays and Wednesdays designated as core collaboration days.

This role combines hands-on test automation, EDI validation, and end-to-end transaction testing across critical shipping and logistics platforms. The successful candidate will partner closely with development, integration, production support, and business teams to ensure the accurate, timely, and auditable exchange of transaction data between customers, partners, and internal systems.

The ideal candidate will possess strong automation expertise, a solid understanding of EDI standards and acknowledgements, and experience testing high-volume, business-critical integrations in an Agile environment. This individual will play a key role in advancing automation best practices and evolving existing test frameworks to better support EDI and integration testing initiatives.

This is a highly technical QA position focused on automation and integration testing. It is not a UI or web testing role. The successful candidate will divide their time between hands-on testing and developing automation solutions that improve test speed, coverage, quality, and overall delivery efficiency. Experience testing file-based systems, EDI transactions, and enterprise integrations is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute QA testing for multiple projects concurrently, focused on file-based workflows and integrations
• Create, manipulate, chain, and validate test files (e.g., generating files, stringing/harnessing files together, and verifying outputs)
• Design and build an automation framework (from scratch and/or improving existing approaches) to accelerate and scale testing
• Use AI-assisted approaches productively to increase throughput (e.g., accelerating repetitive test creation/execution and supporting high-volume QA work)
• Work within the team’s QA and delivery process, including test management and defect tracking
• Collaborate with QA and technical stakeholders to ensure test coverage aligns with requirements and release timelines

Work Split / Day-to-Day

• Approximately 50%: hands-on QA testing (file-based testing across multiple initiatives)

• Approximately 50%: automation development to improve and scale testing efficiency

We may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with the screening, assessment, or selection of potential applicants for this position.

Vacancy: This posting is for a currently vacant role, and the successful candidate will be hired into an existing open position.
