Original job description

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a highly motivated QA Engineer who takes end-to-end ownership of quality - from early requirement validation through testing, defect resolution, and final delivery. This role goes beyond executing test cases; you will play a key role in enhancing overall product quality, expanding test coverage, lead testing efforts for cross-team initiatives,

and driving automation initiatives to improve long-term efficiency.

In this position, you will collaborate closely with Product to understand and define end-to-end client workflows, ensuring comprehensive validation for complex Wealth workflows that span multiple systems and integration, and with a focus on strengthening automation coverage.

The ideal candidate is analytical, curious, and committed to continuous learning. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, proactively identifying defects and risks, and clearly communicating findings with confidence. You take initiative, think beyond obvious paths, and bring a strong sense of ownership - not only in validating functionality, but also in maintaining and optimizing automated test environments to ensure stability and reliability. You are equally effective at demonstrating completed functionality and articulating quality outcomes to stakeholders.

Expand and enhance automated test coverage to improve efficiency and scalability
Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot automated test failures
Execute functional, regression, integration, and performance testing
Validate acceptance criteria during grooming sessions to ensure testability and clarity
Proactively identify gaps, edge cases, and potential risks early in the development lifecycle
Present and demo completed QA stories during team and department demos, effectively highlighting functionality and test coverage
Configure and manage automated test environments using tools such as Jenkins or TeamCity
Ensure Jira stories and defects meet the Definition of Done (DoD) criteria
Actively participate in agile ceremonies, including grooming, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives
Coordinate cross-team “swarm” testing efforts for end-to-end validation, including setting up test environments and developing comprehensive master test plans to ensure complete coverage across systems and workflows

Qualifications

Ability to translate business requirements into detailed functional and technical test plans
Experience in using CI/CD pipelines and tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps
Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and collaborative development workflows
Ability to multi-task and manage time efficiently
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate findings
Excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities
Team player with high energy and a positive attitude
Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner) is a plus
Strong sense of ownership with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment
