Senior Software Engineer – Quality Engineering

Role Overview

• Lead cross-team quality engineering initiatives in partnership with QA, Engineering Managers, and developers, with primary focus on back-end services.
• Define and drive automation strategy and standards (framework design, maintainability, reliability), raising the quality bar across teams.
• Guide tooling decisions for service automation, including API testing, contract validation, test data and AI tools approaches.
• Build and evolve GraphQL and REST back-end automation capabilities for microservices and event-driven workflows, emphasizing service reliability and data integrity.
• Improve CI/CD validation by strengthening service-level test pipelines, environment readiness, and dependable test data setup.
• Diagnose and reduce back-end quality risks by targeting distributed-system failure modes such as race conditions and consistency issues.
• Mentor QA engineers on service testing patterns, debugging approach, and practical automation design.
• Partner with developers on triage and root-cause analysis using logs, traces, and request/response evidence.
• The ideal candidate demonstrates strong ownership of their growth, actively learning new technologies and patterns as needed to improve quality outcomes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science/engineering or equivalent technical experience.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including automation across functional, end-to-end, regression, quality monitoring and performance testing for web-based, microservices systems.
• Strong programming fundamentals with the ability to work across languages; experience with TypeScript and Go is required.
• Deep back-end automation experience, including GraphQL API testing (required) and working knowledge of REST and SQL-based validation.
• Ability to innovate, design and maintain scalable automation frameworks, including service-level tests and test data strategy.
• Hands-on experience building automation into CI/CD and managing quality gates using tools such as GitHub Actions (Bazel familiarity is a plus).
• Experience with API tooling (for example Postman-style tools) and cloud testing platforms (BrowserStack/LambdaTest); Appium experience for mobile testing is required.
• Working knowledge of cloud/container environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and comfort troubleshooting distributed systems using logs and service-to-service signals.
• Strong analytical and leadership skills with a track record of influencing cross-functional teams and communicating technical risk clearly.
• Demonstrated documentation skills for engineering-facing standards and workflows (for example API/service testing standards).
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate automation delivery while maintaining quality, readability, and maintainability.
• Awareness of network and security fundamentals relevant to back-end testing (authentication/authorization, headers, tokens, and common failure modes).
• Adaptable, self-driven, and motivated to learn new technologies and domains quickly in a fast-paced, distributed environment.
