Your Opportunity
Sr. QA Engineer, will be responsible to ensure all development stories are properly tested and quality of the product is enhanced. You will be closely working with developers to understand the architecture and get exposed to wide range of advanced programming environments and native mobile technologies (e.g., Xcode, Swift, Android Studio, Java/J2EE APIs, OS/Network/TCP Internals, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, etc.) and modern processes (Agile, Design Thinking). You will work closely with the technical business analysts and product owners to ensure requirements and acceptance criteria are well understood and tested. Manual testing is a requirement, but you will also work with the test automation engineers to ensure a robust regression suite of tests is current. You will be responsible for managing the test data, test environments, (set up, resolve dependencies with other organizations, etc.). This is a hands-on position, however there is great opportunity for leadership: helping to define processes and best practices for the QA discipline, serve in a part-time technical lead capacity to a limited number of junior test engineers, providing immediate direction and guidance.

What you are good at

• Applies expertise related to estimation, design, development and execution of manual and automation test cases and procedures, based on requirements relevant to test plan for product and system testing
• Depending on specific requirements, writes effective manual and automation test cases and/or automated frameworks
• Performs software defect tracking and regression for identified software release
• Participates in regular testing activities across the trading product releases
• Assists in planning, analyzing, designing, developing, and executing training, relative to manual testing, automation/load testing tools and methodologies
• Analyzes and understands each product's environment, architecture, and interdependencies to determine and apply appropriate test methodologies and test cases relative to applications being tested
• Sets up test environments and builds out interdependent test beds
• Designs, develops, and executes reusable and maintainable automation scripts; plans and executes functional and system level testing of products across all platforms to test various features; applies expertise in understanding issues that may arise around automated/load testing and assists in researching and providing solutions and to add, modify, or enhance previously recorded automated scripts
• Uses appropriate quality control tools to uncover defects and discover the state of the code; analyzes and records testing results and defects
• Assists developers in reproducing problems and getting them resolved
• Participates in design activity with other programmers on technical aspects relating to testing, including functional specifications, design parameters, feature enhancements, and alternative solutions
• Contributes to the creation of status, technical, and management reports as required
• Actively supports and provides guidance on the company's software engineering and test processes, procedures, standards and customer use cases
• Establishes and maintains thorough and accurate documentation of all work including status updates to summarize project highlights
• Provides test-related technical direction and project management within a project/scrum team; provides guidance in methodology selection, project planning, the review of work products; may serve in a part-time technical lead capacity to a limited number of junior test engineers, providing immediate direction and guidance
• Works closely with Technical Business Analyst, Software Engineers, Product Managers and other departments (operations, support and IT)
• Keeps technically abreast of trends and advancements within area of specialization, incorporating these improvements where applicable; attends technical conferences as appropriate
