Job Description
About the role
The Lending Payments platform delivers business-critical money movement capabilities. Quality Engineering is a proactive, end-to-end discipline that integrates quality principles throughout the delivery lifecycle (not just late-stage testing). This role focuses on building and scaling automated testing capabilities, strengthening quality gates, and reducing defect leakage through disciplined test strategy, automation frameworks, and reliable execution in CI/CD.
What you’ll do (core responsibilities)
Automation engineering (frameworks + scalable suites)
Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and suites for APIs and services; expand coverage while keeping tests deterministic and fast.
Create reusable automation patterns (data builders, helpers, stubs/mocks where appropriate) to reduce duplication and improve maintainability.
Own regression automation health: flake reduction, runtime optimization (parallelization where appropriate), and clear failure triage signals.
Quality strategy and quality gates
Define and implement a layered test strategy (unit, component/service, integration, end-to-end) aligned to change risk and payment criticality.
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD and define/enforce quality gates for merge and promotion readiness (evidence-based Definition of Done).
Drive defect prevention: analyze defect leakage trends, run retrospectives on escapes, and implement systemic fixes (test gaps, unclear requirements, missing validations).
Collaboration and delivery partnership
Partner with engineers, architects, and BSAs/POs early to clarify acceptance criteria, edge cases, and testability; translate behavior into executable checks where appropriate.
Provide quality feedback during design and PR review cycles; promote testability, observability, and safe change patterns.
Support release readiness by validating test evidence and coordinating with change/release processes as needed.
Non-functional testing (as applicable)
Contribute to performance and resiliency validation approaches where appropriate (test data, scenarios, and automation hooks).
Ensure monitoring and diagnostic artifacts exist for failures (logs/metrics/traces) and that test failures are actionable.
