POSITION INFO:

The Software Quality Engineer will be responsible for designing, building and maintaining automated test assets that ensure the quality, reliability and stability of software solutions.

The role focuses on using the bank's automation frameworks, pre-defined testing tools and quality engineering practices to validate both the solution and its underlying architecture.

Key responsibilities

Test automation and quality engineering

Design, develop and maintain reusable automated test scripts and test assets.
Use existing automation frameworks and approved test tools to support quality assurance.
Create automation packs that can be reused across releases, projects and regression cycles.
Execute automated test suites and analyse results to identify defects, risks and quality gaps.

Test analysis and design

Review business requirements, user stories, technical specifications and solution designs.
Identify test scenarios, test data requirements and expected outcomes.
Translate functional and technical requirements into automated test cases.
Ensure test coverage across functional, integration, regression and end-to-end scenarios.

Defect identification and resolution support

Log, track and manage defects through the agreed defect management process.
Work closely with developers, business analysts, testers and product teams to resolve issues.
Provide clear evidence, logs and replication steps for failed test cases.
Retest fixes and support defect closure.

Architecture and solution quality

Validate that the solution behaves as intended across systems, APIs, data flows and user interfaces.
Support quality assurance of the broader solution architecture, not only the front-end application.
Identify risks related to integration, performance, stability, security and maintainability.
Ensure automated testing supports the overall quality of the application landscape.

CI/CD and DevOps support

Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines where applicable.
