Technology Architect, Quality Engineering

Technology Architect, Quality Engineering at Infosys

We’re seeking a Technology Architect, Quality Engineering to define and drive the end-to-end Quality Engineering strategy across programs. You’ll architect enterprise-grade automation (UI, API, data), embed quality into CI/CD, enable cloud-scale execution, and mentor teams to elevate engineering excellence. This role blends deep hands-on technical expertise with strategic leadership and client-facing solutioning.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Strategy

• Define the QE reference architecture (UI, API, data, mobile, non-functional) aligned to product and platform strategy.
• Design modular, scalable test automation frameworks in Java + Selenium (Page Object/Screenplay/Component Object Model), extendable to REST Assured, Playwright, and contract testing (Pact).
• Establish test pyramid, shift-left practices, and quality gates integrated into build pipelines.
• Introduce service virtualization, test data management (TDM), and environment strategy (ephemeral envs, test containers).

DevOps & Platform Engineering

• Industrialize automation via CI/CD (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), parallelization, and Selenium Grid/Docker/Kubernetes.
• Set up artifact versioning, secrets management, policy-as-code, and SonarQube quality profiles for automation code.
• Implement observability for tests (structured logs, trace IDs, metrics dashboards, Allure/Extent/Custom Grafana boards).
• Drive flaky test governance (quarantine lanes, retry heuristics, root-cause patterns, stability SLOs).

Cloud & Modern Platforms

• Design cloud-native test execution (AWS/Azure/GCP), leverage BrowserStack/Sauce Labs for cross-browser/device coverage.
• Validate distributed systems (event-driven/Kafka), microservices, and serverless with contract & resilience testing.
• Integrate feature flags, blue-green/canary validation, and chaos experiments into pre-prod gates.

Non-Functional Quality

• Establish performance engineering baselines (JMeter/Gatling, capacity modeling, SLAs/SLOs).
• Embed security testing (OWASP ASVS, ZAP/Burp automation hooks), accessibility (WCAG), and reliability checks.

Leadership & Client Orientation

• Run architecture reviews, coach SDETs, and build communities of practice for QE.
• Partner with Product/Engineering to shape roadmaps, budgets, and resourcing, support RFPs and client workshops.
• Translate complex quality risks into clear, executive-ready narratives and remediation plans.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 13+ years in QA/QE with designing automation frameworks at scale.
• Expert in Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG/JUnit, SOLID design, and clean code; strong API automation (REST Assured).
• Working knowledge of performance tools (JMETER, BLAZEMETER, NEOLOAD, Performance Center, K2VIEW, GATLING etc.)
• Working knowledge of monitoring tools (DYNATRACE, NEW RELIC, SPLUNK, PROMETHEUS, OPEN TELEMETRY)
• Hands-on with CI/CD, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud runners, Selenium Grid.
• Proven experience with microservices testing, contract testing, service virtualization, and TDM.
• Working knowledge of performance, security, and accessibility testing practices.
• Strong systems thinking, root-cause analysis, and data-driven decisioning.

Good to Have

• Playwright/Cypress; Mobile (Appium); GraphQL testing; Pactflow; TestContainers.
• IaC (Terraform), OPA/Conftest; advanced observability (OpenTelemetry).
• Domain: BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, or Telecom (compliance-heavy environments).
• Certifications: AWS/Azure/GCP, CKA/CKAD, ISTQB Advanced, Security (nice-to-have).

Personal Qualities

• High analytical skills
• A high degree of initiative and flexibility
• High customer orientation
• High quality awareness
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
