Associate Quality Engineer

About the Role

As an Associate Quality Engineer, you will perform hands-on testing activities, including test creation and process support within a given functional area. Your primary goal will be to support the delivery of high-quality solutions by automating tests and enhancing automation frameworks.

You will contribute to test planning and perform hands-on test design, development, and maintenance, test case automation, and test execution to achieve business outcomes. Integrating directly into a team's continuous delivery process, you will augment the delivery of quality software, ensuring speed, agility, and effective risk management. This includes defining test data and environment requirements.

Your responsibilities also involve analyzing the end-to-end proposed solution (business requirements, design specifications, architecture blueprints, etc.) to develop in-scope tests. You will analyze, develop, debug, and maintain test suites (automated/manual), traceability matrices, and log defects, assisting in their resolution as required. Providing quick feedback throughout the development and design process, you will analyze and report on test results to confirm the quality of the intended solution.

You will leverage tools that support automation activities and management, such as test automation frameworks and test management tools. Utilizing virtual assets to support virtualization of any incomplete or unavailable code, service, or database will be key. A basic knowledge of test data management is required to reuse automated test data provisioning capabilities and adopt standard test data tool sets. You will effectively leverage tools and engineering practices including DevOps tools and processes, source code management, Service Virtualization, and monitoring tools.

The role entails implementing functional and/or non-functional automation approaches (performance, readiness/reliability testing (ORT), accessibility, security), frameworks, including script development and execution, and ensuring automated tests are integrated into Continuous Integration (CI), delivery, and testing (CI/CD/CT) pipelines. You will be responsible for documenting and supporting the proactive identification of end-to-end test solution designs, updating knowledge bases, and identifying early automation opportunities. Working collaboratively with the development team, you will define and validate user stories, acceptance criteria, and Definition of Done (DoD) / Ready (DoR). Applying the principles of Behavior/Test Driven Development (BDD/TDD), you will focus on value-driven outcomes, providing feedback, reporting, and analytics on overall quality/performance, user experience, and future bug prevention. You will actively participate in Practices' communities of Interest and may be involved in Proof of Concepts (POCs) to evaluate new technologies for better, faster, more secure testing activities (such as Service Virtualization, DevOps, BDD, Test Data Management).

Experience and Education

A BS degree in Computer Science or a related Engineering discipline, or equivalent practical experience, is required.

Required Skills

• Up to 2 years of experience in Quality Engineering or Software Testing using industry-standard tools.
• Strong knowledge of Core-Java concepts (OOP, collections, exception handling).
• Hands-on experience with Selenium for web automation.
• Good command of Cucumber framework for managing and executing test cases.
• Experience in REST Assured for API testing and automation.
• Understanding of SDLC, STLC, and Agile methodologies.
• Ability to analyze requirements and convert them into test scenarios.

Nice To Have

• Exposure to CI/CD tools like Jenkins.
• Basic knowledge of Git and version control systems.

Additional Information

You should possess foundational knowledge of specific domain and quality engineering frameworks, technology, tools, processes, and procedures. Solid knowledge of coding practices, testing, and debugging is essential for developing and maintaining resilient automated test scripts, with hands-on experience writing automated scripts using industry-standard frameworks. Strong debugging and problem-solving skills are required, including the ability to investigate and analyze potential solutions to problems. Foundational knowledge of in-scope TD business and systems, practices, business organization, and Bank standards is beneficial. The ability to drive work efforts, own tasks, and estimate and prioritize activities for medium to moderately complex tasks is important. Leveraging new or advanced techniques and approaches in testing and automation, and using existing procedures to solve routine problems while making limited exceptions, will be part of your role. You are expected to be a collaborative team player and report to a Practice lead.
