Role Summary

We're seeking a versatile QA professional with a strong understanding of the full testing lifecycle. You'll work confidently and independently, engaging with, influencing and constructively challenging stakeholders. You'll help shape testing strategy, assess production readiness, and collaborate closely with clients and third-party suppliers. Consulting involves varied projects, so adaptability is essential. Experience in both manual and automated testing environments would be highly valuable across Triad's projects and government client base.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement test automation strategies: using Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium WebDriver.
• End-to-end QA and UAT coordination: plan and coordinate test scenarios, validate functionality across integration and QA environments, align cross-functional teams and oversee quality governance to ensure changes are thoroughly tested and E2E and UAT phases run smoothly.
• Integration testing: test user journeys spanning multiple systems.
• Resilience and failure-mode testing: assess feature flags, queued-message recovery, retry behaviour, incomplete transactions and disaster-recovery scenarios, covering failures as well as successful journeys.
• Functional and regression testing: confirm fixes in QA and production, close Jira items when evidence verifies deployment and expected behaviour, and reassess any unresolved defects.
• Release and production verification: verify emergency changes in production, identify defects, and collaborate with service and supplier teams to resolve them.
• Requirement and usability challenge: identify ambiguous validation rules, dependencies, missing controls and usability issues, and work with business or operational owners to define expected behaviour.
• Test preparation and environment setup: prepare test accounts and data.
• Supplier and stakeholder coordination: combine confidence in coding with experience leading SDETs and engaging stakeholders to implement effective QA strategies and processes.

Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience in test automation using Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium WebDriver.
• Recent Java or C# experience developing automated tests and test frameworks is required.
• Plan, design and execute testing, not simply execute predefined test scripts.
• Analyse user stories, requirements, prototypes, processes and designs to determine appropriate testing.
• Apply both functional and non-functional testing techniques.
• Take a risk-based approach to testing and quality.
• Manage, report and help resolve defects.
• Recommend appropriate testing approaches and improve testing practices.
• Communicate effectively between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Have sufficient seniority to support and guide other people involved in testing

Qualifications & Certifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of professional experience in Quality Assurance Engineering.
