• Build automated API test suites that validate integration points, edge cases, and error handling across services.
• Partner with SW Engineers, Product Managers, and QA to deeply understand requirements and deliver airtight test coverage.
• Design and execute test strategies across UI, API, and microservices—including functional, regression, and end-to-end testing across multiple browsers.
• Conduct load and performance testing using tools like JMeter, Gatling, or k6 to ensure we scale with confidence.
• Integrate your tests into our CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) to support fast and reliable deployments.
• Log and track bugs and performance issues using JIRA, collaborating with devs for quick resolution.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies like sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives to stay aligned and move fast.
• Review code for testability and share quality-focused feedback.
• Document test procedures, test data, and quality metrics to drive continuous improvement.
• Mentor junior engineers and help level up test automation practices across the team.

What You Bring:

Please note: Applicants must be authorized to work in Canada without needing an employment VISA or other sponsorship help.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in software quality engineering.
• Solid JavaScript skills and experience with Cypress using Page Object Design Patterns.
• Deep knowledge of testing RESTful APIs—including payload validation and authentication workflows.
• Comfort with cross-browser testing (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
• Experience with load/performance testing tools like JMeter, Gatling, or k6.
• Proven history working in Agile/Scrum teams and participating in all the key ceremonies.
• CI/CD experience, especially integrating automation into GitLab pipelines.
• A knack for test strategy: you can design plans that span unit, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing.
• Expertise with JIRA for bug tracking and reporting.
• A collaborative mindset and ability to review code with an eye toward quality and testability.
• Passion for mentoring and spreading best practices in automated testing.
