Senior Automation QA Engineer

What you'll do:

As a Senior Automation Quality Assurance Engineer, you will immerse yourself in a dynamic environment where your expertise will drive the evolution of quality assurance across distributed teams. Your day-to-day activities will involve reviewing test outcomes from various teams, prioritising defects alongside development leads, refining test plans for upcoming releases, and mentoring junior analysts on automation techniques. You will collaborate closely with engineering colleagues in both Europe and Malaysia to support seamless workflows while taking ownership of continuous improvements that contribute directly to product stability. By actively participating in user acceptance testing sessions and providing expert guidance to business users, you will help shape how quality is embedded into every stage of the development process. Your ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences will be essential as you present findings to stakeholders and support leadership in identifying trends for further enhancement. Success in this role means not only delivering reliable releases but also nurturing a culture of shared responsibility for quality across regions.

• Define and refine comprehensive testing approaches for both active platforms and new product developments, ensuring high standards are maintained throughout the software lifecycle.
• Establish detailed test plans, test suites, and supporting documentation that underpin predictable release cycles and foster confidence among stakeholders.
• Act as a key point of reference for testing standards and practices within the team, providing guidance across related functions to ensure consistency and excellence.
• Conduct functional, regression, and performance testing with a focus on early defect identification to minimise downstream rework and enhance overall product quality.
• Challenge requirements and solution designs during pre-development reviews to ensure testability, identify potential gaps, and proactively reduce future issues.
• Provide clear, structured defect reports with actionable guidance that supports efficient resolution and long-term prevention of recurring issues.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites within a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) environment to streamline release processes.
• Mentor team members on automation best practices, fostering knowledge sharing and upskilling within the QA function.
• Apply performance and load testing methodologies using industry-standard tools such as JMeter or LoadRunner to validate system robustness under varying conditions.
• Present quality indicators and test outcomes to delivery leads and product stakeholders, highlighting risks, dependencies, and opportunities for process improvement in a constructive manner.
