About The Role
The Senior Quality Assurance Engineer at MCS Group plays a pivotal role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality software solutions within an Agile environment. This position requires a proactive individual who advocates for quality at every stage of the development lifecycle. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams, including Product Owners, Developers, and QA professionals, to design and implement comprehensive testing strategies that align with business objectives. Emphasizing shift-left testing, API-first automation, and the integration of AI tools, this role is vital for maintaining the robustness and scalability of the company's trading platforms and financial services infrastructure. The Senior QA Engineer will lead efforts to develop scalable automation frameworks, drive continuous improvement in testing practices, and ensure that software releases meet stringent quality standards.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will possess extensive experience in QA automation within Agile or SAFe environments, with a solid understanding of software development lifecycle principles. Proficiency in automation tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or TestComplete is essential, along with strong programming skills in Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Experience in designing and maintaining scalable automation frameworks, particularly with Playwright or WebDriverIO, is highly desirable. Familiarity with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or TeamCity, and experience with BDD frameworks such as Cucumber, are also required. Candidates should have a background in API, functional, and end-to-end testing, with an ability to define acceptance criteria aligned with business needs. Knowledge of non-functional testing including performance, load, and stress testing using tools like JMeter or K6 is advantageous. Formal testing qualifications such as ISTQB and exposure to TDD/BDD methodologies are a plus. A strong understanding of microservices, AWS, and serverless architectures, along with experience in financial trading platforms, will be considered an asset.
