Senior Software Test Engineer

As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you will have the opportunity to lead our testing efforts and ensure the delivery of high-quality software products. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software testing methodologies, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage testing activities for complex software projects. As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you will work closely with development teams, product managers, and other stakeholders to define and execute test strategies that ensure the robustness and reliability of our software solutions.

• CI/CD Environment: Design, develop, and maintain a CI /CD environment for a small to medium size software team. This includes setting up and maintaining build scripts, build pipelines, and branch policies to ensure best practices are followed and a quality product is delivered.
• Continuous Improvement: Mentor and guide junior test engineers, providing technical leadership and support. Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the testing process, including adopting new tools, techniques, and best practices. Analyze test results and metrics to identify areas for improvement and optimize testing processes.
• Test Strategy and Planning: Develop comprehensive test strategies and plans for software projects, including functional, performance, security, and regression testing. Collaborate with project stakeholders to understand requirements and define test objectives, scope, and schedules. Identify and mitigate risks associated with software testing and ensure alignment with project timelines.
• Build open and honest relationships
• Test Design and Execution: Design, develop, and execute test cases based on software requirements and design specifications. Lead the creation of automated test scripts and frameworks to improve testing efficiency and coverage. Conduct exploratory testing to identify edge cases and potential issues that automated tests may not cover. Perform manual testing as needed, particularly for complex or high-risk areas of the software.
• Defect Management: Identify, document, and track defects using appropriate tools and processes. Work closely with development teams to ensure the timely resolution of issues. Provide clear and actionable feedback to developers, including steps to reproduce issues and suggestions for improvements.
• Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, stakeholders, and product managers, to ensure a seamless integration of testing activities within the software development lifecycle. Participate in project planning, provide updates on test progress, challenges, and outcomes. Communicate effectively with stakeholders to ensure timeliness and quality of deliverables. Provide effective feedback throughout the development process. Foster a culture of collaboration by driving clear communication and teamwork within the team.
