- Design and own the overall test strategy for backend applications, integration points, and file-based data exchanges.
- Validate backend data processing, file-based workflows, and inter-system integrations.
- Lead API testing and validation efforts.
- Apply and champion Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) approaches.
- Lead or mentor other QA engineers.
- Drive test planning, test case design, execution, and defect triage at a program level.
- Partner with developers and analysts to resolve defects, clarify requirements, and influence upstream quality decisions.
- Track and report on quality metrics and practice maturity to leadership.
Requirements
- 3–4 years of software testing experience operating at a senior/lead level.
- 2+ years of experience explicitly defining QA standards, processes, or best practices for a team or organization.
- 2+ years leading or mentoring other QA engineers.

- 3+ years of hands-on API testing and validation experience (Postman or equivalent).
- Experience standing up a QA function in at least one greenfield or early-stage environment.
- Demonstrated forward-looking perspective on AI in testing — ideally 1+ years of direct experience incorporating AI-assisted or AI-native testing tooling into a QA practice.
