Job Description

The Automation Test Engineer (Quality Engineer) plays a key role in ensuring end-to-end quality throughout the software development lifecycle by embedding shift-left testing principles and championing test automation and non-functional testing practices.

This role is responsible for validating requirements early in the discovery phase, developing automation frameworks across UI, API, and mobile layers to support high automation coverage, and implementing effective test data and environment strategies.

The Automation Test Engineer (Quality Engineer) manages the defect lifecycle, performs root cause analysis, and delivers quality insights through key metrics such as Defect Leakage and MTTD/MTTR. The role also involves integrating performance and security testing into CI/CD pipelines, supporting QA efforts across project releases, and collaborating with teams to uphold Globe’s quality standards and continuous improvement culture.

Embed Shift-Left Testing Practices

• Collaborate early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to ensure quality is built in from the start.

• Validate requirements during discovery and refinement sessions.

Test Planning and Design

• Define and document test scenarios and test cases aligned with business and technical requirements.

• Design testing approaches that incorporate functional and non-functional testing needs.

Test Automation

• Develop and maintain automation scripts for UI, API, and mobile platforms.

• Ensure automation coverage targets are met (e.g., 80% minimum).

• Utilize reusable, maintainable, and scalable automation frameworks.

Test Execution and Management

• Execute test cases (manual and automated) during various test phases (unit, integration, system, regression).

• Manage test data creation and coordinate test environment readiness.

• Monitor and log test results and ensure traceability to requirements.

Defect Management

• Identify, log, track, and retest defects.

• Lead root cause analysis and support teams in resolving issues.

• Prevent recurrence through continuous quality improvement initiatives.

Non-Functional Testing

• Integrate performance and security testing into the delivery pipeline.

• Leverage tools for load, stress, and vulnerability testing.

CI/CD Integration

• Contribute to the implementation of automated tests in CI/CD pipelines.

• Ensure quality gates are enforced for stable and reliable deployments.

Reporting and Metrics

• Track and report key quality metrics (e.g., Defect Leakage, Mean Time to Detect [MTTD], Mean Time to Repair [MTTR]).

• Provide test progress updates and quality insights to stakeholders.

Collaboration and Communication

• Work closely with developers, business analysts, product owners, and other stakeholders.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to optimize testing processes and tools.

• Adopt best practices in quality engineering and stay current with emerging trends.

Compliance and Governance

• Follow Globe’s quality and security standards.

• Support test audit readiness and documentation compliance when necessary.

TOP 3-5 DELIVERABLES:

• Automated Test Scripts: Develop and maintain automation scripts for UI, API, and mobile testing to ensure at least 80% test coverage.

• Test Strategy and Documentation: Create detailed test plans, scenarios, and cases aligned with business and technical requirements.

• Defect Reports and Root Cause Analysis: Document, track, and analyze defects, providing insights to prevent future issues.

• Quality Metrics Dashboards: Generate and present key quality metrics (e.g., Defect Leakage, MTTD, MTTR) to stakeholders for informed decision-making.

• CI/CD Test Integration: Integrate automated tests and non-functional checks (performance, security) into CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless and reliable releases.

HIRING REQUIREMENTS:

• 1-5 years of Test Automation QA/QE experience with a track record of leading multiple QA projects and teams

• Strong grasp of QA methodologies, SDLC, DevOps, and test strategy development
