Role
10Pearls is seeking an experienced Test Architect to lead the quality engineering strategy for a large-scale enterprise implementation of a SaaS platform supporting transaction analysis and exception identification within the audit process.
This engagement spans multiple enterprise applications and cloud platforms, including Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Validis, Blades, MindBridge, and the Audit Process Tool. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing the overall testing architecture, establishing governance frameworks, defining enterprise-wide testing strategies, and ensuring quality across complex system integrations.
As the Test Architect, you will provide technical leadership across System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), End-to-End Testing, and enterprise integration testing while collaborating with engineering teams, business stakeholders, suppliers, and solution architects.
