The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of software quality processes and best practices, with a demonstrated ability to solve complex problems through collaboration and innovative thinking. The Senior Quality Engineer will be responsible for developing test strategies, authoring automated tests, executing tests, and advising on testability and best practices for quality by participating in all phases of the software development lifecycle. Senior Quality Engineers may directly support development teams as an embedded team member and will implement and enhance the measurement of actionable quality metrics and outcomes related to resilience.

The Senior Quality Engineer position will offer the successful candidate the opportunity to influence a comprehensive quality program alongside an energetic team focused on high-quality delivery at high velocity. The processes and tests developed by the Senior Quality Engineer will strengthen the foundation of a growing culture of quality, and this role will offer numerous opportunities to define how experiences are discovered and delivered at GoodLeap.

• Act as the embedded quality owner for one or more cross-functional product teams, developing trust-based partnerships and promoting a quality-first mindset throughout planning, development, deployment, and release.
• Influence and support the team’s goals related to test automation, reliability, performance, and resilience, measurably shifting testing efforts earlier in the development lifecycle and increasing velocity without compromising quality.
• Author and maintain automated tests (e.g. functional regression tests) using modern testing frameworks for APIs, web applications, and services.
• Perform manual component-level testing, integration testing, exploratory testing, and regression testing as needed to validate features and expose risks not yet covered by test automation.
• Develop and maintain API test suites validating contract integrity and expected system behavior.

• Collaborate with software engineers to guide best practices in unit and integration testing and define team working agreements to execute.
• Coach and mentors of software engineers to author tests and develop test code that aligns with established Quality Engineering strategy and best practices.
• Execute end-to-end, cross-team testing initiatives as a subject matter expert (SME) or dedicated tester supporting complex large-scale initiative test efforts.
• Implement and improve measurement of actionable quality metrics and outcomes related to coverage, product reliability, and organizational resilience.
• Develop, maintain, and execute clear test plans, test cases, and test reports, providing transparency into coverage and risk across work streams.

• Analyze defect trends, conduct root cause analysis, and proactively identify opportunities for improvement in both process and product.

• Proven experience as a Quality Engineer or SDET embedded in agile software development teams, ideally within fintech or enterprise SaaS environments.
• Strong experience defining and executing test strategies across multiple testing layers (including unit, component, integration, & end-to-end) and collaborating with developers on test ownership and implementation.
• Proficiency with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, JUnit) and scripting automated tests at various levels of the stack.
• Hands-on experience using Postman, Insomnia, or similar API testing tools for validation of service behavior and reliability.
• Strong understanding of test engineering best practices, including exploratory testing, performance testing, functional testing, and risk-based prioritization.
• Familiarity with test case management systems (e.g., Xray, TestRail, Zephyr) and issue tracking tools (e.g., Jira).
• Experience with version control and continuous integration tools (e.g., Git, GitHub Actions, Jenkins)and pipelines.
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills with the ability to communicate risk and advocate for quality outcomes with technical and non-technical stakeholders including Product, Design, Strategy, and Software Engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to lead quality initiatives, mentor teammates, and handle multiple competing priorities with minimal supervision.
• Ability to influence in collaborative settings and experience working with peers to translate quality-focused goals into objectives and plans for delivery.
• Demonstrated skill in developing test plans, assessing risk, writing bug reports, and providing relevant data for defect reporting and tracking.
• Direct experience developing automated test suites and writing test code.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and as a team player.
