[Hiring] Senior QA Engineer @OneView Commerce

Role Description

OneView is looking for a Senior QA Engineer to design and automate the testing for our platform features. Reporting to the Head of Quality Engineering, you will work inside a delivery team, shaping quality from the moment a story is refined through to production. You will work to an established test strategy, and you will own the design and the code inside it.

• You write tests in a framework the Senior Test Automation Engineer owns; you decide what to test and when the coverage is good enough.
• Automation is the default here. You will build and maintain automated coverage at API and interface level within our existing frameworks.
• When a test fails you are expected to work out why: whether the product broke, the test is wrong, or the environment lied, and then say so in a defect report the engineer can act on without coming back to you.
• You will be in refinement and design reviews while the decisions are still being made.
• You will have someone above you who sets the standard and reviews your work.
• You will also have colleagues earlier in their careers who will learn by watching how you work.
• We use AI throughout our day-to-day work and expect you to find uses for it we have not thought of.

Responsibilities

• Design the test cases, scenarios, and scripts for your feature area, working to the criteria and standards the quality engineering team has set.
• Build and maintain automated tests at API and interface level inside our existing frameworks, and extend that coverage as the product grows.
• Keep the regression coverage for your area current as the product changes.
• Take part in refinement, design, and specification reviews. Challenge an acceptance criterion that cannot be tested and get it corrected before development starts.
• Run your tests in the pipeline and read what comes back: reports, traces, and logs.
• Diagnose a failure to its cause and establish whether it is the product, the test, or the environment before raising it.
• Raise defects that an engineer can act on immediately, and see them through triage, fix, and re-test.
• Manage the test data and environment conditions your tests depend on.
• Carry out exploratory testing around your area to find what the scripted coverage misses.
• Contribute to non-functional testing on your area: performance, accessibility, security, and resilience.
• Report on what is covered, what is not, how defects are trending, and what risk is left.
• Support QA engineers earlier in their careers, by example and by review.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in software QA, including at least two writing and maintaining automated tests.
• Fluent in formal test design techniques such as equivalence partitioning, boundary analysis, state transition, and decision tables.
• Has built and maintained automated tests in a framework such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
• Experienced at API and service level with tools such as Postman, REST Assured, or an equivalent.
• Reads application code well enough to see what a test actually covers.
• Comfortable diagnosing a CI/CD failure to its source.
• Has owned the test data and environment setup a suite depends on.
• Has run performance, accessibility, and security tests with guidance.
• Has tested for data and transaction integrity.
• Has tested enterprise software deployed to a major public cloud, inside an agile, Scrum-based SDLC and STLC.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Experience testing software that runs in physical locations.
• Automation experience in more than one framework.
• Behaviour-driven testing with Cucumber, SpecFlow, or similar.
• Performance and load testing with tools such as k6, JMeter, Gatling, or Artillery.
• Accessibility testing against WCAG with tooling such as axe.
• Has used AI in testing.
• Has helped a less experienced colleague get materially better.
• ISTQB or an equivalent testing qualification.

Benefits

• Work with global retail leaders to innovate everything.
• Independence to set your own direction.
• Support from leadership to implement changes.
• Named one of Built In's Best Places to Work for three years in a row.
