Team Leadership
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of 5+ test engineers across varying experience levels.
- Set technical direction for the team frameworks, standards, tooling, and automation strategy.
- Manage sprint workload, priorities, and cross-team coordination across multiple concurrent projects.
- Represent the QA function in leadership discussions, sprint planning, and architectural reviews.
- Build a team culture grounded in ownership, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
Backend & Distributed Systems Testing
- Design and execute comprehensive test strategies for distributed, microservices-based backend systems.
- Validate system behavior under real-world conditions including network partitions, service failures, message queue backlogs, and high concurrency.
- Test message-driven and event-driven architectures (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ) for correctness, ordering guarantees, and failure recovery.
- Validate data consistency, idempotency, and correctness across distributed components and databases.
- Build and maintain backend service integration and contract tests.
Frontend Testing
- Design and maintain automated UI test suites for web-based applications using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
- Ensure cross-browser and cross-platform coverage with maintainable, reliable test scripts.
- Collaborate with frontend developers to embed testing early in the development cycle.
Performance & Load Testing
- Own performance testing strategy designing, executing, and analyzing load, stress, soak, and spike tests.
- Identify bottlenecks at the service, database, and infrastructure level and work with engineering teams to address them.
- Define performance baselines and SLAs, and build automated regression checks around them.
- Use tools such as JMeter, Gatling, k6, or Locust to simulate realistic production traffic patterns.
CI/CD & Automation
- Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous quality feedback.
- Build scalable, maintainable automation frameworks aligned with engineering best practices.
- Conduct peer code reviews for test code and enforce quality standards across the team.
- Investigate, triage, and resolve test failures — distinguishing flaky tests from real defects.
Collaboration & Quality Culture
- Partner closely with developers, architects, and product teams to understand requirements and surface quality risks early.
- Participate in sprint planning, architecture reviews, and design discussions as the quality voice.
- Produce clear test reports, metrics, and findings for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Continuously improve test coverage, tooling, and processes.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in software testing, with strong coverage of both backend and frontend systems
- 2+ years leading or mentoring a QA team, with direct experience managing 5+ engineers preferred.
- Proven experience testing distributed systems microservices, event-driven architectures, or message brokers.
- Proficiency in UI automation using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or equivalent.
- Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or JavaScript able to write production-quality test code.
- Experience with API testing tools such as Postman, REST Assured, or similar.
- Solid experience with performance and load testing tools (k6, JMeter, Gatling, Locust, or similar).
- Understanding of distributed systems concepts: CAP theorem, eventual consistency, retry logic, circuit breakers, timeouts.
- Experience working in Linux/Unix environments.
- Familiarity with CI/CD platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
- Strong analytical mindset with attention to edge cases, failure modes, and non-obvious system interactions.
- Experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) is a strong asset.
- Familiarity with observability tooling (logs, metrics, tracing) to support test investigation.
- This is a fully remote role, with the candidate working out of their home office in Ontario, Canada
- The salary range for this role is 80-95,000 CAD
