About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Automation QA Engineer (AQA) to join a CommIT team delivering mission-critical systems for a leading financial institution. You will own test automation end-to-end across a layered banking architecture, building the frameworks, suites, and pipelines that keep quality high in a secure, highly regulated environment.
This is a hands-on senior role for an engineer who treats test code with the same rigor as production code. You will define automation strategy, drive coverage across UI, API, and integration layers, and embed automated quality gates into the delivery process. We build with modern, AI-assisted workflows, so QA engineers who are fluent with tools like Cursor and Claude Code will feel at home.
Architecture You Will Test
You will design and maintain automated coverage across all tiers of a layered banking architecture, validating behavior and data flow as it moves through each layer:
Client (React) ? BFF (Next.js / JavaScript) ? Middleware (.NET / C#) ? Core Banking
Key Responsibilities
• Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and suites across UI, API, and service/integration layers.
• Automate end-to-end UI tests for the React client and BFF, and API/contract tests for the .NET middleware and core integrations.
• Build, maintain, and optimize automated test pipelines in CI/CD, and embed quality gates into the build and release process.
• Define test strategy, test plans, and coverage; partner with developers on where unit, integration, and end-to-end tests belong.
• Validate asynchronous and event-driven flows (e.g. RabbitMQ / Kafka) and verify data integrity across services and databases.
• Triage failures, perform root-cause analysis, log and track defects, and report on quality metrics and release readiness.
• Work within the bank's SDLC and governance — change management, environment promotion, and compliance gates.
• Mentor team members on automation best practices and raise the overall quality bar.
