Senior QA Automation Developer, Integrations

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior QA Automation Developer, Integrations based in Canada.

This is a remote-first opportunity for a senior QA automation specialist focused on building scalable quality engineering practices for major platform and integration programs. You will play a key role in expanding automation coverage across UI and API layers while helping ensure reliable end-to-end quality. Working closely with developers, architects, product managers, delivery leaders, and QA specialists, you will influence quality strategy throughout the SDLC. The role combines hands-on engineering with technical collaboration and advisory responsibilities, with approximately 80% coding and 20% collaboration depending on project needs. You will adapt and extend established automation frameworks rather than rebuild them from scratch. The environment is fast-paced, Agile, highly collaborative, and focused on continuous delivery, automation, and practical use of AI.

Accountabilities

• Architect, develop, maintain, and scale automated end-to-end test suites using Playwright and appropriate test design patterns.
• Adapt and extend existing automation frameworks to support major enterprise integration and platform initiatives.
• Build comprehensive automated coverage across UI and API layers, using tools such as Postman for API validation.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines so quality checks run continuously alongside development.
• Partner with architects, developers, product managers, delivery teams, and QA specialists throughout the SDLC to clarify requirements and establish effective acceptance criteria.
• Define comprehensive test plans based on product and design specifications, including URDs, PRDs, and HLDs.
• Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for major initiatives, including new partner and client integrations.
• Review and execute manual test cases when required, validating functionality against test plans and incorporating relevant scenarios into automated regression suites.
• Use monitoring signals, incident reviews, and customer feedback to identify quality gaps and opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with delivery leadership and stakeholders to prioritize automation coverage according to business and technical priorities.
• Promote scalable QA practices, documentation, workflows, and standards that can be adopted across teams.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate test development and maintenance, while sharing effective approaches and practices with colleagues.
• Take ownership of overall product quality, contributing beyond test execution to continuous improvement and quality strategy.

Requirements

• 5+ years of QA experience testing SaaS, cloud-based, or comparable software applications, with strong knowledge of the full software development lifecycle.
• At least 2 years of hands-on experience developing and maintaining automated testing frameworks using Playwright, Cypress, or similar technologies.
• Strong experience with TypeScript and/or Go.
• Demonstrated automation-first experience, with a track record of building reliable automated coverage rather than relying primarily on manual testing.
• Experience with end-to-end testing across both UI and API layers.
• Practical API testing experience with tools such as Postman.
• Strong understanding of test architecture and scalable automation patterns, including Page Object Model, data factories, and separation of concerns.
• Experience with relational databases such as MySQL is an advantage.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and experience working within rapid release cycles.
• Familiarity with test management platforms such as Allure TestOps is desirable.
• Experience in SaaS, fintech, banking, insurance, or other financial services environments is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business and product requirements into meaningful, risk-based test coverage.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the confidence to work directly with technical and business stakeholders.
• Ability to proactively recommend quality strategies and solutions rather than waiting for direction.
• Strong ownership, initiative, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience using AI tools to improve testing workflows is highly valued; experience building AI agents or applications for testing is an additional advantage.
• Comfortable working collaboratively across teams and influencing quality practices beyond your immediate responsibilities.
