Why Join Us?

Shape the future of Quality Engineering and help deliver exceptional digital experiences for Blue Rewards customers.

This is a high-impact Individual Contributor role where you'll lead the development and execution of QA strategy across mobile, web, API, database, and data platforms. Partnering closely with developers, testers, and stakeholders, you'll drive testing excellence, increase automation capabilities, and improve software quality at scale.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• •Strategic influence: Shape testing practices and quality standards across multiple teams.
• •Innovation-focused: Lead initiatives involving automation, AI services, and modern quality engineering.
• •Broad technical exposure: Work across mobile, web, APIs, databases, and data services.
• •Visible impact: Improve product quality, performance, and customer satisfaction for Blue Rewards.
• •Growth potential: Opportunity to evolve into a people leadership role as the QA function expands.

KEY Responsibilities:

• •Ensures the quality of the products that technology delivers, working closely with all applications, common services/middleware, and infrastructure teams throughout the development/engineering lifecycle.
• •Reviews and interprets all documentation related to testing, including business requirements and functional and design specifications, to provide input to the project team on the planning of testing activities.
• •Provides guidance on reviewing, evaluating and driving requirements for testability to ensure review processes are adhered to.
• •Leads initiatives. Able to coordinate resources and manage problems to resolution when necessary.
• •Manages and leads the development and implementation of complete test strategies.
• •Designs and supports the implementation of best-in-class testing strategies for complex solutions, across multiple platforms and businesses/groups.
• •Recommends approaches to streamline and integrate technological processes and systems in the organization to improve overall efficiency and improve the bank.
• •Drives the testing automation capabilities.
• •In the future, this role may include managing very small team of QA’s

CORE Skills and Experience:

Minimum 5+ years’ experience with coding expertise in Python or Java with a proven track record of building, maintaining, and scaling complex automation frameworks

Minimum 5+ years’ experience in mobile test automation frameworks leveraging Apptium or other tools to optimize test execution for local and cloud based testing

Minimum 5+ years’ experience with writing and maintaining Jenkins pipelines to integrate automated testing and reduce cycle times

Minimum 5+ years’ experience with leveraging Postman for API testing, being able to develop and execute parametrized, automated validation.

Minimum 5+years’ experience with performance testing tools like BrowserStack/Selenium to build and scale distributed, parallel cloud/web testing.

Minimum 5+ years’ experience with engineering performance, load, and stress test using Jmeter or equivalent performance testing tools.

Strong experience developing and leading complex test plans across multiple teams and complex systems: This is required to coordinate work across teams to meet deadlines and ensure thorough testing is executed.

Strong experience developing QA strategy, roadmaps and executing QA driven initiatives: Re-work the existing QA roadmap gathering feedback from stakeholders to then socialize within the organization and build initiatives to accomplish organization and QA goals

Strong experience with developing synthetic data or data mocking, data masking or purging: In order to ensure testing is not reliant on PI or sensitive data, significant experience in test data management is required (ie experience with developing synthetic data or data mocking, data masking or purging)

Nice-to-have Skills:

• •Minimum 5+ years’ experience with embedding code quality controls into the engineering workflow ideally with SonarQube .
• •Experience with RunScope or Blazemeter
• •People Management experience
