Senior QA Engineer

BISTEC Global Services    Remote • Full-time

We're looking for a Senior QA Engineer to lead test strategy, drive automation, and safeguard quality across the full software delivery lifecycle — mentoring the wider QA family along the way.

  • 1-Year Contract (renewable)

What You'll Do

  • Design — lead test strategies, plans, scenarios and cases across functional and non-functional requirements, and review incoming requirements for clarity and completeness.
  • Automate — build and maintain test automation frameworks, integrate them into CI/CD pipelines, manage automation test data, and feed automation results into overall test reporting.
  • Multiply — use AI agents and coding assistants to generate test cases, automation scripts and framework code, and set the standard for how the wider QA team does the same.
  • Execute — create, maintain and run both manual and automated tests; capture results, raise defects and follow the client's defect-management protocols.
  • Validate — perform front-end, back-end and white-box testing to confirm data consistency, system behaviour and code quality.
  • Facilitate — run test planning and review sessions with cross-functional teams, and support UAT planning and execution with business users.
  • Mentor — guide QA engineers, promote best practices, and drive continuous improvement.
  • Report — give clear, timely updates on testing progress, quality risks and quality metrics to both BISTEC and client leadership.

What You'll Bring

  • University degree or diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, Business or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of QA experience across functional, integration and regression testing.
  • 3+ years building and maintaining test automation frameworks integrated into CI/CD.
  • Solid API testing experience — Postman, REST Assured, SoapUI or equivalent.
  • Hands-on with AI test agents in Playwright (or an equivalent — Cypress, Katalon, Testim).
  • Uses AI coding assistants — GitHub Copilot, Claude, AmazonQ or similar — to generate test cases, automation scripts and framework scaffolding, not just autocomplete.
  • Proficient in QA methodologies and SDLC across Agile, Waterfall or Hybrid environments.
  • Comfortable working inside a client's team — strong communication, stakeholder management, and the confidence to demo and explain quality decisions.
  • Self-motivated, adapts quickly, and manages multiple priorities across support, delivery and new work.

Bonus Points

  • Have trained or mentored a team on AI-assisted testing.
  • ISTQB certification — CTFL, CTAL or CT-AI.
  • Cloud platforms, application modernisation or data migration exposure.
  • Performance, security or vulnerability testing background.
  • Experience delivering system demos to stakeholders.
