Sr QE Engineer II, Enterprise Practices

Responsibilities

• Quality Strategy & Governance (Program-Level)
• Co‑define quality strategy for a portfolio/program aligned to business outcomes and architectural direction.
• Establish and socialize program standards for test design, test data management, environments, release readiness, and defect prevention.
• Maintain a " fit-for-purpose " approach-ensuring practices remain pragmatic, sustainable, and tuned to delivery speed and system complexity.
• Coaching & Capability Development
• Coach QEs, QE Leads, developers, and SDETs through pairing , test code reviews , and guided implementation of frameworks and practices.
• Teach and reinforce shift-left , risk-based testing , contract testing , and quality ownership across roles.
• Build and maintain playbooks/patterns (e.g., API-first testing, contract testing templates, deterministic UI strategy, test data strategies).
• Mentor aspiring coaches and senior QEs to scale the coaching model.
• Automation & Tooling (Pragmatic, Deterministic)
• Guide adoption of automation at the right layers (unit, API, contract, integration, UI, performance); prioritize fast, reliable feedback .
• Review and evolve program-level automation architecture for scalability, maintainability, observability, and cost of ownership.
• Ensure clean integration with CI/CD , trunk-based development, and quality gates (e.g., flakiness thresholds, test health checks, mutation testing).
• Enable AI-assisted capabilities where they're explainable and useful (e.g., test impact analysis, log clustering, flaky test detection)-with guardrails to avoid opaque/low-signal automation.
• Technical Authority & Quality Architecture
• Promote engineering foundations: testability , observability , contract testing , idempotent test setup , data isolation , and deterministic verification .
• Advise on integration risk , platform dependencies , and non-functional testing (performance/reliability, basic security & accessibility signals).
• Partner with architects/dev leads to ensure quality is designed-in , not bolted on.
• Collaboration & Influence
• Partner with product, engineering, DevOps/Platform, and architecture to embed quality early in design and roadmap planning.
• Facilitate alignment on quality tradeoffs , standards , test scope , definition of done , and release criteria across teams.
• Lead or contribute to workshops, retrospectives, and cross-team improvement initiatives .
• Metrics, Risk & Continuous Improvement
• Define actionable metrics: escaped defects , test stability/flakiness , coverage effectiveness (by risk area) , lead time to detect , and MTTR for test failures .
• Drive portfolio-level visibility and signal quality using test management and analytics platforms (e.g., Zephyr Scale/TestRail + dashboards).
• Use data to identify systemic issues and run targeted improvement programs (e.g., flaky test burn-downs, API-first adoption, contract coverage expansion).
• Apply analytics to inform decisions- never as a substitute for engineering judgment .
• Required Qualifications

Requirements

• 10+ years in Quality Engineering or Software Engineering with a strong QE focus.
• 5-7+ years in QE Lead, Senior QE, or Quality Coaching/Enablement roles.
• Demonstrated impact across multiple teams improving automation effectiveness, release confidence, and quality outcomes.
• Technical Skills
• Strong knowledge of modern SDLCs: Agile , DevOps , CI/CD , trunk-based development , feature flags .
• Test strategy & design: risk-based testing , equivalence/BC techniques , property-based testing (where applicable) , test data strategies .
• Automation expertise across layers:
• API/Contract: REST/GraphQL tools (e.g., REST Assured, SuperTe
