Senior Associate Engineer, TSG Quality Assurance

Quality Thinking and Risk Assessment (25%)

• Understand functional and non-functional requirements and the business context; ask what could go wrong for a real user, not just what the spec says to check.

• Review user stories and acceptance criteria before work begins; flag gaps, ambiguities, and missing edge cases early.
• Build a mental model of the product over time: how users move through it, where failures hurt them most, and which risks matter.
• Participate in requirement meetings and design walkthroughs; contribute test-focused questions and input into acceptance criteria.

Test Planning, Execution, and Defect Management (50%)

• Design test strategies and test cases prioritizing coverage by risk and user impact

• Participate in design reviews with an adversarial mindset; raise edge cases and failure modes before development begins
• Use AI tools to generate test cases and test data; review AI-generated output for meaningful assertions and coverage gaps
• Validate self-healed automation scripts to confirm they still assert meaningful behaviour
• Conduct exploratory, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing including adversarial scenarios and boundary conditions
• Validate LLM outputs, AI responses, and agent behaviors for accuracy, consistency, hallucinations, and prompt sensitivity
• Support prompt regression testing; flag untracked prompt changes that could introduce regression risk
• Conduct API and contract interface testing
• Review AI-generated synthetic test data for realism and bias
• Log defects with clear reproduction steps; perform initial root cause analysis and track to closure
• Write and maintain automated test scripts under senior guidance; keep regression suite current
• Support release readiness and production validation checks under senior guidance

Team Collaboration (25%)

• Contribute to the application test strategy, including the appropriate balance of exploratory, manual, and automated testing, working with QA leadership and the scrum team.

• Participate fully in all scrum ceremonies, including standups, planning, reviews, and retrospectives, with a quality lens.
• Raise concerns, risks, and impediments to the scrum team and management promptly; communicate testing progress and blockers with clarity.
• Support sprint goals, including activities outside the QA function when requested.
• Embrace new tools and AI-assisted ways of working adopted by the team; stay current with evolving quality engineering practices.
