As a Senior QA Engineer, you will own quality for assigned features across the full lifecycle—from requirements through production readiness. Key responsibilities include designing and executing test cases for front-end, API, and integration testing; conducting risk-based test planning to identify critical scenarios and edge cases; ensuring test coverage for Commercial and FedRAMP customers; and collaborating with product and development teams to resolve issues. You will support system integration testing and CI/CD workflows, identify automation opportunities, and contribute to building test automation frameworks.
A critical senior-level differentiator is mentoring junior QA engineers, reviewing their test cases and automation, and sharing best practices. You will participate in requirement and design discussions, review acceptance criteria, and identify testability gaps and risks before development begins. The role requires working independently with minimal supervision while proactively communicating progress and blockers.
