Roles & Responsibilities

·        Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts using frameworks like Selenium, Cucumber (BDD), or similar tools, ensuring full alignment with sprint deliverables and regression needs.

·         Integrate and maintain test automation within CI/CD pipelines to support continuous testing and early defect detection.

·        Drive the development of reliable, scalable, and reusable automation frameworks to support end-to-end, functional, regression, and integration testing.

·        Automate test data generation and environment configuration to enable consistent, fast, and accurate test execution across test stages.

·        Continuously improve test coverage through automation by identifying gaps in regression, sanity, and smoke test suites.

·        Collaborate with Business Analysts and Developers to understand functional and technical requirements and translate them into automated test cases using BDD (e.g., Gherkin syntax).

·        Execute both manual and automated test scripts, logging defects in JIRA with detailed documentation and traceability.

·        Proactively identify opportunities to replace manual testing with automation and contribute to faster and more reliable sprint cycles.

·        Ensure QA deliverables and automation efforts align with defined quality gates, Agile standards, and testing processes.

·        Conduct code reviews and optimization of automation scripts for performance, reusability, and maintainability.

·        Actively participate in Agile ceremonies, collaborating with cross-functional team members to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle.

·        Lead or support Sprint demos by showcasing automated test outcomes and validating user story acceptance criteria.

·        Track and report automation metrics such as test coverage, pass/fail rates, execution time, and defect density, providing insights for continuous improvement.

·        Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on test failures or production issues and implement corrective and preventive actions through automation.

·        Ensure zero defect leakage into UAT and production by enforcing test automation as a first-class citizen within the delivery pipeline.

Experience with GitHub Copilot or similar AI-powered tools to assist in test script authoring, code optimization, and intelligent recommendations is a strong advantage.

Requirements:

Skills

·        Degree/master’s in computer science, Business IT, or other equivalent fields would be a plus.

·        Knowledge in Supply Chain Finance, General Global Banking, and Trade Finance products would be a plus.

·        Minimum 4-6 years of working experience.

·        Proficient in spoken and written English language.

·        Proficient in spoken and written Mandarin language is an added advantage.

Technical Competencies:

·        Experience with Agile and DevOps processes: Strong background in Agile methodologies, and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure quality throughout the development lifecycle.

·        Proficiency in JIRA defect logging and Zephyr Scale: Experience in using JIRA for defect tracking and test case management, alongside Zephyr Scale for detailed test planning and execution.

·        Programming knowledge: Strong understanding of programming languages such as Java, SQL, HTML, C, Python, Perl, CSS, and XML. Proficiency in Java and Python is a plus for test script development.

·        Hands-on automation scripting experience: Extensive experience in developing and executing automation test scripts using frameworks like Selenium, Cucumber (BDD) or similar technologies.

·        Test data automation and management: Skilled in automating test data generation and ensuring seamless test execution across various environments, minimizing manual intervention.

·        SQL expertise for test validation: Strong proficiency in writing and optimizing SQL queries for validating data and verifying backend functionality during automation testing.

·        API testing proficiency: Solid experience with API testing tools like Postman, SoapUI, or similar, including the ability to mock API responses using Service Virtualization to decouple testing from external dependencies.

·        Cloud-based testing: Familiarity with AWS and cloud-based testing environments, enabling the execution of tests in scalable, distributed infrastructures.

Added advantage: Experience with GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted tools to accelerate test script development, enhance code quality, and provide intelligent suggestions for automation code
