Role Overview:
  • We are seeking a Senior Quality Engineer to support and lead quality initiatives within a core enterprise authentication platform used across Canadian financial services.
  • This platform underpins all consumer and internal authentication flows, making quality, reliability, and security critical.
  • This role sits at the center of multiple transformation initiatives, supporting architecture changes, new project onboarding, and ensuring delivery continuity across onshore and offshore teams.
  • This is a hands-on senior QE role, not pure management.
  • The ideal consultant brings strong automation, API testing, and authentication domain expertise, and is comfortable owning quality strategy while remaining technically engaged.
  • This team hires senior consultants—individuals who operate independently, think critically, and elevate quality standards.
 
Key Responsibilities:
Quality Ownership & Strategy:
  • Own quality for authentication products and services supporting high-volume consumer traffic
  • Define and execute end-to-end quality strategy across UI, API, and backend layers
  • Embed quality early in the SDLC, partnering closely with engineering and architecture teams
  • Ensure reliability, security, and scalability during ongoing platform changes
Automation & Framework Development:
  • Design, build, and enhance automation frameworks (30–40% greenfield development)
  • Develop automation from scratch while integrating with existing platforms
  • Maintain and scale automation suites using Selenium and Playwright
  • Drive test coverage and quality metrics across multiple projects
API & Authentication Testing:
  • Lead API testing for authentication and identity services
  • Validate login flows, MFA, session management, token handling, and authorization
  • Perform functional, regression, and integration testing across services
  • Ensure authentication endpoints meet performance and security expectations
Cross-Team & Vendor Leadership:
  • Act as a lead QE across multiple concurrent initiatives
  • Collaborate with internal teams and multiple external vendors
  • Manage onshore and offshore QA resources, ensuring delivery is not impacted by staffing delays
  • Mentor team members and promote consistent QE best practices
Must-Have Qualifications:
  • 8–10 years of Quality Engineering experience
    (5+ years may be considered for strong senior profiles)
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Selenium
    • Playwright
    • API testing (designing, writing, and executing tests)
  • Strong understanding of authentication and identity workflows
  • Experience working in financial services or banking environments
  • Proven ability to:
    • Write automation scripts from scratch
    • Enhance and maintain existing automation platforms
  • Exposure to AI-assisted testing or intelligent automation
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
Nice-to-Have:
  • Backend or service-level testing experience
  • Experience combining internal platform testing with vendor solutions
  • Exposure to large-scale architecture modernization initiatives
Soft Skills & Mindset:
  • Strong ownership and accountability
  • Positive, solution-oriented approach
  • Ability to think independently and challenge assumptions
  • Team-first mentality with strong collaboration skills
  • Comfortable operating in complex, fast-paced enterprise environments
Additional Notes:
  • Multiple roles approved; additional hiring expected in early April
  • Current environment includes 4 active projects with dedicated QE support
  • High-visibility platform with enterprise-wide impact
