QA with Automation

Role Overview

Drive the automation of quality across our wealth management delivery teams in Singapore. As a QA with Automation you will design, build and own the automated test suites that run on every build — spanning UI, API and regression layers — and embed them into CI/CD pipelines so that defects surface within minutes rather than at the end of a test cycle. The role combines hands-on framework engineering with the analytical rigour of functional testing in a secure, regulated banking environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain automated test suites across UI, API and regression layers for business-critical applications
• Own a maintainable automation framework, applying sound engineering practice: version control, code review, and reusable page objects and fixtures
• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines so that every build is gated by an automated quality check
• Automate service-layer validation of REST APIs, covering request and response contracts, error paths, and data integrity
• Identify the highest-value candidates for automation and maintain a pragmatic balance between automated and exploratory manual testing
• Investigate failures through structured root cause analysis, distinguishing genuine defects from environment, data or test fragility
• Keep the suite fast and trustworthy by actively eliminating flaky tests and managing test data
• Report coverage, pass rates and defect trends to stakeholders, making quality visible across the delivery lifecycle

Professional Requirements

• Proven experience as a QA Automation Engineer within Agile/Scrum delivery teams
• Strong hands-on expertise with a modern automation framework such as Playwright, Selenium or Cypress
• Sound programming ability in at least one of Java, Python, TypeScript or JavaScript, sufficient to build and refactor framework code
• Hands-on experience automating REST API tests using tools such as Postman, REST Assured or equivalent libraries
• Practical experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps), with Git as the version control system
• Good SQL skills for test data preparation and back-end validation of results
• Working knowledge of Jira; Xray or comparable test management tooling is an advantage
• Domain knowledge in banking, wealth management or financial services is a strong advantage
• ISTQB certification and exposure to performance testing (JMeter, k6) are desirable

Personal Skills

• Engineering mindset applied to testing, with a genuine interest in building maintainable tooling rather than one-off scripts
• Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership over the quality of what the team ships
• Accurate, methodical and detail-oriented, without losing sight of delivery priorities
• Able to explain quality risks clearly to developers, product owners and business stakeholders
• Collaborative team player with a pragmatic, solution-focused approach
