Senior QA Engineer (Canada)

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior QA Engineer to help reduce manual regression effort, improve release quality, and enable faster, more reliable delivery. The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on test automation expertise with strong performance testing skills, modern CI/CD quality practices, and the ability to coach a team toward QA best practices.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites to expand regression coverage and reduce manual effort.
  

• Develop and execute performance and load tests to validate system reliability and scalability.
  

• Integrate quality gates into CI/CD pipelines to ensure consistent, reliable releases.
  

• Apply AI-assisted quality engineering techniques to accelerate test creation and improve coverage.
  

• Coach and mentor the team on QA best practices, standards, and tooling.
  

• Collaborate with developers and delivery leads to improve delivery predictability and reduce operational risk.
  

Required Skills & Experience

• Test automation and regression coverage — designing and scaling automated test frameworks.
  

• Robot Framework — strong hands-on automation experience.
