Software QA Engineer Lead
Description
About Neutron and the project
Neutron is a Singapore technology company that builds and runs mission-critical digital platforms for government, regulated industries and large enterprises. We are building a delivery team in Kuala Lumpur for a large-scale platform modernisation programme.
The programme replaces a long-running legacy system with a cloud-native platform on AWS, with configurable workflows, a new user experience and integration with external systems. It is a multi-year engagement covering delivery and post-go-live support.
These roles are full-time, based in Kuala Lumpur and on-site with the client. The start date is subject to project confirmation.
About the role
You will lead quality on a high-volume, business-critical platform with strict performance targets, and hand the client a regression suite they can keep running after go-live.
Key responsibilities
Own the test strategy and plan across functional, integration, system (SIT), user acceptance (UAT), regression and non-functional testing.
Lead a team of test analysts, automation testers and a performance tester.
Build an automated regression suite in the CI/CD pipeline, documented well enough to hand over to the client.
Plan and oversee performance and load testing against defined targets for volume, concurrent users and response time.
Test integrations with external systems, notifications and identity services.
Run defect management and triage with development and business analysis, and report quality status and risks to project leadership.
Prepare and support client UAT, including test data, scenarios and user guidance.
Work with the security lead on security testing and remediation checks, and with the migration lead on data migration testing.
