Senior Application Quality Engineer

The Senior Application Quality Engineer owns software quality assurance for enterprise business applications from requirements definition through production validation. This role identifies gaps in requirements, establishes risk-based test coverage, performs hands-on validation, and provides evidence-based release-readiness recommendations.

What You Will Do

Partner with business analysts to review requirements, translate approved requirements into risk-based test strategies, own functional and integration testing, and validate end-to-end enterprise application workflows.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role requires a strong understanding of software quality engineering, experience with functional and integration testing, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively across business analysis, development, and operations.

Requirements

• Five or more years of software quality engineering experience with demonstrable ownership of test planning, execution, defect management, and release validation for enterprise applications
• Ability to turn business requirements and workflows into actionable test scenarios and to identify ambiguous, incomplete, or untestable acceptance criteria
• Hands-on experience with functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing of web applications, APIs, and data-driven business processes
• Strong SQL querying skills in Microsoft SQL Server
• Ability to evaluate application results, identify data inconsistencies, and document reproducible defects with objective evidence
• Experience creating, maintaining, or coordinating automated functional, API, or regression tests using established QA frameworks and tools
• Ability to understand application and integration behavior well enough to challenge assumptions, explain defects, and recommend risk-based improvements
• Strong written communication, defect evidence, cross-functional facilitation, and experience working within a structured SDLC and release process
