JOB DESCRIPTION

Quality Assurance Engineer

Security Implementation & Integration Quality Assurance | Enterprise Security Program

Experience

• 5 - 9 yrs experience

Employment type

Full-time

Working model

Global collaboration; flexible hours as needed

Role overview

We are looking for a proactive and quality-focused QA Engineer to support information security implementation and integration projects. The ideal candidate brings strong IT fundamentals, a disciplined approach to delivery, and a genuine commitment to learning. Direct QA or security-testing experience is valuable, but transferable experience from any IT domain is welcome when supported by the right mindset, ownership, and attention to detail.

What matters most: ownership, reliability, learning agility, collaboration, and consistent follow-through.

Key responsibilities

• Quality planning and delivery: Understand project requirements, risks, and acceptance criteria; translate them into practical test strategies, plans, scenarios, cases, and data.
• Test execution: Execute functional, integration, system, regression, and exploratory testing across project releases; maintain clear traceability to requirements.
• Defect management: Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through closure; provide concise evidence and work constructively with delivery teams on resolution.
• Security-focused validation: Support testing of security-related solutions and integrations, including negative scenarios, access controls, data handling, and agreed security requirements.
• Automation and efficiency: Contribute to reusable automated tests, test-data management, and integration of suitable tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Quality governance: Follow agreed QA standards, maintain audit-ready evidence, and contribute to quality metrics, status reporting, and release-readiness decisions.
• Collaboration: Partner with product, engineering, operations, information security, and vendor teams across locations and time zones.
• Continuous improvement: Actively identify gaps, suggest pragmatic improvements, share knowledge, and strengthen team practices.

Mindset and behaviours

• • Ownership and accountability: Takes responsibility for outcomes, follows through on commitments, and raises risks early.
  • Commitment and reliability: Demonstrates consistent effort, discipline, and dependability, especially during critical delivery periods.
  • Learning agility: Quickly understands unfamiliar technologies, business processes, and security concepts; actively seeks and applies feedback.
  • Quality mindset: Looks beyond happy-path validation, asks thoughtful questions, and focuses on preventing defects rather than only detecting them.
  • Collaboration and respect: Communicates clearly, works well with diverse stakeholders, and contributes to a supportive, high-performing team environment.
  • Pragmatic problem solving: Uses evidence and sound judgement to balance risk, speed, and quality.

Required qualifications and capabilities

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• At least 5 years of professional experience. Experience may come from software development, application support, infrastructure, cybersecurity, business analysis, operations, testing, or a comparable technology role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand requirements, identify risk, and communicate findings clearly.
• Good written and verbal communication skills and the confidence to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to organize work, manage priorities, meet commitments, and operate effectively with appropriate guidance.
• High attention to detail and a demonstrable commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality outcomes.

Preferred experience

• Hands-on experience in software testing, test management, defect management, or quality engineering.
• Exposure to Agile or Scrum delivery and collaboration in cross-functional teams.
• Familiarity with APIs, databases, web applications, integrations, or cloud-based solutions.
• Exposure to test automation frameworks, scripting, source control, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Awareness of information security principles, security testing approaches, vulnerability management, or secure development practices.
• Experience working with distributed teams, vendor partners, or global stakeholders.

Typical deliverables

• Test strategy or test approach aligned to project risk and scope.
• Test plans, scenarios, cases, scripts, test data, and requirement traceability.
• Clear defect records with reproducible steps and supporting evidence.
• Test execution results, quality metrics, risk summaries, and release-readiness input.
• Automation assets and reusable QA documentation, where applicable.

How success will be measured

• Consistent delivery against agreed commitments and quality standards.
• Clear, accurate, and timely reporting of progress, defects, dependencies, and risks.
• Effective collaboration and constructive challenge within cross-functional teams.
• Growth in domain knowledge, QA capability, and ability to work with increasing independence.
• Meaningful improvement in test coverage, repeatability, and team efficiency.

Why join this team

This role offers the opportunity to build deeper quality-engineering and information-security expertise while contributing to business-critical initiatives. You will work with global stakeholders, learn across technologies and platforms, and help shape practical QA practices in a team that values accountability, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
