- Define and drive a unified test automation strategy across ILD delivery teams, standardizing secure, scalable tools and frameworks and driving continuous improvement of testing strategies, frameworks, and tools.
- Utilize Symetra-approved tools and technology for quality engineering purposes for the following:
- Partner with engineering and DevOps on CI/CD pipelines as code (YAML) in Azure DevOps, defining the automated test execution those pipelines must include.
- Define the automated quality gates and validation standards for Azure DevOps pipelines — including test execution on pull requests and the criteria for promotion — and partner with engineering and DevOps to implement them and apply release controls.
- Set the standards for extending quality into production through observability — including synthetic and health-check testing of critical paths — and partner with operations and engineering on monitoring, alerting, and incident feedback loops that continuously improve test coverage.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive automated tests spanning integration, UI, end-to-end, performance, and security testing that increase coverage and improve the efficiency and reliability of testing cycles.
- Provide technical direction and mentorship to Software Test Engineers (STEs), SDETs, and delivery-team engineers across ILD delivery teams, leading through influence rather than a direct reporting line and fostering a quality-first mindset.
- Define and track meaningful automation metrics, including coverage, execution results, stability, failure trends, and test effectiveness.
- Lead root-cause analysis for complex automation failures, framework issues, and recurring defects, and implement improvements to prevent recurrence.
- Present and share cloud-based solutions with internal engineering communities for feedback and review.
- Collaborate effectively in a remote team environment using tools such as Microsoft Teams.
- Demonstrated experience defining and implementing an enterprise or cross-team test automation strategy, including standardizing tools and frameworks across multiple delivery teams, mentoring engineers, and influencing delivery teams without direct authority.
- Strong understanding of QA best practices, including shift-left testing, defect triage, and quality metrics, with the ability to use metrics both to drive test coverage, efficiency, and reliability improvements and to communicate automation health and delivery risk to engineering leadership and stakeholders.
