Role Summary

We are seeking a Senior Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer with strong experience testing complex, integrated financial systems, ideally within mortgage or lending environments. This role will be responsible for designing and executing comprehensive test strategies across UI, API, integration, and performance layers to ensure the delivery of high quality, scalable, and compliant mortgage technology solutions. The ideal candidate is a hands on tester with deep automation expertise, strong understanding of system integrations, and experience validating end to end lending workflows in regulated environments.

Key Responsibilities

Test Strategy & Planning

• Define and execute comprehensive test strategies covering functional, integration, performance, and non functional testing for mortgage and lending applications.
• Ensure test approaches align with enterprise quality standards, regulatory expectations, and delivery timelines.
• Collaborate with delivery, product, and architecture teams to embed quality throughout the development lifecycle.

Test Automation (UI, API, Database)

• Design, build, and maintain automated UI tests using Playwright.
• Develop and execute API and service level tests using Bruno or similar tools.
• Perform database validation to ensure data integrity across upstream and downstream lending systems.
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous testing and early defect detection.

Integration & Service Testing

• Validate data flows, business rules, and hand offs across integrated systems supporting end to end mortgage journeys.
• Execute service and integration tests to ensure system interoperability, data consistency, and error handling.
• Identify and troubleshoot issues related to APIs, messaging, and system dependencies.

Performance & Non Functional Testing

• Design and execute performance, load, and stress tests using JMeter to validate system scalability and reliability.
• Analyse performance results, identify bottlenecks, and work with engineering teams to support remediation.
• Contribute to non functional testing covering reliability, resilience, and operational readiness.

Mortgage & Domain Validation

• Validate mortgage and lending workflows such as application submission, underwriting decisions, fulfillment, and funding processes.
• Ensure technology solutions correctly implement lending rules, policies, and operational requirements.
• Partner with business and BA teams to ensure test coverage reflects real world mortgage scenarios.

Defect Management & Reporting

• Log, track, and manage defects through resolution, providing clear reproduction steps and impact assessment.
• Participate in defect triage and prioritization discussions.
• Provide clear quality metrics, test status, and risk assessments to delivery and leadership teams.
