Paralucent is seeking a Senior QA Automation Engineer to lead quality engineering for a complex enterprise workflow and case-management platform. You will build the automation strategy and ensure requirements are traced through functional, integration, end-to-end, performance, resilience, security, accessibility, RPA and AI/model testing.
The ideal candidate treats quality as a delivery system, not a final testing phase.
What You'll Do
- Create the test strategy, automation architecture, environment/data plan and quality gates for incremental releases.
- Translate acceptance criteria, controls and non-functional requirements into executable tests and evidence.
- Automate API, UI, workflow, document, integration and regression testing.
- Design end-to-end scenarios covering intake, classification, routing, information retrieval, approvals, exceptions, dispatch, closure and audit.
- Test failure handling, retries, reconciliation, unavailable systems, low-confidence AI results and manual fallback.
- Coordinate performance, resilience, disaster-recovery, accessibility and security testing with specialist teams.
- Lead AI-specific evaluation testing, including false positives/negatives, unsupported outputs, confidence thresholds and human overrides.
- Maintain requirements-to-test-to-evidence traceability and production-readiness reporting.
- Support UAT, defect triage, root-cause analysis, release decisions and post-production monitoring.
- Coach engineers on shift-left testing and testability.
What Success Looks Like
- Critical user journeys and controls have automated regression coverage.
- Defects are detected before UAT and production, with improving escape and rework trends.
- Every production release has complete, reviewable test evidence.
- Integration, RPA, AI and fallback scenarios are tested under realistic conditions.
- Quality reporting gives decision-makers a clear view of release risk.
- 7+ years in quality engineering or test automation for enterprise applications.
- Strong experience automating UI, API, integration and end-to-end tests using modern frameworks.
- Experience with workflow/case management, complex integrations and regulated production releases.
- Experience in banking/financial services preferred; regulated-industry experience accepted.
- Practical knowledge of performance, accessibility, security, resilience and disaster-recovery testing.
- Experience with CI/CD quality gates, test-data management, defect analytics and traceability.
- Strong analytical and communication skills.
Preferred Experience
- Experience testing OCR, AI/ML or human-in-the-loop recommendations.
- Experience testing RPA and legacy-system integrations.
- Experience with bilingual applications and WCAG validation.
- ISTQB or comparable quality certification.
Role Scorecard: Illustrative Measures
Final targets and cadence will be confirmed for the specific assignment. Typical measures include:
- Automated regression coverage
- Defect escape and severity trends
- Test execution reliability
- Requirements-to-evidence traceability
- Performance/resilience results
- UAT defect rate and turnaround
- Release-readiness evidence timeliness
