Job Description:

A Quebec-based insurer is seeking a test automation specialist to enhance the quality of its savings ecosystem in a high-volume transaction environment that combines modern and legacy systems.

- The core of the role is to automate critical validations and thoroughly diagnose problems. A significant portion of the work involves integrations, APIs, and backend processing, with genuine investigative work across application layers. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team already in deployment and contribute to preventing defects rather than performing end-of-line testing.
- The client is seeking a QA specialist with a robust technical background in automation, integrated into a Fusion Team, whose value lies equally in investigation and automation.
- The environment is high-volume transactional and combines modern and legacy systems, with validations focused on integrations, APIs, and backend processing. The priority is creating value through automation and defect prevention, not manually executing tests. The ideal candidate will understand data flows, diagnose issues across application layers using logs, database data, and monitoring, and then automate relevant validations. This profile is closer to that of a Software Development Engineer (SDET)



than a traditional functional tester.

- To be confirmed with the Community Manager: two answers are pending from the client: the scope of automation (API and backend only, or also UI and end-to-end) and the existing automation stack (language and framework).

These two points will determine the table and grid, which will be updated upon receipt.

- 8+ years of experience in software quality assurance and test automation

- Design and maintenance of automated test scripts or frameworks
