Your Role in Supporting Our Members: As an Engineering Lead, Quality, Non‑Functional , you will play a senior technical role responsible for ensuring the quality engineering capabilities, performance, scalability, reliability, resilience, observability and operational readiness of member‑facing platforms through hands‑on engineering leadership and execution of automation‑first practices across the SDLC. This position focuses on designing and implementing engineering solutions, leveraging deep technical expertise in automation, frameworks, tooling, AI‑driven/agentic techniques, and non‑functional validation. This is not a traditional QE Lead role. We are looking for a hands‑on senior engineer (senior Performance SDET) to lead a team of test engineers in a dotted line capacity building scalable, code‑driven quality solutions, not just manage testing activities.
This is a Full‑time, Permanent role based at Vancity head office. Our head office is based in Vancouver, but we are open to candidates in BC and Ontario. While this position provides a hybrid work arrangement,



you will be expected to be on‑site for events and business demands when needed.
How You'll Make an Impact: Quality (Non‑Functional) Strategy & Planning Translating non‑functional quality engineering strategy, standards and technical direction into executable plans and approaches aligned to business and delivery needs
Designing and implementing scalable, data‑driven validation approaches that translate performance, resilience, availability and scalability objectives into measurable engineering initiatives
Developing and contributing to engineering quality metrics (e.g. non‑functional coverage, test reliability metrics, CI/CD feedback loops) through instrumentation and KPIs
Implementing and enforcing quality gates (coverage, performance thresholds, reliability criteria) within Dev‑owned CI/CD pipelines
Developing enterprise approaches for generating representative performance and resilience‑testing datasets and solutions, including synthetic data generation, masking and anonymization
Partnering with engineering teams to improve monitoring, logging, tracing and telemetry capabilities using observability platforms for performance analysis and reliability validation
Supporting release‑readiness reviews by validating non‑functional quality requirements and operational risks
Technical Leadership Providing technical leadership as a senior individual contributor to the Quality Engineering team,



operating as a “first among equals” within Performance SDET community
Influencing, guiding and coaching Performance SDETs through hands‑on collaboration in various areas including coding, design/engineering, analysis, etc.
Leading by example through hands‑on design, framework development, coding and reviews, setting a high standard for the quality engineering craft on performance engineering, resilience validation and observability
Influencing engineering decisions through technical credibility and sound business judgement, not formal authority
Identifying risks and guiding teams through addressing complex performance, capacity and reliability challenges and execution leadership
Performance Engineering Designing, building and evolving scalable performance testing frameworks and capabilities.
Establishing repeatable approaches for load, stress, endurance, spike, capacity and volume testing.
Developing realistic workload‑modelling strategies that represent member behavior, application usage patterns and transaction profiles.
Building reusable tooling and pipelines that enable performance testing as part of continuous delivery.
Analyzing performance bottlenecks across applications, APIs, databases, integrations and infrastructure layers.
Partnering with engineering teams to define performance SLAs, SLOs and system‑capacity targets.
Exploring and implementing AI‑assisted and agentic testing approaches to improve coverage, speed, and maintainability of our Performance test framework
Resilience & Reliability Engineering Leading resilience‑testing initiatives for critical member‑facing and enterprise platforms by defining and implementing fault‑injection, failure‑simulation and chaos‑engineering practices.
