What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer, Quality Platform position at Jobgether?
This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Quality Platform in Canada.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and product quality, focused on building the systems that ensure complex financial software behaves correctly at every layer. You will help design and scale validation strategies across UI, GraphQL APIs, and partner-facing REST services in a fast-moving engineering environment. Rather than acting as a traditional QA gatekeeper, you will operate as a builder of testing infrastructure, frameworks, and reliability signals. Your work will directly influence how confidently teams ship features in a high-stakes, correctness-driven domain. You will collaborate closely with product engineers to define the right testing depth and coverage for each system. This is a hands-on engineering role where quality is treated as a core part of product development, not a separate function.
- Design and evolve the quality engineering strategy across UI, API, data, and partner-facing systems, ensuring scalable and maintainable validation coverage.
- Build and enhance automated test frameworks and end-to-end testing solutions focused on high-value workflows and strong signal quality.
- Develop robust API validation strategies for GraphQL and REST services, including contract testing, schema validation, and regression coverage.
- Collaborate with engineers to determine appropriate testing layers (unit, integration, API, contract, E2E, observability, or exploratory testing).
- Improve CI/CD testing practices to ensure reliable feedback loops across pull requests, staging, and production environments.
- Integrate AI-assisted tools thoughtfully to accelerate testing workflows while maintaining strong engineering judgment.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to translate real customer workflows into effective automated test coverage and quality signals.
- Help define release readiness standards and improve overall confidence in software delivery.
Requirements:
- 7 years of experience in software engineering, quality engineering, SDET, or similar technical roles.
- Strong programming skills with the ability to build production-grade systems, not just test scripts.
- Proven experience designing and maintaining automated testing frameworks for complex SaaS platforms.
- Hands-on experience with modern UI automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
- Strong API testing experience, including GraphQL and REST services.
- Experience testing complex distributed systems involving state, permissions, async workflows, and third-party integrations.
- Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines and testing strategies across the software delivery lifecycle.
- Pragmatic approach to testing strategy, with the ability to balance coverage, cost, and signal quality.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate risk, trade-offs, and quality decisions clearly.
- Curiosity about AI-assisted development tools, balanced with sound engineering judgment.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation package
- 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage
- Flexible PTO policy and 10 observed holidays
- $1,000 home office setup budget
- $2,400 annual co-working budget
- $600 learning and development budget
- 401(k) retirement savings plan
- Remote-first work environment within the U.S. or Canada
- Opportunity to work on high-impact, correctness-critical financial systems
- Exposure to modern fintech and accounting infrastructure innovation.
