This role strengthens delivery quality by embedding quality, validation, and automation directly into engineering practices. It reflects a shift away from traditional manual QA toward a quality-focused engineering mindset aligned to an AI-assisted delivery model.

The role contributes across the delivery lifecycle, working closely with engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to ensure systems are reliable, scalable, and validated through automated and risk-based approaches.

This position is not a traditional QA role. Quality is treated as a shared engineering responsibility, supported by automation and thoughtful validation rather than manual execution.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Quality Engineering & Development: Contribute to software development with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and validation. Embed quality practices directly into development workflows to ensure consistent and scalable outcomes.
  • Automation & Testing: Build, maintain, and evolve automated tests and validation mechanisms across systems, services, and data flows. Reduce reliance on manual testing by increasing automation coverage.
  • AI-Assisted Validation: Review and validate AI-assisted outputs, including code, test cases, and data flows, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and alignment with standards and risk expectations.
  • Risk-Based Quality Strategy: Partner with the Tech Lead to define and implement quality standards and risk-based testing approaches. Identify critical paths, risks, and dependencies across systems.
  • Integration & End-to-End Validation: Support end-to-end and cross-system integration validation, ensuring that integrated components function correctly across complex platform environments.
  • Continuous Improvement & Automation Adoption: Continuously improve testing and validation processes by identifying opportunities to automate manual activities and streamline delivery workflows.

What we are looking for:

  • Post-secondary degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience in software development, testing, or quality engineering roles.
  • Strong understanding of testing concepts, automation frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Ability to analyze system behavior and identify quality risks and gaps.
  • Experience working with automated testing tools and validation approaches.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills.
  • Ability to work with AI-assisted tools while maintaining critical judgment.

What will make you stand out:

  • Experience transitioning from manual QA to automation-led quality models.
  • Exposure to enterprise platforms or integrated systems.
  • Familiarity with DevOps or continuous delivery practices.
  • Bilingual in both official languages (English and French).
