Job Summary:

  • The GRS Quality Engineering organization is seeking a senior, hands-on Solutions Engineer to design, deliver, and scale modern quality-engineering platforms across a large enterprise application portfolio.
  • This role focuses on Gen-AI-driven test automation, quality insights, performance engineering, data validation, and deep collaboration with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to embed observability throughout the SDLC.
  • You will combine strong technical leadership with strategic thinking to enable global teams to ship software faster, safer, and with greater confidence.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of scalable quality-engineering solutions aligned with enterprise architecture, guardrails, and roadmaps.
  • Partner with SRE teams to embed metrics, logs, and traces into automated testing and quality gates to reduce MTTR and improve incident readiness.
  • Drive Gen-AI/LLM initiatives including self-healing tests, autonomous test generation, and AI-assisted defect triagetaking successful prototypes into production.
  • Guide teams on Shift-Left testing, DevTestOps, contract testing, performance engineering, data validation, and program-level quality governance.
  • Integrate and optimize vendor tools (e.g., PractiTest, LambdaTest, LoadRunner, UIPath) to maximize ROI.
  • Collaborate with product, architecture, engineering, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable quality solutions.
  • Support agile delivery by applying testing strategies, standards, and tooling across application teams.
  • Participate in incident management, root-cause analysis, and post-mortems; provide preventative recommendations.
  • Mentor and coach engineers while fostering global knowledge sharing and continuous improvement.
  • Contribute to roadmap planning, funding prioritization, and documentation of architectures and quality standards.


We encourage you to apply if you are:

  • Strategic Partner with the ability to align business outcomes, customer experience, and technical architecture.
  • Systems-Level Engineer comfortable designing and whiteboarding end-to-end flows for microservices, data contracts, and event-driven systems.
  • AI-Curious Practitioner who turns Gen-AI experimentation into real production value.
  • Change Agent skilled at influencing across dev, ops, SRE, product, and leadership.
  • Mentor & Multiplier who elevates team capability through coaching and collaboration.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years of hands-on software or quality engineering experience with technical leadership.
  • Proven experience building large-scale test automation frameworks on AWS.
  • Hands-on expertise with at least two: Playwright, UIPath, RestAssured, Postman, Pact.
  • Strong CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar).
  • Solid knowledge of cloud-native architectures, microservices, Docker/Kubernetes, and IaC.
  • Experience with performance testing (k6, JMeter, LoadRunner) and observability (Datadog).
  • Exposure to Gen-AI/LLM-powered testing (Copilot, OpenAI, or custom solutions).
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Certifications (AWS, testing, or observability) are a plus.
