Test Architect defining testing methodologies and tools for MealSuite's software development. Ensuring efficient testing strategy for a SaaS company delivering foodservice technology solutions.
Responsibilities
Test strategy & standards ownership: Define and own a risk-based, shift-left testing strategy; establish quality gates, test levels, and clear definitions of done across squads.
CI/CD integration: Embed automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines; define pass/fail criteria, flaky-test quarantine policies, and artifact publishing (reports, logs, screenshots).
Test data & environments: Design and maintain strategies for synthetic and seeded test data; oversee environment provisioning, versioning, and configuration management.
Non-functional testing: Implement automated performance, reliability, and baseline security/vulnerability testing with centralized dashboards.
Observability & reporting: Define and track quality metrics (coverage, defect escape rate, MTTR/MTTD, pipeline pass rate) and publish dashboards to support release readiness decisions.
Tooling governance: Evaluate, select, and govern test management and automation tools; drive integrations with issue tracking and requirements systems.
Platform coverage: Ensure comprehensive cross-platform test strategies for web, mobile (Android/iOS), and hardware-adjacent Point of Sale scenarios, including peripherals and connectivity.
Enablement & coaching: Mentor QA and engineering teams through guilds, automation code reviews, and training on testing standards and best practices.
Continuous improvement: Identify quality and delivery bottlenecks, propose process improvements, and lead pilots to increase speed and reliability while managing risk.
Requirements
Modern QA & SDLC expertise: Strong command of contemporary QA and SDLC practices, including risk-based testing, shift-left strategies, and TDD/BDD.
Automation-first mindset: Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and scaling automation frameworks for API, UI, and mobile testing.
Test architecture proficiency: Practical experience with test doubles, contract testing, and test design patterns such as Page Object and Screen Object models.
Test management & traceability: Proven experience using Xray integrated with Jira for test planning, coverage, and reporting.
API testing depth: Solid background in API testing with tools and frameworks such as Postman and RSpec.
Mobile & cross-platform testing: Applied Playwright, AccelQ, and Selenium-based patterns to Android and iOS testing scenarios.
Systems thinking: Ability to view and optimize the full SDLC, improving end-to-end flow rather than local optimizations.
Influence & alignment: Effective at influencing without formal authority by setting standards and driving adoption across multiple squads.
Pragmatic delivery focus: Outcome-oriented, balancing ideal architecture with real-world delivery constraints and prioritizing automation that delivers measurable value.
Clear communication: Comfortable authoring standards and presenting dashboards, insights, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Mentorship & enablement: Acts as a mentor and force multiplier, raising team capability through coaching, reviews, and enablement.
Quality rigor & resilience: Detail-driven and resilient, with experience tracking quality metrics, managing flaky tests, and continuously improving reliability.
Security & risk awareness: Treats security, performance, and reliability as first-class quality attributes throughout the testing lifecycle.
