Quality Engineering

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and support quality engineering practices for citizen- and officer-facing digital products
• Define and implement test strategies based on product, technical, integration, and operational risks
• Design and execute functional, integration, API, and end-to-end testing across applications and services
• Develop and maintain automated test suites to improve test coverage, reliability, and release confidence
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous validation throughout the software development lifecycle
• Perform API testing and validation to ensure service functionality, data integrity, security, and reliability
• Test distributed systems and integrations across government agencies, platforms, and external partners
• Validate secure data ingestion and ETL pipelines, including data quality, accuracy, completeness, and failure handling
• Identify edge cases, failure scenarios, and potential production risks through systematic testing and validation
• Conduct performance, reliability, scalability, and security-conscious testing where appropriate
• Investigate defects, perform root-cause analysis, and work closely with developers to identify and resolve quality issues
• Collaborate with developers and engineering teams to improve application testability and prevent defects earlier in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
• Contribute to the modernisation and enhancement of existing Java-based and platform applications by ensuring quality and maintainability throughout the delivery lifecycle
• Support testing and validation of cloud-based applications, infrastructure, deployment processes, and system integrations
• Establish quality gates, validation practices, and release-readiness criteria across development and deployment pipelines
• Use test results, quality metrics, defect trends, and other evidence to provide recommendations on product quality and release readiness
• Promote engineering practices that improve code quality, testability, maintainability, and overall system reliability
• Develop reusable quality engineering capabilities, frameworks, and practices that can be adopted across multiple teams within the organisation
