mless user registration, vendor workflows, and robust content management systems. Operating at the modern intersection of agile product delivery and cloud-native software engineering, you will establish scalable automated test architectures, integrate continuous testing routines into cloud deployment pipelines, and ensure total compliance with modern digital interaction, security, and accessibility standards.
Location: Toronto, ON (Hybrid - Up to 3 days onsite, subject to hiring manager's discretion)
Duration: 9-month contract.
Advantages
Next-Generation Architecture Footprint: Command full quality engineering ownership over a modern, high-velocity headless architecture and API-first ecosystem.
Advanced Automation Leadership: Build and mature sophisticated UI and API testing frameworks using premium distributed open-source tools.
High-Security Domain Specialization: Deepen your technical market value by mastering complex data validation across enterprise identity solutions and secure cloud environments.
Impactful Accessibility Mandate: Influence inclusive software design by embedding rigorous digital accessibility guidelines into major public-facing transaction networks.
Responsibilities
Quality Strategy & Planning: Formulate comprehensive testing plans, design validation rules, and establish automated quality gates for software releases by reviewing technical architectural designs and user stories.
Test Automation Engineering: Design, build, and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks for multi-tiered web applications and underlying services to reduce manual validation friction.
Functional & Integration Testing: Validate end-to-end transactional user journeys, account management features, complex query engines, and cross-platform data synchronization.
API & Security Verification: Execute automated testing protocols on endpoints, data transport layers, and secure integrations using specialized query languages, while auditing role-based access controls and federated single sign-on mechanisms.
Headless Architecture & CMS Validation: Verify dynamic content rendering, structural template logic, data migrations, and responsive front-end configurations driven by modern decoupled web systems and content delivery platforms.
Accessibility Compliance: Execute rigorous accessibility audits aligned with international and local digital compliance standards, documenting structural defects in keyboard navigation, screen-reader markup, and interface design patterns.
Performance & DevOps Pipeline Guardrails: Embed automated smoke tests and regression validation loops directly inside cloud platform continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to provide immediate release-readiness metrics.
Defect Lifecycle & Telemetry Management: Isolate, catalog, and track technical anomalies to their underlying code layer, partnering directly with developers to patch defects and maintain detailed test coverage reporting.
Qualifications
Core Quality Assurance Seniority: 7+ years of progressive professional experience leading and executing quality engineering programs for enterprise-level web applications and high-traffic digital platforms.
Full-Stack Validation Toolkit: Demonstrated experience developing and executing comprehensive test suites covering functional, integration, regression, UAT, accessibility, and performance testing.
Automation Engineering Mastery: Proven hands-on experience designing, developing, and scaling automated testing frameworks using technologies such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
Modern Web Stack Literacy: Practical experience validating complex software solutions built using modern front-end and back-end ecosystems, specifically Next.js, React, and .NET C#.
Headless CMS & Content Mapping Acumen: Direct experience testing, auditing, and validating application structures utilizing headless CMS platforms (with a strong preference for Contentful).
API Testing & Protocol Skills: Deep functional capability testing REST APIs or GraphQL data exchanges using automated toolsets like Postman, RestAssured, or matching environments.
Cloud DevOps Integration Background: Working knowledge of cloud topologies, with practical experience injecting automated test arrays into CI/CD pipelines within Microsoft Azure DevOps or comparable systems.
Identity & Compliance Awareness: Technical familiarity validating secure communication protocols (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, Azure AD) and a solid operational understanding of digital accessibility parameters (WCAG 2.2 Level AA / AODA rules).
Soft Skills: Superior analytical problem-solving, collaborative agility within Scrum teams, and clear written and verbal communication mechanics to deliver actionable telemetry reports to architects and product owners.
Nice to Have:
Experience validating bilingual (English/French) enterprise interfaces or integrating digital tracking analytics.
Prior quality engineering experience supporting digital service delivery tracks inside a public sector or highly regulated governance landscape.
