About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Lead QA Engineer (Test Automation) to join our Fortune 500 client’s Team in North York, Toronto. This hybrid, contract-to-hire position is ideal for someone who combines technical depth in automation testing with strong leadership and mentoring skills.

The successful candidate will lead quality assurance initiatives across large-scale web and mobile retail applications, driving automation strategy, implementing scalable frameworks, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, fault-tolerant software solutions. You will thrive in a fast-paced, agile environment, collaborating with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to continually test, refine, and deploy innovative retail solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end QA strategy and execution for large-scale applications in a hybrid agile environment.
  • Drive test automation initiatives using open-source tools and frameworks within a Java, BDD (Cucumber), and TestNG environment.
  • Design, implement, and maintain robust automation frameworks using the Page Object Model (POM) pattern to ensure scalability and maintainability.
  • Create, optimize, and execute test scripts across frontend, middleware, and backend layers using XPath, CSS Selectors, and related UI automation techniques.
  • Conduct both manual and automated testing, ensuring full coverage across all business-critical scenarios.
  • Plan, manage, and deliver QA milestones, ensuring timely and high-quality software releases.
  • Lead and mentor QA engineers, fostering collaboration, ownership, and continuous learning within the team.
  • Collaborate closely with development, DevOps, and product teams to ensure seamless CI/CD integration and continuous testing.
  • Continuously improve QA processes, recommend new tools, and drive automation-first best practices.
  • Troubleshoot, analyze, and communicate critical defects, risks, and test progress to leadership to ensure timely resolution.
  • Support continuous integration and process innovation to improve delivery efficiency and product quality.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 7+ years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, including 3+ years in a lead or senior automation role.
  • Strong hands‑on experience with Java, BDD (Cucumber), Selenium/WebDriver, and TestNG.
  • Deep understanding of XPath, CSS Selectors, and advanced web UI automation concepts.
  • Proven experience with frontend and backend testing, ideally for retail store applications or enterprise‑scale systems.
  • Familiarity with API testing (REST Assured, Postman, or similar).
  • Experience integrating automation with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps).
  • Thorough understanding of QA methodologies, SDLC, and defect management processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage priorities, and deliver results under tight deadlines.
  • Excellent analytical thinking, communication, and problem‑solving skills.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in Performance Testing or Mobile Automation Testing.
  • Exposure to cloud testing environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Prior experience in retail, POS, or enterprise application environments.

Work Model

  • Hybrid: Onsite presence required in North York, Toronto (approx. 2–3 days onsite per week, rest remote).
  • Contract Duration: 3 to 6 months, with potential to convert to full‑time employment based on performance.

Why Join

  • Lead a high‑impact QA function for a global retail technology initiative.
  • Work with cutting‑edge tools and modern frameworks in a collaborative, agile environment.
  • Opportunity for long‑term career growth through full‑time conversion and leadership advancement.
