JOB DESCRIPTION Quality Assurance Engineer Security Implementation & Integration Quality Assurance | Enterprise Security Program Experience 5 – 9 yrs experience Employment type Full-time Working model Global collaboration; flexible hours as needed Role overview We are looking for a proactive and quality-focused QA Engineer to support information security implementation and integration projects. The ideal candidate brings strong IT fundamentals, a disciplined approach to delivery, and a genuine commitment to learning. Direct QA or security-testing experience is valuable, but transferable experience from any IT domain is welcome when supported by the right mindset, ownership, and attention to detail. What matters most: ownership, reliability, learning agility, collaboration, and consistent follow-through. Key responsibilities Quality planning and delivery: Understand project requirements, risks, and acceptance criteria; translate them into practical test strategies, plans, scenarios, cases, and data. Test execution: Execute functional, integration, system, regression, and exploratory testing across project releases; maintain clear traceability to requirements. Defect management: Identify, document, prioritize, and track defects through closure; provide concise evidence and work constructively with delivery teams on resolution. Security-focused validation: Support testing of security-related solutions and integrations, including negative scenarios, access controls, data handling, and agreed security requirements. Automation and efficiency: Contribute to reusable automated tests, test-data management, and integration of suitable tests into CI/CD pipelines. Quality governance: Follow agreed QA standards, maintain audit-ready evidence, and contribute to quality metrics, status reporting, and release-readiness decisions. Collaboration: Partner with product, engineering, operations, information security, and vendor teams across locations and time zones. Continuous improvement: Actively identify gaps, suggest pragmatic improvements, share knowledge, and strengthen team practices. Mindset and behaviours Ownership and accountability: Takes responsibility for outcomes, follows through on commitments, and raises risks early. Commitment and reliability: Demonstrates consistent effort, discipline, and dependability, especially during critical delivery periods. Learning agility: Quickly understands unfamiliar technologies, business processes, and security concepts; actively seeks and applies feedback. Quality mindset: Looks beyond happy-path validation, asks thoughtful questions, and focuses on preventing defects rather than only detecting them. Collaboration and respect: Communicates clearly, works well with diverse stakeholders, and contributes to a supportive, high-performing team environment. Pragmatic problem solving: Uses evidence and sound judgement to balance risk, speed, and quality. Required qualifications and capabilities Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience. At least 5 years of professional experience. Experience may come from software development, application support, infrastructure, cybersecurity, business analysis, operations, testing, or a comparable technology role. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand requirements, identify risk, and communicate findings clearly. Good written and verbal communication skills and the confidence to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders. Ability to organize work, manage priorities, meet commitments, and operate effectively with appropriate guidance. High attention to detail and a demonstrable commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality outcomes. Preferred experience Hands-on experience in software testing, test management, defect management, or quality engineering. Exposure to Agile or Scrum delivery and collaboration in cross-functional teams. Familiarity with APIs, databases, web applications, integrations, or cloud-based solutions. Exposure to test automation frameworks, scripting, source control, and CI/CD pipelines. Awareness of information security principles, security testing approaches, vulnerability management, or secure development practices. Experience working with distributed teams, vendor partners, or global stakeholders. Typical deliverables Test strategy or test approach aligned to project risk and scope. Test plans, scenarios, cases, scripts, test data, and requirement traceability. Clear defect records with reproducible steps and supporting evidence. Test execution results, quality metrics, risk summaries, and release-readiness input. Automation assets and reusable QA documentation, where applicable. How success will be measured Consistent delivery against agreed commitments and quality standards. Clear, accurate, and timely reporting of progress, defects, dependencies, and risks. Effective collaboration and constructive challenge within cross-functional teams. Growth in domain knowledge, QA capability, and ability to work with increasing independence. Meaningful improvement in test coverage, repeatability, and team efficiency. Why join this team This role offers the opportunity to build deeper quality-engineering and information-security expertise while contributing to business-critical initiatives. You will work with global stakeholders, learn across technologies and platforms, and help shape practical QA practices in a team that values accountability, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
