About the Role

As a Senior QA / Test Engineer on the NextGen programme, you will be responsible for ensuring the quality of the Backbase EBP-powered digital banking platform across all release milestones (R1–R4) through to Q*************. You will define the test strategy, build and execute test plans, manage defects, and own the quality gate process for each release - from CUG (closed user group) launch through to full public deployment.

This is a regulated banking environment. Testing must cover functional requirements and non-functional requirements including performance, security (VAPT-aligned), accessibility, and BNM compliance obligations. You will work closely with the Backbase delivery squad, EY's PMO (WS1), and Bank's IT and business teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own the end-to-end test strategy, master test plan, and test data approach for the NextGenprogramme

• Build test plans and acceptance criteria across functional and non-functional testing dimensions - performance, security, integration, accessibility, and regulatory compliance

• Develop, maintain, and execute both manual and automated test cases covering the Backbase EBP web and mobile applications

• Manage the defect lifecycle - logging, triaging, tracking to closure, and reporting defect metrics to the programme SteerCo pack

• Define and govern the UAT approach, UAT roles, and defect management process in collaboration with Bank's business sign-off stakeholders

• Execute integration testing between Backbase EBP and Bank's back-end systems (core banking, payment processing, third-party APIs)

• Execute or coordinate security testing activities aligned to Backbase SDLC and the programme's VAPT obligations

• Support go-live readiness reviews and cutover activities for each release milestone (R1 CUG, R1 public, R2, R3, R4)

• Provide post-launch hypercare support - monitor quality metrics, triage incidents, and execute regression testing for early fixes

• Participate in Agile ceremonies and apply a DevOps testing mindset across the CI/CD pipeline

• Mentor and provide technical review to more junior QA engineers; contribute to the Backbase QA Guild way of working

Required Qualifications

• 4–7 years of QA/testing experience in an SDLC/CI-CD environment

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)

• Strong experience with DevOps methodology and CI/CD-integrated testing approaches

• Proficiency in at least one programming language sufficient to write automated test cases (e.g. Java, JavaScript, Python)

• Experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, Appium, k6 or similar)

• Hands-on experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and contribution to Agile ceremonies

• Solid understanding of testing types: functional, regression, integration, performance, and security testing

• Experience designing test strategies for both web and mobile applications

• Excellent written and spoken English; ability to present test evidence and defect reporting to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred / Advantageous

• Experience with performance testing tools (k6, Perfana, DataDog)

• Knowledge of VAPT / penetration testing processes in a banking context

• Familiarity with BNM regulatory standards including RMIT November 2025 and PDPA data handling requirements

• Experience supporting UAT sign-off and regulatory compliance testing in a licensed financial institution
