About the role

About the role: We are seeking a versatile profile: a developer specialized in server-side automated testing, with the initiative and vision of a test lead. You will design, build, and evolve automation for server-side, component, integration, and end-to-end tests. You will define and steer the testing strategy, and support teams in embedding effective, sustainable practices.

What you'll do here:

  • Steering testing strategy and governance

  • Building and maintaining backend tests

  • Ensuring coverage across backend testing levels

  • CI/CD and quality gates

  • Security, performance, observability

  • Leadership and mentoring

What you bring to the table:

  • Solid experience in backend/API test automation with Playwright (request context) or equivalent tools (Java/TypeScript preferred).

  • Proficiency with microservices, REST/SOAP services, batch jobs, databases, messaging (e.g., Kafka/MQ).

  • Demonstrated ability to design a testing strategy and justify the choice of testing levels and the automated vs. manual scope.

  • Hands-on experience with mocking/stubbing, contract testing, data management, and mitigation of flaky tests.

  • CI/CD integration (reports, gates, artifacts) and a strong sense of performance/observability.

  • Leadership: coaching, governance, clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • TDD/BDD practices and quality gates.

  • Bilingualism (French and English) – required to interact regularly with colleagues across the country.

  • No prior Canadian work experience required, but authorization to work in Canada is necessary.

Assets:

  • Experience with Testcontainers, Pact (or equivalent), mutation testing, performance budgets, mocking and simulation.

  • Regulated/critical environments, incident prevention, and MTTR reduction.
