Functional Architect

Overview

Drive quality engineering for the Order Management System (OMS) platform, combining functional expertise with test automation leadership to embed quality across the software development lifecycle.

What you'll do

• Develop deep functional expertise in OMS workflows, integrations, and business processes.
• Translate business requirements and user stories into test scenarios covering functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing.
• Define and drive the overall test automation strategy, standards, and roadmap.
• Design, develop, and maintain UI automation frameworks using Playwright and API test automation solutions.
• Collaborate with architects, product owners, and developers to ensure effective test planning and coverage.
• Review and enhance automation suites to improve reliability, scalability, and CI/CD effectiveness.
• Implement risk-based testing approaches for releases, hotfixes, and production support.
• Drive adoption of AI-assisted testing tools to improve automation productivity and quality.
• Analyze defects, identify test coverage gaps, and continuously improve product quality metrics.
• Define best practices for using AI-assisted development tools such as Claude and Kiro to design test scenarios, generate automated tests, and improve existing test suites.
• Establish reusable prompt patterns, workflows, and review guidelines to ensure AI-generated tests are functionally correct, meaningful, maintainable, and consistent with engineering standards.
• Drive workflows that translate user stories and acceptance criteria into test scenarios, generate automated test cases, and integrate them into the existing execution pipeline.
• Ensure AI-generated tests are reviewed and validated against requirements rather than accepted solely on the basis of successful execution.
• Measure the impact of AI-assisted testing on test authoring time, automation throughput, coverage, and defect detection.
• Share effective practices and enable developers to use AI tools consistently across the engineering organisation.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of experience in Software Quality Engineering and Test Automation.
• Strong functional analysis skills with experience testing complex enterprise applications.
• Hands-on experience with Java, JUnit, Spring Boot, REST APIs, and integration testing.
• Strong expertise in Playwright and UI automation for modern Single Page Applications (SPA).
• Experience building and maintaining automation frameworks and CI/CD-integrated test suites.
• Knowledge of test strategy, test data management, regression testing, and release validation.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development/testing tools such as Claude and Kiro.
• Excellent problem-solving, stakeholder management, and communication skills.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
