You are a key member of the Customer Success Engineering (CSE) QA team under Corporate System Organization, responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and stability of customer-facing and internal web applications.

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE) presents a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and business challenges in the financial sector. ICE team members work across departments and traditional boundaries to innovate and respond to industry demand.

• Own end-to-end functional testing for cloud-based applications — covering functional, regression, integration, and smoke testing across all release cycles.
• Collaborate closely with the SRE team to support cloud release management: participate in deployment validation, monitor release pipelines, coordinate smoke tests post-deployment, and contribute to release readiness sign-offs.
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites using Playwright; continuously expand automation coverage to reduce manual regression effort and accelerate release confidence.
• Translate business requirements and user stories into comprehensive test plans, test scenarios, and test cases; maintain test documentation aligned with Agile sprint cadences.
• Identify, log, and triage defects with clear reproducibility steps and root cause analysis; work directly with developers to drive timely resolution.
• Participate in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives as the QA voice; proactively surface risks and quality concerns early in the development cycle.
• Research and evaluate emerging QA trends and tooling; provide recommendations to improve team processes, coverage, and overall quality metrics.
• Work independently across multiple concurrent projects and priorities without requiring close supervision, escalating blockers and communicating status proactively.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 4+ years of hands-on functional QA experience testing cloud-based web applications in a SaaS or enterprise software environment.
• Demonstrated experience working with SRE or DevOps teams on cloud release management, deployment validation, and production readiness activities.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright for UI and end-to-end test automation; ability to design and maintain scalable, reusable test frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of modern QA methodologies, including test planning, risk-based testing, and quality metrics reporting under Agile/Scrum frameworks.
• Experience with API testing (REST/SOAP) using tools such as Postman or similar; solid understanding of JSON and XML data formats.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and integration of automated tests into build and deployment workflows (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent).
• Strong SQL skills and ability to perform backend data validation against relational databases.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills; proven ability to isolate defects and conduct root cause analysis in complex, distributed systems.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills; ability to translate technical findings into clear, actionable reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and manage multiple tasks simultaneously in a fast-paced Agile environment.

Preferred Knowledge and Experience

• Experience testing financial services, e-commerce, or identity and access management platforms.
• Knowledge of performance or load testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter).
• Proficiency in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript for test scripting and tooling.
• Experience of GenAI testing.
• Demonstrated organizational and project management skills, including experience leading QA efforts for small to mid-size initiatives.
