Join to apply for the QA Automation Testing Manager role at Tata Consultancy Services .

We’re seeking a QA Automation Testing Manager (SDET) with 10+ years leading multiteam QA programs, to drive engineering‑quality practices across complex banking platforms and integrations. You will architect automation frameworks, embed quality into CI/CD, and lead a team of SDETs/QA engineers to deliver reliable, compliant releases at speed. Experience in BFSI systems (core banking, payments, digital channels) and hands‑on coding for test automation is essential.

Job Description

  • Automation Architecture & Delivery
  • Design, implement, and scale UI/API/DB automation frameworks (Selenium java/UFT, RestAssured/Postman, Cucumber/BDD, TestNG/JUnit).
  • Integrate automated suites into CI/CD (Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab) with quality gates, parallelization, test impact analysis, and artifact publishing.
  • Establish coding standards for test harnesses, mocks, data builders, and service virtualization; enforce code reviews and static analysis for test code.

Domain‑Focused Testing (Banking)

  • Translate banking use cases (core deposits/loans, ACH/wires, card/payments, digital banking) into robust automated scenarios and data validations.
  • Partner with product owners and vendor teams (e.g., Fiserv, internal platforms) to triage defects, validate patches/hotfixes, and maintain regression beds.

Program Leadership & Governance

  • Lead a squad of SDETs/QA engineers—capacity planning, mentoring, and upskilling on advanced automation topics.
  • Orchestrate defect triage, root‑cause analysis, and risk‑based test planning; own release readiness (go/no‑go) and rollback validation.
  • Drive shift‑left practices (contract testing, API first, early data checks) and shift‑right observability (synthetic monitoring, production validation dashboards).
  • Compliance & Security—Ensure test evidence meets BFSI regulatory/audit needs (SOX); automate traceability from user stories to test results and logs.

Required Qualifications

  • 10–12+ years in software testing/quality engineering, with 5+ years leading SDET/automation teams.
  • Strong hands‑on coding in Java/C# (or equivalent) for test automation (frameworks, utilities, custom drivers).
  • Proven delivery of CI/CD‑integrated automation at scale; expert in test design for microservices, REST APIs, and event‑driven systems.
  • BFSI domain experience—core banking or payments—and vendor/platform collaboration (e.g., Fiserv) for patch/regression cycles.
  • Solid grasp of SQL and data validation; familiarity with logs/metrics (Splunk/Sumo/Grafana) for test diagnostics.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with OSAT‑style regression accelerators or similar enterprise frameworks; comfortable with shift‑left/shift‑right test strategies.
  • Performance testing (JMeter/LoadRunner)
  • ISTQB (Advanced), Agile/SAFe, or cloud certifications (Azure/AWS)
