Senior Software Engineer in Test

About this role

TAKE YOUR CAREER TO NEW HEIGHTS WITH LOOPIO! 🚀✨

Loopio is a workplace that unleashes learning & growth opportunities for our Loopers. We provide autonomous, challenging work that allows each employee to master their craft. We attract and retain people who are naturally curious, have grit and are eager to grow and build their careers. At Loopio, we genuinely support each other, because true success comes from working as #oneteam.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test who can serve as a technical anchor within the QA team. In this role, you will lead testing efforts for complex enterprise systems, mentor and guide junior engineers, and drive strategic improvements to our automation and testing practices. You will be expected to bring deep expertise in UI automation, API testing, and ideally performance testing, while operating with a high degree of autonomy and cross-team influence.

You'll join a dynamic team of Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers to architect and deliver cutting-edge features that power a platform used by some of the world’s leading organisations. At Loopio, we value clean code, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing. From impacting technical direction to mentoring teammates, you’ll play a key role in scaling our systems and evolving our product.

📌 This role requires close collaboration with teams across Canada, the UK, and India. To accommodate the time zone differences, you will be expected to work from 12 PM to 9 PM IST.

💻 WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

- Lead and define test strategy for complex, high-impact product areas and cross-system integrations.

- Architect, develop, and maintain scalable automated test suites for UI and API layers using Playwright.

- Own and drive API test automation at scale — covering contract testing, end-to-end integration flows, and data validation.

- Evaluate, plan, and execute performance testing to identify bottlenecks, validate SLAs, and ensure system reliability under load.

- Mentor and guide L2/L3 QA engineers — conduct code reviews, pair on complex test scenarios, and help the team level up technically.

- Champion quality engineering best practices — shift-left testing, test pyramid principles, and continuous testing in CI/CD.

- Collaborate with engineering leadership on release readiness, risk assessment, and quality metrics.

- Identify gaps in tooling, processes, and coverage, and lead initiatives to address them.

✨WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must Have:

- 8–11+ years of overall experience in software quality assurance, with significant depth in test automation.

- Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience with Playwright for UI test automation.

- Strong experience in API testing and automation —building test suites and validating complex integration scenarios.

- Experience testing enterprise or SaaS applications with multi-tenant, multi-integration architectures.

- Strong ownership mindset — ability to operate independently and drive initiatives from ideation to completion.

- Foundational knowledge of performance testing concepts (load, stress, soak testing) and hands-on experience with at least one performance testing tool (e.g., Locust, JMeter, k6, Gatling).

Good to Have:

- Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.

- Exposure to Cypress or other modern automation frameworks.

- Deep expertise in performance test architecture — custom load shapes, distributed execution, SLA-based pass/fail criteria

- Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and optimization (e.g., Jenkins, Harness, GitHub Actions).

- Familiarity with test reporting and observability tools (e.g., Allure, Grafana, Datadog).

- Contributions to automation framework architecture — page object models, custom fixtures, data-driven patterns, and shared utilities.
