You are passionate about quality and how customers experience the products you test. You have the ability to create, maintain and execute test plans in order to verify requirements. As a Quality Engineer at Equifax, you will be a catalyst in both the development and the testing of high priority initiatives. You will develop and test new products to support technology operations while maintaining exemplary standards. As a collaborative member of the team, you will deliver QA services (code quality, testing services, performance engineering, development collaboration and continuous integration). You will conduct quality control tests in order to ensure full compliance with specified standards and end user requirements. You will execute tests using established plans and scripts; documents problems in an issues log and retest to ensure problems are resolved. You will create test files to thoroughly test program logic and verify system flow. You will identify, recommend and implement changes to enhance effectiveness of QA strategies.

What You Will Do

• With limited oversight, use your experience and knowledge of testing and testability to influence better software design, promote proper engineering practice, bug prevention strategies, testability, accessibility, privacy, and other advanced quality concepts across solutions.
• Develop test strategies, automate tests using test frameworks and write moderately complex code/scripts to test solutions, products and systems.
• Monitor product development and usage at all levels with an eye for product quality.
• Create test harnesses and infrastructure as necessary.
• Demonstrate an understanding of test methodologies, writing test plans, creating test cases and debugging.
• Cloud Certification Strongly Preferred
  
  

What Experience You Need

• Bachelor's degree
• 3-5 years of UI/Front-end Automation (e.g., using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or Puppeteer).
• Software testing tools like LamdaTest or Cucumber
• Foundational knowledge or practical experience with a major Cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Software build management tools like Jenkins, Github, Maven or Gradle
• Software testing, performance, and quality engineering techniques and strategies
• Able to create automated test based on functional and non-functional requirements
• Testing technologies: JIRA, Confluence, Office products
• Self-starter that identifies/responds to priority shifts with minimal supervision.
  
  

What Could Set You Apart
