We are looking for a Quality Assurance Tester to join a Financial Services team in Toronto, Ontario on a Long-term Contract basis. In this role, you will help strengthen software quality across enterprise applications by combining automated and manual testing approaches with a strong focus on reliability, security, and compliance. You will work closely with technical and business partners to ensure solutions are thoroughly validated and ready for release.

Responsibilities:
• Build, enhance, and support automated testing solutions for web and enterprise platforms to improve coverage and consistency.
• Carry out functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end validation to confirm applications meet business needs and technical expectations.
• Review requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria with cross-functional teams to identify risks, define test scenarios, and close coverage gaps.
• Perform hands-on manual testing for workflows that require exploratory analysis, exception handling, or scenarios not suited to automation.
• Verify backend processing, interfaces, file outputs, and database results to ensure data accuracy and dependable system behaviour.
• Create and run data-focused test scenarios that assess complex rules, high-volume records, and unusual edge conditions.
• Record, prioritize, and monitor defects in tracking tools, providing clear evidence and reproducible steps for resolution.
• Contribute to release preparation, production-readiness checks, post-deployment validation, and issue triage while maintaining audit-ready test evidence.
• Assess security-related behaviour such as role-based access, entitlements, and authorization controls to support compliance requirements.
• Recommend improvements to QA methods, automation practices, and testing efficiency, including the use of modern intelligent testing capabilities where appropriate.
• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and practical experience.
• Hands-on experience in software testing or quality engineering, including exposure to automated test development.
• Familiarity with automation tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or comparable frameworks.
• Working knowledge of at least one programming or scripting language such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or C#.
• Experience testing web applications, APIs, and enterprise-level systems in Agile delivery environments.
• Practical understanding of defect tracking and test management tools, including Jira or similar platforms.
• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving ability, and communication skills for working with cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of compliance, audit, security, and traceability expectations within regulated environments is considered an asset.
