We are looking for a ready-to-deploy, hands-on Senior QA Automation & Load/Performance Test Engineer with end-to-end testing experience in retail POS ecosystems.

The candidate must be able to immediately design, implement, and execute full automation and load testing without relying on a training period - using modern frameworks and AI-assisted test script generation.

This role requires strong retail POS and integration testing knowledge, automation framework design expertise, test infrastructure setup capabilities, and the ability to validate high-transaction-volume performance at enterprise scale.

Key Responsibilities :

Automation :

- Design and implement scalable, maintainable automation frameworks for Jumpmind POS (Register, Backoffice, Central Office).

- Automate complex functional flows spanning sales, returns, promotions, inventory, reporting, and multi-system data sync.

- Utilize AI-based testing tools (e.g., Testim.io, Mabl, Functionize, Copilot-assisted code generation) for code/script creation and documentation, avoiding traditional manual coding approaches.

- Set up robust test data management processes for dynamic retail scenarios.

- Configure infrastructure to schedule and run automation scripts across environments with failover and recovery mechanisms.

- Generate real-time and scheduled reports with actionable insights and trend analysis.

Performance & Load Testing :

- Plan and execute end-to-end load, stress, and scalability testing for the entire landscape :

POS Register, POS Backoffice, POS Central Office
METL integration layer
Symmetric DS synchronous data layer
Related upstream/downstream systems (RMS, RPM, RTLog to RESA)

- Simulate 1,000 store load with ~1 million transactions/day throughput.

- Identify and monitor systemic performance bottlenecks.

- Use tools like Apache JMeter, Gatling, Locust, or enterprise equivalents.

- Prepare full performance assessment reports including recommendations for tuning.

Required Skills & Experience :

- 8+ years in QA Automation & Load/Performance Testing.

- Proven experience in retail POS automation

- Strong skills designing and implementing test automation frameworks (Selenium or equivalent) for Chromium-based applications.

- Proven track record setting up :

Test data creation and lifecycle management
Test scheduling and execution infrastructure
Failover and error recovery in automated tests
Reporting dashboards and analytics

- Deep familiarity with AI-assisted automation tools for script generation & documentation.

- Strong experience with JMeter or similar tools for large-scale load testing.

- SQL proficiency, especially in PostgreSQL.

- Understanding of retail integration architecture, including RMS, RPM, and RTLog processes via METL.

- Experience testing large-scale transaction systems with high concurrency
