Quality Engineer (Retail Automation)

Description

We are seeking a seasoned Quality Engineer with strong expertise in test automation for retail systems—particularly Point of Sale (POS) and LS Central / Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC). You will design, implement, and scale automated testing across our retail ecosystem (store POS, back-office, integrations, and reports), reduce UAT duration and defects in production, and improve release confidence—especially during new store openings and system upgrades.

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites covering POS, retail BAU processes, inventory, pricing/promotions, tender/loyalty, receipts, end-of-day, store/server failover, and back-office LS BC workflows.
• Integrate LS Central/Microsoft Business Central with test automation tools (e.g., via APIs, OData, web services, UI automation, or test harnesses) to support end-to-end scenarios.
• Select and justify the most suitable test automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Playwright/Selenium/Cypress for UI, Postman/REST Assured for APIs, Robot Framework for keyword-driven suites, Power Automate for light RPA, Azure DevOps Pipelines/GitHub Actions for CI).
• Build data-driven test cases and reusable libraries for master data (items, barcode variants, prices, tenders, customers) and test environments.
• Translate retail department processes (Store Ops, Finance, Supply Chain, etc.) into maintainable test scripts with clear pass/fail outputs and evidence (logs/screenshots/recordings).

Requirements

• Deep-dive into the LS Central/BC ecosystem to propose test enhancements (e.g., mocks/stubs for EFT/Payment gateways, scheduler/job queue coverage, posting routines, integrations to loyalty/ERP/WMS).
• Build/maintain smoke, regression, and performance suites tailored to new store openings, multiple POS lanes, and server/replication scenarios (cloud and on-prem).
• Develop UAT accelerators (automated scripts, test data packs, reusable scenarios) that shorten UAT cycles without compromising coverage.
• Provide testing support during UAT and project cutovers (store openings, upgrades, seasonal promotions), including after-hours or weekend support when required.
• Produce regular regression reports with quantitative results (e.g., pass rate %, failed test counts by feature, mean time to repair, defect leakage, coverage %).
• Define and track KPIs and present trends to IT and business stakeholders in clear, actionable summaries.
• Version control test assets (Git), enforce branching and code review practices, and integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/GitHub).
• Collaborate with vendors to align on non-billable test evidence collection where feasible (e.g., screen recordings) and ensure complete deployment documentation.
