Temporary Security Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania

Description

What you’ll do (core responsibilities)

Automation engineering (frameworks + scalable suites)

• Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and suites for APIs and services; expand coverage while keeping tests deterministic and fast.

• Create reusable automation patterns (data builders, helpers, stubs/mocks where appropriate) to reduce duplication and improve maintainability.

• Own regression automation health: flake reduction, runtime optimization (parallelization where appropriate), and clear failure triage signals.

Quality strategy and quality gates

• Define and implement a layered test strategy (unit, component/service, integration, end-to-end) aligned to change risk and payment criticality.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD and define/enforce quality gates for merge and promotion readiness (evidence-based Definition of Done).

• Drive defect prevention: analyze defect leakage trends, run retrospectives on escapes, and implement systemic fixes (test gaps, unclear requirements, missing validations).

Collaboration and delivery partnership

• Partner with engineers, architects, and BSAs/POs early to clarify acceptance criteria, edge cases, and testability; translate behavior into executable checks where appropriate.

• Provide quality feedback during design and PR review cycles; promote testability, observability, and safe change patterns.

• Support release readiness by validating test evidence and coordinating with change/release processes as needed.

Non-functional testing (as applicable)

• Contribute to performance and resiliency validation approaches where appropriate (test data, scenarios, and automation hooks).

• Ensure monitoring and diagnostic artifacts exist for failures (logs/metrics/traces) and that test failures are actionable.
