The Opportunity:

The QA Engineer is accountable forend to endquality assurance of AI enabled mortgage applications and workflows, ensuring that user experiences, APIs, integrations, data flows, business rules, controls, and operational processes work reliably before and after release.

This is ahands onrole embedded in a First National product squad from the start of delivery. The QA Engineer develops and executes risk based manual and automated testing, supports UAT and release readiness, and partners with the AI Quality and Evaluation Lead on the evaluation of probabilistic AI outputs, while retaining clear ownership of functional, integration, regression, and end to end workflow quality.

How you will contribute:

• Define and maintain arisk basedtest strategy for each product increment, covering functional, integration, end to end, regression, API, data, user interface, accessibility, performance, security control, and operational readiness testing.
• Work with the Product Manager, the Residential Underwriting Business SME, the UX Designer, the AI Engineering Lead, and engineers to turn requirements, policy rules, workflows, exceptions, and acceptance criteria into traceable test scenarios and representative test data.
• Design, execute, and document manual and automated tests across web applications, APIs, services, data pipelines, document processing, permissions, audit logs, notifications, human review queues, calculations, and controlled write back to core systems.
