Senior QA Automation Engineer

At Advisor360°, we build technology that transforms how wealth management firms operate, scale, and serve their clients. As a leading SaaS platform in the fintech space, we’re trusted by some of the largest independent broker-dealers and RIAs to power the full advisor and client experience—from portfolio construction and reporting to compliance and client engagement.
What sets us apart? It's not just the tech (though it's best-in-class). It's the people, the purpose, and the passion behind everything we do. We’re a team of builders, thinkers, and doers who believe that great companies are defined by the stories they tell and the experiences they create—internally and externally. We bring deep industry expertise, a collaborative spirit, and a commitment to innovation as we reshape what’s possible in wealth management. 
As we grow, we’re looking for teammates who are ready to roll up their sleeves, think big, and help elevate our brand in a way that reflects the bold ambitions we have for our company and the clients we serve. 
Join us, and be part of a company that's not only moving fast—but making it count. 

This role is hybrid, requiring three days per week onsite in our Needham, MA headquarters.  

Here’s What You’ll Do: 

• Work back from the customer to drive and own Quality within your team, serving as a quality champion.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional stakeholders employing a "shift left" mentality and proactively identify systemic gaps in quality processes.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering leadership to define, shape, and continuously refine the "definition of done" — ensuring quality standards evolve with the product and business needs.
• Lead by example in promoting a proactive quality culture. Go beyond finding and preventing bugs — identify patterns, root causes, and advocate for architectural and process changes that reduce risk.
• Drive our quality engineering vision by establishing, owning, and evangelizing best practices for automation, including frameworks, tooling standards, and coding guidelines.
• Lead, mentor and guide junior and mid-level automation engineers, conducting code reviews, providing technical direction.
• Assist in manual testing where applicable. We employ an automation first strategy, but manual testing is an important tool in our toolbox.
• Develop a deep, expert-level understanding of our product offerings and ecosystem and leverage that knowledge to define test coverage strategies that balance risk, velocity, and customer impact.
• Don't just write a lot of tests — write the right tests and help others do the same.
• Interpret complex documentation and requirements to independently create comprehensive test plans, test strategies, and risk assessments.
• Architect, design, and develop robust automated test solutions in collaboration with engineers, with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and long-term efficiency.
• Lead and coordinate software release activities, acting as a quality gate and ensuring release readiness.

What You Bring to the Table:

• 7+ years of software quality assurance experience.
• Experience in leading a team of automation engineers.
• Strong programming experience in Python, Javascript with Selenium and Playwright.
• A data driven and analytical approach to problem solving.
• Familiarity and willingness to work with AI tools such as Copilot and Augment.
• Understanding of code architecture best practices such as reusability, maintainability, scalability, and abstraction.
• Experience and understanding of source control (BitBucket/GitHub) and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Github Actions).
• Experience working with REST APIs and usage of tools like Swagger and Postman.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases and capability to dig into and understand data.
• Experience in the financial industry is a plus.
• In-depth knowledge of Scrum and Agile Software Development Methodology.
• Excellent oral and written communication across disciplines and teams.
