As part of the WI Quality Engineering Center of Excellence (QE CoE) this position works directly with quality engineers software teams platform engineers and SRE partners across Retail (PI) Institutional (FI) and Brokerage and Operations Technology (FBOT). The role emphasizes handson analysis systemic problem solving and technical execution.
Core Responsibilities
Improve the stability and reliability of nonproduction test environments that are shared across business units reducing outages degradation and inconsistent behavior.
Drive consistency and scalability across environments by addressing configuration drift dependency misalignment data variability and capacity constraints.
Identify and resolve systemic environmental issues that negatively impact testing outcomes developer confidence and delivery velocity.
Partner with development platform and SRE teams to ensure nonproduction environments accurately reflect production behavior integrations and operational characteristics.
Define and reinforce quality engineering practices that promote environment resilience deterministic test outcomes and predictable validation results.
Integrate and interpret quality and environment health signals from CI/CD pipelines test execution and monitoring data to proactively surface risk.
Support crossBU alignment by ensuring environment expectations usage patterns and reliability standards are consistent and well understood.
Perform deep technical investigation into environmentrelated failures triaging issues across systems data pipelines and dependencies.
Influence outcomes through technical expertise datadriven insights and demonstrated improvements rather than formal ownership or authority.

The Value You Deliver
In this role you directly improve test reliability and system confidence by ensuring that nonproduction environments are dependable scalable and trustworthy.
Your work enables:
Fewer testing disruptions due to unstable or unpredictable environments
Increased confidence that test results reflect realworld system behavior
Reduced friction for engineering teams caused by environment inconsistency
Higher quality validation across business units through reliable shared environments
Success is measured by environment health reduced failure noise and improved crossBU testing confidence not by frameworks delivered or programs executed.
The Team
The WI Quality Engineering Center of Excellence focuses on improving the engineering conditions that enable quality at scale. By strengthening nonproduction environment stability and reducing system friction the team helps technology organizations deliver reliable software with speed and confidence.
