About The Position

Equifax is hiring Quality Automation Engineers (SDETs) to code, test, debug, and implement software solutions. The role leads complex testing efforts, estimates time and resources, and defines test environment configurations. It involves defining test cases from user requirements and testing applications, with a focus on functional and end-to-end testing to confirm system responses and outputs meet documented business requirements.

The engineer coordinates user acceptance testing with business users and development teams, identifies and resolves test environment issues, analyzes defects and trends, and recommends process improvements. The role also designs, develops, and implements short- and long-term solutions for IT needs across applications, systems architecture, network systems, and applications infrastructure. It conducts quality-control testing against specified standards and end-user requirements, executes established test plans and scripts, records issues, retests fixes, and creates test files to validate program logic and system flow.

The position involves making decisions within established guidelines, communicating complex and sensitive information, building support and agreement, collaborating to achieve results, proactively addressing conflict, and developing moderately complex short-term work plans. The engineer identifies and implements improvements to Quality Engineering strategies. Multiple positions are available.
