Test Architect
About The Position
The Test Architect works in Deloitte’s Project Delivery Talent Model, collaborating on client projects as a specialized professional without extensive travel or additional expectations related to business development or promotion. Employment is tied to the project role, and the position is eligible for a benefits package competitive for project delivery-focused professionals. The role coordinates and oversees end-to-end and unified testing across multiple teams and release milestones. It involves assessing project scope and features to determine testing needs, aligning business and testing stakeholders, preparing test plans and test data, coordinating testbed readiness, monitoring testing progress and defects, and documenting testing closure. The position is part of Deloitte’s AI & Engineering team, which builds, deploys, and operates engineering solutions across software, data, AI, networks, and hybrid cloud infrastructure.
Requirements
- At least 4 years of experience in test management or test architecture roles supporting multi-team release programs.
- Extensive experience coordinating testing across multiple teams and release milestones.
- Experience with JIRA and Zephyr, or equivalent test management tools, including fix-version alignment and dashboarding.
- Facilitation skills and experience aligning business, testing, and delivery stakeholders.
- Experience producing release-level testing artifacts, such as Test Plans, TER Readiness Checklists, and Test Exit Reports.
- Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a related IT discipline; equivalent experience is also accepted.
- Ability to travel an average of 10%, potentially including overnight travel.
Responsibilities
- Review Project Scope (PTS) and Project Feature (Confluence) documents to determine whether end-to-end testing is needed, and use JIRA dashboards and queries to identify impacted Scrum Teams, including late joiners.
- When end-to-end testing is required, align Business Analysts, the Business Sponsor, and testing teams on scenarios, impacted teams, and open questions; target full scenario sign-off at least one week before UAT/Unified Testing.
- Coordinate Testbed criteria-pull readiness for UAT1/UAT2 according to the Release Calendar and drive Test Data Management preparation through the designated SharePoint site.
- Initiate the Test Plan Input in the first impacted Sprint and help teams prepare stories and scripts in the correct Zephyr Release Fix Version aligned to JIRA, or follow the required Excel-based process for non-Zephyr teams.
- Lead Unified Testing communications and execution oversight, distribute status updates at a cadence suited to project risk, monitor progress for slippage, and intervene early to protect release milestones.
- Oversee JIRA defect health and resolution accountability, validate Zephyr release readiness, and lead testing closure by preparing the TER Readiness Checklist and creating the Test Exit Report (TER).

- Benefits package competitive for project delivery-focused professionals.
- May be eligible to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program.
