- Dear Hiring Manager
- I am writing to express my interest in the Software Quality Assurance / QA Automation Engineer position at [Company Name]. With over 8 years of experience in Manual and Automation Testing, and a strong track record supporting major Canadian enterprises including TD Bank, Bank of America, Walmart Canada, and Capital One, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your QA team.
- In my current role at TD Bank, I work on high-visibility projects such as the US Digital Platform and Credit Decisioning systems, where I design and execute end-to-end test strategies across UI, API, database, and accessibility layers. I specialize in building scalable automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver, Java, Maven, REST Assured, and Cucumber BDD, and I regularly integrate automated suites into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery. My work includes validating complex Oracle/DB2 datasets, automation of REST/SOAP services, and developing solutions that improve test stability and overall coverage.
- I bring strong experience in Agile/Scrum and SAFe environments, actively participating in PI Planning, Sprint ceremonies, cross-team collaboration, and defect triage. I have consistently helped teams deliver high-quality products by identifying risks early, streamlining automation, and ensuring traceability across user stories, acceptance criteria, and test assets. Additionally, my hands-on work with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, HP ALM, Git, Bitbucket, Postman, SoapUI, JAWS, and SeeTest ensures that I can adapt quickly to your technical environment.
- Throughout my career, I have successfully supported functional, regression, smoke, accessibility, mobile, and cross-browser testing efforts across financial and enterprise applications. My experience working closely with developers, BAs, product owners, and global QA teams has strengthened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills—qualities that I believe align well with the expectations of the Canadian SQA job market.
- I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise in quality engineering, automation development, and collaborative Agile delivery to [Company Name]. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my background and skills can contribute to your team’s success.
- Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you.
