Software QA Specialist in Birmingham

We are seeking a talented individual to join our team at Marsh. This role will be based in Louisville, KY, though candidates in the Eastern U.S. will also be considered. This is a hybrid role that has a requirement of working at least three days a week in the office.

We are seeking a Specialist - IT Quality Assurance to join our IT Quality Assurance team. This role will be an experienced individual contributor focused on functional, automation, data testing, and modern AI-assisted testing practices to ensure product and data quality across enterprise applications, APIs and data pipelines. The Specialist will work closely with development, product, and data teams to design and execute test strategies that validate both application behavior and data integrity.

We will count on you to:

• Own and implement the Pod-wide test automation strategy (CI/CD, automation pyramid/shift-left, frameworks and tooling) and ensure consistent adoption across all squads for functional and non‑functional testing (performance, security, compatibility, accessibility).
• Lead testing of AI/GenAI business applications and embed GenAI capabilities into test tooling and utilities (AI-driven insights, optimization, code refactoring, comparisons, migrations).
• Define, federate, and continuously improve built‑in quality practices, standards, and methods (RCA, stage containment, code quality) so squads deliver consistent, high‑value outcomes aligned to Pod and global approaches.
• Collaborate with Pod and squad leads, Product Owners, and operations to align quality objectives with PI/resourcing plans, skills profiles, supplier training needs, and global KPIs.
• Drive process improvement and innovation to increase quality, velocity, and efficiency (closer alignment to business acceptance, automation enhancements, tooling upgrades).
• Provide timely, actionable QA reporting and dashboards (test coverage, defect trends, leakage, metrics) enabling Pod leads and stakeholders to monitor quality and make data‑driven course corrections.

What you need to have:

• Experience testing software across multiple languages, technologies, and platforms.
• Hands‑on experience using generative AI to test and validate AI/ML models, including automation for AI‑powered applications.
• Experience collecting, processing, and evaluating data quality, as well as preparing test data for AI frameworks and pipelines.
• Experience working in Agile‑at‑scale, Lean, and continuous delivery environments, including CI, TDD, and Infrastructure as Code, with the ability to design and implement automation frameworks.
• Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non‑technical stakeholders across cross‑functional teams.

What makes you stand out:

• Strong understanding of Test Engineering and Quality Assurance best practices, tools, and policies.
• Experience with automation tools, test framework setup, and testing environments; knowledge of CI/CD and DevOps practices.
• Experience with Salesforce or Informatica testing, with Scrum Lead or similar experience.

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have an impact on colleagues, clients and communities.
• Our scale enables us to provide a range of career opportunities, as well as benefits and rewards to enhance your well‑being.
