Lead Quality Assurance Engineer - Oracle Supply Chain

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Lead QA Engineer to join our Quality Assurance team, specializing in testing Oracle-based Supply Chain Management (SCM) applications. This leadership role will oversee QA processes for complex ERP implementations and enhancements, with a focus on Oracle SCM modules (e.g., Inventory, Order Management, Procurement, Manufacturing). You will lead a team of QA analysts and testers, drive testing strategies, and ensure high-quality deliverables in a dynamic supply chain environment.

The ideal candidate combines deep domain expertise in Oracle SCM with strong technical QA skills, including API testing, defect triage, and log analysis.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the QA team in planning, designing, and executing test strategies for Oracle SCM projects, including functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive test plans, test cases, and scripts tailored to Oracle Supply Chain processes (e.g., procurement-to-pay, order-to-cash, inventory management).
• Oversee defect management: triage issues, prioritize bugs, analyze application/server logs, and collaborate with development and functional teams for resolution.
• Perform and guide API testing (using tools like Postman, SoapUI, or REST Assured) for integrations involving Oracle APIs and third-party systems.
• Mentor and manage junior QA team members, conduct code/test reviews, and foster best practices in quality assurance.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (developers, business analysts, Oracle functional consultants) during requirements gathering, UAT, and production releases.
• Implement and improve QA processes, including automation where applicable, to enhance efficiency in testing Oracle ERP environments.
• Analyze production issues using logs, SQL queries on Oracle databases, and diagnostic tools to support root cause analysis.
• Report on QA metrics (defect density, test coverage, escape rates) and provide status updates to stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with testing standards and contribute to continuous improvement in supply chain application quality.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in software quality assurance, with at least 3 years in a lead or senior QA role.
• Proven expertise in testing Oracle ERP applications, particularly Supply Chain Management modules (Oracle EBS R12 or Oracle Cloud SCM/Fusion).
• Strong domain knowledge of supply chain processes (e.g., inventory, purchasing, order management, manufacturing).
• Hands-on experience with API testing, web services (REST/SOAP), and integration testing.
• Proficiency in defect triage, log analysis (application, server, database logs), and troubleshooting complex issues.
• Experience with SQL/PL/SQL for querying Oracle databases and validating data integrity.
• Experience in AZURE, ADO
• Familiarity with testing tools such as Selenium, JIRA, TestRail, HP ALM, or similar.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.

• Experience leading QA for Oracle SCM implementations or upgrades.
• Knowledge of automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cucumber) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools like Confluence.
