Job Description
Job Description
Visa Corporate IT has embarked on a major transformation journey to become an engineering-first organization where reliability, automation, quality, customer experience, and end-user productivity are central to how we operate. As part of this transformation, Corporate Reliability Engineering is focused on shifting from reactive support to proactive, predictive, and preventative engineering practices that reduce operational toil, improve service reliability and release quality, and enable scalable support across Visa's global workforce.
The Agentic QA Automation Developer, Corporate Reliability Engineering will be responsible for designing, building, testing, and maintaining automation solutions that eliminate manual QA effort and improve the quality, reliability, and release readiness of Visa's enterprise workstation environment. This role will develop automated validation frameworks, intelligent workflows, reusable test components, integrations, and human-in-the-loop solutions that validate software releases, operating system updates, endpoint configurations, security controls, drivers, and enterprise applications across Windows and macOS.
This role is an Individual Contributor I5 / mid-to-senior developer position for a hands-on engineer with strong software development, test automation, performance engineering, and endpoint platform experience. The successful candidate will build, test, implement, and support automated functional, regression, compatibility, performance, and release certification solutions across multiple laptop models, operating system versions, and enterprise workstation configurations.
Visa's Agentic Toolchain materials describe agentic work as more than using AI for individual tasks; it includes persistent sessions, shared context, built-in quality gates, human approval points, telemetry, reusable artifacts, and lifecycle support from implementation through testing, release readiness, operational handoff, and measurable outcomes. This role will apply those principles to QA and CRE use cases where automated validation, reliability, traceability, and operational accountability are critical.

- Functional and Regression Testing: Develop repeatable automated test suites that validate critical workstation functionality and identify unintended impacts introduced by releases or configuration changes.
- Cross-Platform and Hardware Compatibility: Validate releases across supported Windows and macOS versions, laptop models, hardware configurations, device drivers, security controls, and endpoint management policies.
- Synthetic User Experience Testing: Create automated user journeys that simulate critical employee activities such as authentication, application launch, Microsoft 365 usage, browser access, VPN connectivity, collaboration, conferencing, printing, and device compliance.
- Release Quality Reporting: Produce automated reports showing test coverage, pass/fail results, defects, risk areas, performance impact, certification status, and deployment recommendations.
Endpoint Performance and Reliability Validation
- Resource Utilization Testing: Build automated baselines and regression checks for CPU, memory, disk I/O, storage, network utilization, process behavior, and power or battery impact where applicable.
- User Experience Performance: Measure logon duration, application startup time, device responsiveness, resource contention, crashes, service failures, and stability trends before and after releases.
- Telemetry-Driven Validation: Correlate automated test results with endpoint telemetry, logs, incident trends, and user-experience signals to identify release-related degradation and support root cause analysis.
Test Environment and Device Lab Automation
- Device Matrix Execution: Build automation that schedules, executes, and reports tests across physical and virtual Windows and macOS devices representing supported laptop models and operating system configurations.
- Environment Management: Automate test setup, software installation, configuration, data collection, cleanup, rollback, and repeatable restoration of test devices.
