Job Details

Title: SAP Senior Tosca Test Automation Architect

Duration: 6 months

Location: Hybrid – Northern CA

Position Summary:

Our client is executing a Greenfield SAP S/4HANA implementation (on RISE with SAP) with a July 2026 go-live. They are seeking a Senior Tosca Test Automation Architect to lead the design, setup, and execution of test automation across SAP and non-SAP systems. This role is critical: the right architect will establish best practices, build a reusable test framework for the new S/4HANA environment, and mentor an existing QA team of three engineers. The successful candidate will also have the technical depth to integrate Tosca into a CI/CD pipeline, enabling automated regression triggered by SAP transport pushes.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement a scalable Tricentis Tosca (on-premise) test automation framework for SAP S/4HANA on RISE
• Lead and mentor a team of three QA engineers, transferring deep Tosca knowledge and establishing best practices
• Design reusable test modules for SAP business processes (Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, Record-to-Report) that will support both pre go-live UAT and ongoing post-launch releases
• Build CI/CD integration between Tosca and SAP transport management so that test cases trigger automatically when transports promote to QA environments, with results available before the next workday
• Configure and optimize Tosca infrastructure including Distributed Execution (DEX) servers, Test Data Service (TDS), and execution lists
• Partner with SAP functional teams (internal and SI) to align test scripts with end-to-end business processes
• Integrate Tosca with Jira and TestMo for end-to-end test management and defect tracking visibility
• Establish governance and documentation for the automation suite so it remains maintainable beyond the project lifecycle

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of test automation experience, with at least 5 years focused on Tricentis Tosca
• Demonstrated architect-level experience with on-premise Tosca (latest version); cloud Tosca exposure is not a substitute
• Strong SAP S/4HANA testing experience including Fiori, SAP GUI, and SAP standard modules (FI/CO, MM, SD, PP)
• Proven track record setting up Tosca from scratch in a new environment (not just maintenance)
• Experience with Tosca advanced features: TBox, XScan, Steering Parameters, Distributed Execution (DEX), Test Data Service (TDS)
• Ability to lead and train a junior-to-mid-level QA team without direct line authority (matrix leadership)
• Strong communication skills in a fast-paced, deadline-driven program environment

Strongly Preferred

• CI/CD pipeline integration with Tosca (Azure DevOps, or similar) ability to trigger automated test execution from SAP transport events
• SAP transport management and CTS+ familiarity
• Greenfield S/4HANA implementation experience (not brownfield/conversion only)
• Jira super-admin or advanced administration experience
• TestMo or TestRail test management experience

Nice to Have

• Playwright or Selenium experience for non-SAP and web/e-commerce test automation
• Salesforce testing exposure (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, or Salesforce automation)
• Performance testing experience (NeoLoad, JMeter) for high-volume e-commerce
• Tricentis Tosca certification (current)
