Responsibilities
Design and implement orchestrated testing pipelines for microservices architectures across complex multi‑cloud environments, embedding functional and non‑functional testing throughout the full development lifecycle to ensure resilience and performance. Additionally, enable other Quality Engineers to define and implement automation‑first test approaches that ensure software is stable, scalable, performant, accessible, and secure by utilising endorsed technologies and applying common build patterns
Developing load injection and stubbing capabilities to simulate service behaviours under varied conditions. You’ll enable robust validation and early detection of performance bottlenecks
Validating data lake and data warehouse solutions, ensuring data integrity, transformation accuracy, and performance across large-scale datasets. You’ll help teams trust their data and analytics
Engineering CI/CD testing workflows using tools like GitHub, linting tools, Kubernetes, and GCP. You’ll integrate quality guardrails into every stage of delivery
Applying strong analytical skills to dissect complex systems and identify discrepancies between expected and actual behaviours. You’ll drive root cause analysis and continuous improvement
Lead strategic planning and roadmap development for Testing and Quality, looking 6–12 months ahead to evolve capabilities in line with platform needs. This includes scheduling work, anticipating future demand, and proactively adopting emerging Group tooling as it matures to unlock practice-wide benefits in pace, quality, and safety through standardised automation capabilities
Fostering a culture of enablement, where testing capabilities are federated—not centralised—empowering teams to own, develop, test, and deliver their own features
Embedding observability and quality enforcement using platforms like Dynatrace, SonarQube, Harness, and Jenkins. You’ll ensure visibility and compliance across delivery pipelines
