Senior Software Engineer in Test
The Role
Senior Software Engineer in Test to advocate quality across the organisation throughout our digital transformation to micro-services in the cloud - and beyond.
This isn't a bulk standard SDET role. We are the SMEs in quality and our role encompasses the continuous improvement in our quality strategy and tooling (industry best practice techniques and designs), with supporting the engineering teams in meeting their delivery targets.
You will come from a senior SDET and/or Test Lead background, with experience of automated testing across the Test Pyramid, in an Agile delivery process. You will be passionate about maturing the quality practices across our delivery teams in a large scale global business, and upskilling others to achieve this.
The Team
Sitting in the quality engineering practice (outside the delivery teams), you will be given free rein to positively impact the Quality process within an environment that supports and rewards innovation and creativity. Working alongside the other engineering practices, we educate, enable and empower each delivery team to produce consistently high-quality products as we undergo a cloud transform.
Reporting into the Engineering Practice Lead, you will be a part of an organisation that promotes personal development, growth and career progression and who will provide you with the tools and training you need to excel in the industry.
Responsibilities
Evangelising the importance of quality across the Agile teams in a DevOps environment (as we move towards our Continuous Deployment goal)
Supporting the continued improvement and adoption of the Quality Strategy across the teams (working to industry best practices - both in terms of processes and automation)
Implementing test automation frameworks from scratch (including PoCs with new tools and technologies)
