CI/CD Integration • Embed automated test execution within build pipelines-triggering unit, integration, and end-to-end tests on code commits and pull-requests. • Monitor pipeline health and test results; collaborate with DevOps to optimize build times, parallelize tests, and reduce pipeline flakiness. Result Analysis & Root Cause • Analyze test outputs, system logs, and metrics (e.g., via ELK Stack or Prometheus/Grafana) to pinpoint failures and performance regressions. • Lead root-cause investigations for infrastructure incidents, producing clear post-mortem reports and remediation recommendations. Defect Management • Log, triage, and track defects in Jira (or equivalent), ensuring clear reproduction steps, priority ranking, and lifecycle management through to closure. • Collaborate with development and operations teams on bug fixes, retesting, and verifying patches in staging and production-mirroring environments. Quality & Best Practices • Champion infrastructure and security testing best practices, including vulnerability scanning (e.g., OWASP ZAP, Nessus), compliance checks, and disaster-recovery validations. • Contribute to continuous improvement by proposing new testing tools, frameworks, and process enhancements to raise overall system reliability and observability. Agile & Cross-Functional Collaboration • Actively participate in daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, backlog grooming, and retrospectives, bringing a testing perspective to ensure quality is "shifted left." • Work hand-in-hand with developers, SREs, and cloud engineers to embed test hooks, shared dashboards, and automated health checks into the delivery lifecycle. Required qualifications to be successful in this role To be successful in this role, you will have prior experience in a dedicated testing role, ideally within a secure or mission-critical environment. You'll bring a solid understanding of testing methodologies and a passion for ensuring software quality throughout the development lifecycle. Experience with Agile delivery frameworks, particularly SAFe, is highly desirable. You should be confident working with both manual and automated testing tools and have a proven ability to design effective test cases. Familiarity with test management tools such as ALM or TestRail will support you in documenting and tracking testing activity efficiently. An ISTQB Foundation Certification is a strong asset and shows your commitment to professional testing standards. A key part of this role involves problem investigation and root cause analysis, so strong analytical and communication skills are a must. You'll enjoy working as part of a collaborative team, contributing your insights to improve outcomes and drive quality.
