Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain automated test solutions across UI, API and integration layers. Review existing regression test packs and drive their optimisation and automation to significantly reduce execution time. Assess current automation frameworks and extend or refactor them to improve scalability, maintainability and overall test coverage. Improve test environment stability and alignment with production to increase confidence in releases. Build and enhance automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress), developing reusable components to support scalability. Conduct root cause analysis for defects and collaborate with developers to resolve issues. Validate application reliability, performance and compatibility across environments. Integrate and execute automated test suites within CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins). Monitor pipeline execution and address failures or flaky tests. Produce clear documentation and enable knowledge transfer to support a more self-sufficient testing capability across the team, including key stakeholders where required. Qualifications Proven experience improving or scaling automation frameworks in complex or legacy environments. Strong experience in regression testing and optimisation, ideally within large or complex test estates. Experience with automation tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or Appium. Experience with API testing tools (Postman, RestAssured, Karate). Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tools (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions). Knowledge of Git and branching strategies. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with high attention to detail and a commitment to delivering quality outcomes.

Purpose of Job This role sits within the Rosa Service Organisation (RSO), supporting the ongoing development of secure government platforms. The team currently operates with extensive regression packs and this position will play a critical role in transforming and scaling the existing automation capability - improving regression efficiency, enhancing test stability, and embedding automation into CI/CD pipelines. You will take ownership of evolving (and where required, redefining) the automation framework, ultimately enabling a more efficient, reliable and self-service testing capability across the team. Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain automated test solutions across UI, API and integration layers. Review existing regression test packs and drive their optimisation and automation to significantly reduce execution time. Assess current automation frameworks and extend or refactor them to improve scalability, maintainability and overall test coverage. Improve test environment stability and alignment with production to increase confidence in releases. Build and enhance automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress), developing reusable components to support scalability. Conduct root cause analysis for defects and collaborate with developers to resolve issues. Validate application reliability, performance and compatibility across environments. Integrate and execute automated test suites within CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins). Monitor pipeline execution and address failures or flaky tests. Produce clear documentation and enable knowledge transfer to support a more self-sufficient testing capability across the team, including key stakeholders where required. Qualifications Proven experience improving or scaling automation frameworks in complex or legacy environments. Strong experience in regression testing and optimisation, ideally within large or complex test estates. Experience with automation tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or Appium. Experience with API testing tools (Postman, RestAssured, Karate). Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tools (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions). Knowledge of Git and branching strategies. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with high attention to detail and a commitment to delivering quality outcomes. SC or DV Clearance is an essential requirement; you must be willing and eligible to undergo DV clearance. Experience with cloud environments (Azure/AWS/GCP) and containerised systems (Docker/Kubernetes). Familiarity with BDD/TDD practices and tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent practical experience. ISTQB certification.
