The Role
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain automated tests primarily at the integration and API layers to validate behaviour across distributed services.
- Develop tests that validate asynchronous and event-driven workflows, including messaging, retries, ordering, and failure scenarios (e.g. Azure Service Bus–based integrations).
- Contribute production-quality code to shared automation frameworks and quality tooling used across the enterprise platform.
- Design and execute performance and scalability tests for the enterprise SaaS platform
- Build and maintain performance test data, scenarios, and workloads that reflect real-world usage patterns, including message throughput and concurrency.
- Integrate automated functional and performance tests into CI/CD pipelines, contributing to reliable, high-signal quality gates.
- Support validation activities within the Staging environment as the primary platform integration and quality assurance layer
- Analyse functional, integration, and performance test results to identify systemic platform risks and improvement opportunities.
- Partner with Product Owners to understand upcoming platform changes and integrations, preparing targeted integration and performance tests in advance.
- Collaborate with architecture, platform, and engineering teams to improve system testability, reliability, and observability.
- Apply AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate test creation, improve coverage, analyse failures, and reduce test flakiness.
- Adhere to and contribute to quality standards, patterns, and engineering practices defined by the centralised Platform Quality Engineering function
Skills and Experience
- Demonstrable experience in platform- or enterprise-scale SaaS application quality assurance, with a focus on validating integration, non-functional characteristics, and release readiness across distributed systems.
- Strong coding skills in one or more of C#, TypeScript, or Python, with the ability to write clean, maintainable, production-quality code.
- Demonstrated experience designing and maintaining automated tests at the integration and API layers for distributed, cloud-native systems.
- Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures and how to test them, including messaging, asynchronous processing, retries, ordering, and failure handling
- Hands-on experience testing event-driven systems using cloud messaging or integration technologies (e.g. Azure Service Bus, Kafka, SNS/SQS, or similar).
- Strong hands-on experience with performance testing tools and approaches (e.g. k6, JMeter, Gatling, or similar).
- Experience designing realistic performance test scenarios and generating representative test data, including load, concurrency, and message-driven workloads.
- Practical experience integrating functional and performance testing into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps preferred).
- Experience diagnosing complex system failures using logs, telemetry, and test data.
- Hands-on experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to improve productivity, test quality, or failure analysis.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to reason about system behaviour and failure modes in distributed environment
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Relevant certifications in cloud platforms (Azure preferred), performance testing, or quality engineering are beneficial but not required.
