Role Summary
We are looking for a highly skilled Automation Test Lead with strong expertise in Identity and Access management (IAM), skilled in identity orchestration, API testing, data ingestion and transformation, and event-driven (Pub/Sub) architectures.
This role focuses on testing secure, scalable workload identities and access workflows across Google Cloud Platform, integrating identity services with custom APIs, Pub/Sub pipelines, and cloud-native applications.
Using an automation first approach, you will collaborate closely with tech leads, Cloud Security, DevOps, and Application Engineering teams to thoroughly test robust IAM, identity lifecycle workflows, and secure service integrations that support enterprise-level cloud and Identity operations.
Key Responsibilities
Test Architecture, Strategy and Governance (Hands-on + Strategic)
- Define and maintain an overall test strategy that describes the approach, environment, scope, risks, and required resources.
- Establish test strategies that cover deterministic and non-deterministic AI behaviours.
- Define and maintain test entry and exit criteria.
- Ensure FR/NFR traceability.
- Perform test case reviews/QA to ensure coverage and traceability to requirements/design.
- Establish automation testing standards, best practices, and governance frameworks across the organisation.
- Liaise with business areas and technical leads on scenario definition across SIT/OAT/UAT and the wider testing lifecycle, as required.
- Generate regulatory evidence as needed.
Automation Engineering and CI/CD
- Plan, develop, execute, maintain, and continuously improve automated test frameworks and automated test scripts for IAM applications.
- Build automation frameworks that integrate AI capabilities for test generation, analysis, failure triage, self-healing, and intelligent reporting (supporting capability).
- Validate AI workflows, orchestration engines, and event-driven systems (Pub/Sub, queues, etc.).
- Create and manage CI/CD pipelines to run automated tests, generate reports, and notify teams of test results.
- Test and validate functions and decision logic defined “as code”, including policy-as-code.
- Generate synthetic and anonymised test data.
