I am looking for an immediately available Senior Test Automation Engineer to join a collaborative engineering team in Central London.
6 month contract
2x days per week on site in London
Role: Senior Test Automation Engineer
Summary
A hands-on engineering role that designs, writes and maintains automated test suites full-time, covering UI and end-to-end tests, working alongside a separate test strategy function. This is a coding role: the person writes test code in a real programming language, not manual or record-and-playback scripts.
Key responsibilities
- Run and maintain automated testing full-time.
- Introduce and own an end-to-end and UI test automation framework.
- Write new UI and end-to-end test scenarios for untested areas of the product.
- Design and maintain API-level end-to-end and contract tests.
- Integrate automated test suites into the CI pipeline as required checks.
- Run tests and triage failures on an ongoing basis.
