We are seeking an experienced Lead Test Engineer to join our Engineering team, contributing to our digital roadmap, developing our people and capabilities, and supporting our Engineering strategy to improve all teams.

This role offers the opportunity to work within a product-led operating model, where teams align with value streams, enabling efficient progression from idea to completion with minimal handoffs. Our current focus is on developing our Single Digital Platform based on Salesforce, involving a significant .NET estate, Azure services, and React frontend web applications.

As a Lead Salesforce Test Engineer, you will stay abreast of recent technology trends and influence organizational decisions. Our engineers collaborate effectively, respect diverse opinions, and strive for continuous improvement. You will contribute to a motivating atmosphere where team members are energized and enthusiastic about achieving shared goals.

At AXA, we value working smart and empower employees to balance remote and office work to suit their needs, team, and customers.

Flexible working arrangements are also available and can be discussed with Talent Acquisition.

What you'll be doing:

1. Act as a line manager, supervising and guiding a team of test engineers, sharing best practices in manual and exploratory testing within complex end-to-end environments on our Salesforce Platform.
2. Oversee testing activities in a team responsible for frequent code deployments and delivering business value to production.
3. Be hands-on, uplifting existing capabilities with a focus on test automation.
4. Lead the technical design, implementation, and maintenance of test automation projects within a CI/CD environment.

Due to high application volume, we reserve the right to close this advert early. If you're interested in joining AXA, we encourage you to apply promptly.

What you'll bring:

• Hands-on experience with Salesforce testing, including leadership roles such as Test Engineering Lead or Senior SDET.
• Deep understanding of software testing principles, methodologies, and the SDLC.
• Experience with test automation frameworks and tools to design and implement automation suites.
• Knowledge of Provar or Copado Robotics Testing (CRT) is advantageous.
• Experience with load testing and simulating load, with ability to report results.
• Extensive manual testing experience, complemented by automation skills.
• Proven ability to implement process improvements to enhance testing efficiency.
