Résumé du poste

Ocho People Ltd. in Belfast is seeking a senior, hands-on QA Engineer to lead test strategy across multiple Belfast teams.

You’ll write test code weekly, build and own testing frameworks, and set the standard for how engineers test their work on a cloud-native platform running across AWS, GCP, Azure and Oracle Cloud. The role spans backend, frontend and DevOps collaborations, with a focus on end-to-end quality, performance and reliability.

• Experience with AWS, GCP or Azure, microservices and data-intensive systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Residence in Northern Ireland.

Responsabilités

• Define test strategies with each team, pushing most coverage below the UI across unit, integration, contract and end-to-end levels.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines as quality gates.
• Treat flaky and slow tests as defects and drive them out of the pipeline.
• Write the testing standards, examples and documentation teams adopt as their default.
• Coach engineers in testing practice through pairing, code review, workshops and written guides.
• Review test and production code with a testing lens, giving clear and constructive feedback.
• Build test data sets and cloud test environments that verify the accuracy of security findings.
• Contribute to performance, load and reliability testing against measurable quality targets.
