• Test Pipeline Engineering: Design, build, and maintain CI/CD testing pipelines to enable fast, reliable feedback across the engineering organisation.
• Performance Testing: Establish and own our performance testing capability, including selection and implementation of an appropriate toolset (e.g. k6, Gatling, or JMeter) and integration into release processes.
• Coverage Measurement: Maintain and improve test coverage reporting using JaCoCo, defining coverage standards and working with engineering teams to close gaps.
• Quality Standards: Define and champion quality engineering standards and best practices across the engineering organisation, including testability requirements, coding standards, and quality gates.
• Shift-Left Testing: Embed quality thinking earlier in the development lifecycle by working closely with product managers, developers, and architects during design and planning.
• Tooling & Observability: Evaluate, introduce, and maintain static analysis, code quality, and observability tooling to support engineering teams in identifying and resolving issues early.
