• Contribute to the live coverage and results dashboard giving clear visibility of automation progress and quality across products.
• Help to develop AI-assisted test generation in line with the squad's tooling, prompting, and review standards, ensuring generated scripts meet quality thresholds.
• Work closely with the Lead Test Automation Developer, product squads and QA to help product teams adopt the framework and its patterns.
• Test automation experience, including building regression suites that stay reliable and maintainable as they grow.
• Proficient in C++ and scripting languages appropriate to the task, such as Python. JUCE experience is an advantage.
• Experience working with CI pipelines, ideally Jenkins; experience configuring build and test agents is an advantage.

• Strong debugging, testing, and technical communication skills.
• Fluent in spoken English with strong writing skills.
• Interest in music technology, creator tools, hardware/software integration, or audio workflows.
• A considered, practical view of AI-assisted test generation and the review discipline needed to use it well.
