Who you'll be working for

Our client is a leading IT services company currently engaged in a large-scale telecommunications IT project, delivering critical network infrastructure solutions to major telco operators.

Requirements

• Solid grounding in IP networking and Layer 2/Layer 2+ access protocols—including Ethernet, VLAN, QoS, Multicast, DHCP, PPPoE, 802.1x, RADIUS, CFM, ERPS, xSTP, LLDP, LACP, and ANCP—with a commitment to staying current with emerging network technologies.
• Practical experience with containerisation platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Strong Linux command‑line skills, including the ability to perform in-depth system diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and test suites using tools such as Jenkins, Selenium, and Robot Framework.
• Working knowledge of NetConf, YANG models, and REST API integration and validation.
• Experience deploying and validating software in virtualised Linux environments.
• Proficiency in Python and shell scripting for test development, automation, and system administration tasks.
• Familiarity with XML, XSLT, and data migration validation techniques.
• Experience applying Test‑Driven Design methodologies (TDD/ATDD) and working with automated testing toolsets.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and execute comprehensive test plans and automated test suites across network software products, ensuring full coverage of Layer 2/Layer 2+ protocol behaviours including Ethernet, VLAN, QoS, DHCP, PPPoE, RADIUS, and related access protocols.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and release automation workflows using Jenkins, Selenium, and Robot Framework, supporting continuous quality validation throughout the development lifecycle.
• Perform in‑depth system diagnostics and troubleshooting on Linux‑based environments, identifying root causes of defects and working closely with development teams to drive resolution.
• Validate containerised applications and microservices deployed via Docker and Kubernetes across cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Python and shell scripting to support regression testing, system validation, and ongoing automation initiatives.
• Apply Test‑Driven Design principles (TDD/ATDD) to embed quality early in the development cycle, collaborating with software engineers from requirements through to release.
• Validate NetConf/YANG‑based interfaces and RESTful API integrations, ensuring correct behaviour across network device management functions.
• Conduct data migration and XML/XSLT transformation validation to ensure integrity and accuracy of data across system changes.
• Deploy and validate software in virtualised Linux environments, simulating real‑world telco network conditions to uncover issues before production.
• Document test results, defect reports, and quality metrics, contributing to continuous improvement of testing processes and standards across the programme.
