• Monitor coverage, stability and performance of automated tests; drive continuous improvement of the framework and suites.

3. Enablement & Collaboration

• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions).
• Experience with web applications and distributed systems; comfortable working closely with developers.
• Ability to standardise, document and evangelise Quality Engineers practices across a squad or multiple squads.
• Strong communication and coaching skills; able to act as referent/expert for test automation while keeping an enabling, non-bottleneck posture.
• Good understanding about performance/load tools is a nice to have.
• English is mandatory, french nice to have.

Performance Indicators

• Test automation coverage and stability (especially front-end and end-to-end).
• Reliability and speed of CI/CD pipeline gates driven by automated tests, by building it , maintaining it, and scale it.
• Reduction of production incidents linked to functional or regression gaps over time.
• Clarity and adoption of testing standards, dashboards and reports by squads and stakeholders.
• Level of developer and squad participation in test automation.
• Continuous improvement of the test framework (e.g. reduced flakiness, faster execution, broader coverage).
