Automation Strategy & Design: Define and evolve the test automation strategy, ensuring it aligns with our continuous delivery goals and long-term technology roadmap. You'll take full ownership of the Katalon-based automation framework, ensuring it supports the testing of web, API, mobile, and desktop applications.
End-to-End Test Automation: Lead the development of comprehensive automated test suites, covering functional, regression, and performance testing. Focus on scalability, reusability, and high maintainability.
Technical Leadership: Mentor and coach junior and mid-level QA Engineers and Analysts, fostering a high-performing team with best practices in test automation. Ensure code quality through regular peer reviews and pair programming.
CI/CD Integration: Collaborate closely with DevOps and development teams to integrate automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline using tools like Jenkins, Git, Jira, and Xray. Ensure the automation suite runs reliably in every build cycle.
Metrics & Optimization: Establish KPIs for test coverage, execution time, and defect detection rate. Continuously monitor and optimize the performance of the automation suite, identifying bottlenecks and implementing improvements.
Advanced Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex test failures in real-time, leveraging strong debugging skills and deep knowledge of Katalon’s architecture. Collaborate with development teams for root-cause analysis.
Innovation: Stay ahead of industry trends and leverage new technologies or methodologies (AI, machine learning in testing, etc.) to enhance the automation framework and reduce the time to market.
Cross-Team Collaboration: Act as the main point of contact for QA automation, working closely with development, product, and DevOps teams to ensure testable and maintainable code from the start.
Preferred:
ISTQB certification or other relevant certifications.
Familiarity with other automation tools like Selenium or Appium is a plus.

#MuchMoreThanJustAJob
Early morning. Campo 24 de Agosto. In 4 minutes, you are clocking in at the office. Start your day having breakfast with the Team and grab fresh fruit on the way to your seat, in one of Porto’s most typical neighborhoods. This Purple Day is going to be a busy one: daily meeting ensuring all team members are on the same page regarding work status, priorities and blockers, language class and, just after, a Talent Management meeting with your manager, discussing your career path.
Lunch break. Today, your Team is onboarding newcomers, but also welcoming French colleagues: the perfect excuse to walk downtown and bond over a francesinha. When returning, inhale nature and peace of mind in Natixis Urban Garden (look at the crops; ready to harvest!).
Back inside. Brainstorming session on a new, exciting project in our disruptive and immersive Manaus Village. The afternoon went flying (tasks, meetings, some jokes with your teammates). End it on a high note: celebrating cultural diversity with a Diwali, the Indian festival of lights.
Tomorrow, you attend a conference led by influential speakers in your industry and, the day after, you will work from home, benefitting from some focus time to complete that report and soft skills course on LinkedIn Learning. Once you are done with your work for the day, strike the right note playing with Natixis band or be part of a board games session. If that is too steady for you, meet your colleagues to catch some waves or sail the Douro river during golden hour.
