• Test the actual instance/infrastructure itself and less the application that is being deployed
• Testing instances to make sure they have been deployed correctly and are working as expected. 
• Chaos testing of deployments/instances to make sure that they behave as expected if an instance goes down for some reason. 
• Define the approach for setting up the test infrastructure and use the outputs to drive technical improvements.
• Communicate with other teams and share technical resources, knowledge and lessons learned (with regards to testing automation)
• Infrastructure-as-Code testing principles.

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of test engineering best practices.

• Experience with functional and non-functional testing (performance, security, accessibility, etc.).
• Skilled in systems integration testing and microservices/API testing.
• Hands-on experience with security testing and understanding of associated risks.
• Proficiency in performance testing methodologies and tools.
• Proven ability to develop and maintain automated test suites.
• Experience with test infrastructure tools such as Docker and containerisation.
• Strong understanding of TDD and BDD principles.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation in build and deployment workflows.
• Strong Java (11/17/21) development experience and knowledge of the Spring Boot framework.
• Experience with test frameworks such as Cucumber, REST Assured, and WireMock.
• Hands-on knowledge of front-end testing frameworks such as Selenium.
• Experience in accessibility testing in line with WCAG standards.
• SC Security Clearance (or eligibility) required to access production logs.

Desired Attributes

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication skills, able to clearly convey technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactive approach to identifying risks, issues, and improvements.
• Passion for continuous learning, technology, and quality assurance.
