We are a team that is responsible for a range of cloud automation, each of which presents its challenges. As a team we operate a policy of ‘R&D productivity through quality’ and as such we protectively look at ways to improve the quality of the automation/IaC all the time.
We are looking for a DevOps engineer to work closely with the QA team to improve the testing of an infrastructure as code pipeline and other automated test pipelines. The initial aim here is not for the engineer to write the test but for them to integrate the testing frameworks and improve upon them.

- Implementation of existing application test suites into infrastructure as code pipeline and liaising with product teams to identify opportunities for improvements in tests.
- Implementation of tests for IaC and other automation code.
- Improve intelligence of infrastructure as code pipeline to allow for different scenarios.
- Introduce and maintain automated test pipelines in areas such as:
- Ansible
- Terraform
- GitLab CI/CD
- Work with a geographically dispersed team to ensure the continuation of quality improvement.
