We're partnering with a major banking organisation to hire a Senior Test Automation Engineer for a new technology platform being built from the ground up.
This is not a role where you'll inherit a mature automation framework.
The platform is still being established, so we're looking for someone who has previously helped set up testing capability from scratch and can take ownership of the automation approach, tooling and standards.
You'll work closely with software engineers, data engineers and platform teams to establish how the new platform is tested across applications, APIs, integrations and data.
The role You'll be responsible for helping establish the testing capability for a new cloud-based platform, including:
Designing and building automation frameworks from the ground up
Establishing the overall automation approach, standards and best practices
Building automated tests using Playwright or similar modern frameworks
Developing API and integration test automation
Performing data testing across pipelines, transformations and downstream systems
Validating data quality, accuracy and reconciliation using SQL
Testing applications and services running within GCP




Integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
Working closely with engineering teams to build quality into the development lifecycle
Helping determine what should be automated and where manual testing remains appropriate
Improving test coverage, reliability and overall engineering quality as the platform grows
