Background in Testing DevOps Infrastructure

Hybrid | Competitive Salary + Benefits

This is a broad, hands-on role: it is not a pure software testing position, and your work will be far more varied.
Alongside manual testing, you'll validate infrastructure, environments, deployments and integrations, working closely with developers, DevOps engineers and project teams to plan, execute and continually improve the testing that gives our clients robust, secure systems.

Key Responsibilities

• * Design, execute and maintain manual test plans across infrastructure, backend services and application layers.
  * Validate deployments, configuration changes and environment stability across cloud, servers and CI/CD pipelines.
  * Perform integration, regression and performance testing across multiple platforms.
  * Collaborate with development and operations teams to identify, troubleshoot and resolve issues early.
  * Automate repetitive testing tasks using appropriate tools and frameworks.
  * Contribute to the continuous improvement of QA practices, tooling and processes.
  * Support the Test Manager and wider team in delivering successful test outcomes for clients.

Essential Skills

• * Proven hands-on experience in manual testing, complemented by automation testing experience.
  * Strong experience testing large enterprise systems and a wide range of applications, including Java and Oracle web applications.
  * Experience of Windows 11 and associated application testing in an Evergreen environment.
  * Familiarity with cloud and infrastructure environments (Azure, AWS or on-premises).
  * Experience testing APIs, services and integration points.
  * Hands-on experience with tools such as Postman, Jenkins, JMeter or similar.
  * Experience in system integration and data migration.
  * Proficiency in MS Office Suite applications (MS Project, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Visio).
  * Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail and problem-solving ability.
  * Strong oral and written communication and interpersonal skills.
  * Ability to understand business processes and relate them to testing solutions.
  * Understanding of networking, containers or CI/CD pipelines is an advantage.

Desirable

• ISTQB certification.
• Python, Bash or PowerShell scripting.
• Terraform or Ansible experience.
• Knowledge of networking, containers and CI/CD pipelines.
