Key Responsibilities
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Maven, and other DevOps tools. Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform for consistent and repeatable environment provisioning. Work with Azure cloud services and Azure Foundry to deploy and manage test environments. Create and manage Docker containers for isolated and reproducible test setups. Collaborate on the development of Agenti AI solutions using various LLM models hosted on Azure Foundry. Apply service virtualisation techniques to simulate unavailable or third-party services during testing. Debug complex issues in Java and Node.js applications, providing detailed root cause analysis and resolution. Design and implement scalable automated test frameworks using Java and Node.js. Develop and execute automated test suites for functional, regression, and non-functional testing (e.g., performance, scalability, reliability). Perform API testing and ensure robust validation of service integrations. Ensure test environments are secure, scalable, and aligned with production configurations. Document test strategies, plans, and results clearly and concisely. Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams including developers, DevOps engineers, and product owners
Required Skills & Experience
Proven experience in software testing and automation development. Experience in building automation frameworks from scratch. Strong programming skills in Java and Node.js. Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Maven). Expertise in Terraform for IaC and cloud resource provisioning. Experience with Azure cloud services and Azure Foundry. Familiarity with Docker and container orchestration. Experience in API testing and service virtualisation. Understanding of non-functional testing principles. Demonstrated ability to debug and resolve issues in complex systems. Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Certifications in testing (e.g., ISTQB), cloud (e.g., Azure), or DevOps are a plus. Experience with AI/ML technologies and LLM integration is highly desirable. Familiarity with container orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes) is a bonus.
