Overview
This role will particularly excite you if you are a quality engineering expert with a keen interest and experience in platform engineering, or equally if you are an experienced platform engineer with a keen interest in quality approaches in the field. You will deliver modern, effective test engineering and assurance, whilst maturing the quality of our cloud platform engineering practice.
Responsibilities
You will be responsible for solving interesting engineering challenges, including building, adopting, and improving automated test frameworks to deliver effective feedback at scale and pace for complex platform capabilities covering both functional and non-functional aspects. It is essential to ensure these are aligned to the overall platform-level test approaches and QAT principles.
Collaboration is key in this role. You will work with engineering and delivery teams to make sure QAT is embedded by default into the development approach. Building healthy relationships with your team, the wider team, other Home Office Digital professions, and communicating effectively with senior business stakeholders will be crucial. To help the QAT practice thrive, you will also keep up to date with emerging tools and innovative quality approaches, applying them to improve engineering practice within the QAT Test Engineering community and the wider organisation, promoting quality outcomes and value.
