The opportunity

We are looking for a Lead Automation Tester to join our team of testers.  Someone who can share their knowledge, introduce best practices, guide their teammates and coordinate testing tasks. We need a Lead Automation Tester who realises the full potential of automation testing and strives to improve the framework through new insights or existing flaws. We want a champion of BDD and a forward thinker.  Someone who knows the value of automation in agile software development and the importance of QA to engineer valuable tests.  A Lead Automation Tester who can liaise with all sides of the business to get the best results.  

Who are you and where are you now?

You are a Senior Automation Tester within an enterprise organization seeking a chance to move into a lead role. Or you might are a Lead Tester seeking a chance to move into a startup-like environment. You enjoy working on technical challenges in small teams, at a fast-pace;  jumping from discussions with product managers and developers to mentoring team members. You thrive in an Agile environment and you are eager to explore and adopt a Kanban style process with the automation team. You have a passion for working with big data sets in a MySQL database. You are constantly researching, tweaking, and engineering new strategies.

What’s in it for you and how will you grow at Voyanta?

This is an opportunity to drive the direction of the Automation team and extend the existing automation of a global platform. A chance to mentor automation engineers in London and in India.

As you grow with our team and influence the practices we follow and the impact we make; there is the potential to increase your impact by extending your lead role beyond just the Voyanta product.

If you want to step up to a senior role to work side-by-side with on-site and off-site automation testers - and improve the automation testing processes, this is the Lead Automation Tester opportunity to consider.

  • Manage the nightly automated test build on Jenkins.

  • Establish best practices for automation, maintain high code quality and drive processes to enable smooth & efficient automation.

  • Well-rounded.  You have exposure to multiple products and tools.  You have a range of experience implementing and maintaining an automation testing framework and you are able to offer guidance and advice based on deep knowledge of automation testing techniques and tools.

  • A research geek. You enjoy researching new methods and clearly presenting reasoning for alternate technologies or processes.
  • Methodical, analytical, and detail oriented. You are a logical thinker; yet you are incredibly adept at thinking of all possible answers.   You love the meticulous nature of going through every aspect of a product, every line of code, to ensure we are only releasing the best.
  • An outstanding communicator. You have superior communication skills. You are concise, on point, and effective. You know how to listen and how to be heard.  You are able to communicate both user requirements and technical details clearly across the team.

You are never in a panic but you know how to get work done quickly, and accurately. Integrity of test results is your priority.
