What you'll do

We're looking for a highly motivated Principal SEIT to join one of the largest and most exciting tribes at Sky Betting & Gaming, the Bet Tribe

You will help to test industry-leading web and mobile applications, built on virtualised and cloud platforms. You will be working in teams that are evenly balanced with a mixture of specialists across front-end and back-end technologies: it's your attitude and potential to learn and grow that we're looking for, not an oracle of any discipline or specific technology.

Every Engineer is passionate about their team and drives improvements in their field and the quality of their team's systems. They share knowledge with others and are constantly learning and adapting their skills to push themselves and their team further.

We are not building a monolithic Enterprise app - think micro-services and a lean approach with quick running tests and deployment.

We operate a no-blame environment where we focus on learning from mistakes and using that knowledge to make us more effective in the future. Learning and development is important, and we allocate every Friday afternoon for you to study as you choose.

How you'll do it

  • Reporting to the Bet Tribe Test Manager you will lead a distributed team of SEiT's to drive the test automation strategy across the tribe.
  • Champion test automation throughout the tribe, working within the squads to design and build robust automation frameworks.
  • Architect a test infrastructure that is treated in the same manner as production code, maintainable and performant.
  • Build, maintain and advocate testing of API services, through the use of multi-layered automation frameworks.
  • Steer test approach to include mocks, stubs and automated frameworks through early engagement.
  • Integrate automation into continuous integration build.
  • Apply an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to plan, design and develop creative solutions to multi-platform testing problems.
  • Provide technical support, coaching and mentoring to help develop people within the tribe.
  • You love programming, and you're proficient in JS, Kotlin or Java
  • Be comfortable at a whiteboard debating testability of microservice architectures and how automated tests should provide coverage for each of these services.
  • You have a deep understanding of web technologies.
  • Proactively conduct research on new technologies and help introduce these where appropriate.
  • Advocate for all engineers in the team to be involved with the creation and maintenance of test tooling code.
  • You have strong communication skills and can articulate complex problems.
  • You are a natural problem solver.

Other skills we value:

  • Page object automated test design pattern.
  • Strong use of version control tools such as GIT.
  • Experience with AWS or other cloud providers.
  • Working knowledge of Jenkins or other CI tools.
  • Docker / Kubernetes.
  • Message queue technologies, Kafka or RabbitMQ.
