Our team consists of highly-skilled cross-functional consultants, analysts, and support staff.


About the Role:

  • Work closely with developers, platform SMEs, and other stakeholders to ensure quality assurance at every stage.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for all test processes and results.


Key Deliverables:


Functional and non-functional test results for infrastructure and application changes, including:


  • Migration of EC2-based applications to AWS ECS-based solutions.
  • Replacement of EC2 nodes with TypeScript Lambdas and AWS Batch.
  • Decommissioning of legacy resources (EC2, Jenkins, Puppet, Terraform) post-testing.
  • Validation of containerised and CI/CD pipeline deployments.
  • Supporting PHP refactoring to facilitate containerisation.


Required Skills and Experience:


  • Strong experience in testing platforms utilising Docker and AWS ECS/ECR.
  • Proficiency in creating and executing regression and performance testing.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD workflows, particularly GitHub Actions.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
  • Strong understanding of security best practices and testing, including support for penetration testing.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of cloud environments and AWS services, such as S3, IAM roles, CloudWatch, and RDS.


Benefits:


  • Join a rapidly expanding start-up where personal growth is a part of our DNA.
  • Benefit from a flexible work environment focused on deliverable outcomes.
  • Receive private medical insurance through Aviva.
  • Enjoy the benefits of a company pension plan through Nest.
  • 25 days of annual leave plus UK bank holidays.
  • Access Perkbox, a global employee rewards platform offering discounts, perks, and wellness resources.
  • Participate in a generous employee referral program.
  • A highly collaborative and collegial environment with opportunities for career advancement.
  • Be encouraged to take bold steps and embrace a mindset of experimentation.
  • Choose your preferred device, PC or Mac.


Diversity & Inclusion:


Here at Amber Labs, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace for all. Our commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion includes:


  • Valuing the unique experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of all employees and creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.


  • Prohibiting all forms of harassment, bullying, discrimination, and victimisation and promoting a culture of dignity and respect for all.


  • Educating all new hires on our Diversity and Inclusion policies and ensuring they are aware of their rights and responsibilities to create a safe and inclusive workplace.


  • By taking these steps, we are dedicated to building a workplace that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our employees and communities.


What Happens Next?


Our Talent Acquisition Team will be in touch to advise you on the next steps. We have a two-stage interview process for most of our consultants. In certain cases, we may include a third and final stage, which is a conversation with the company Partners. This will only be considered if deemed necessary.
