  • Define test approaches and strategies, ensuring alignment with project requirements and industry standards.
  • Troubleshoot and debug complex systems, identifying and resolving issues through effective problem-solving.
  • Measure and report system quality metrics, leveraging tools like AWS Jira and other test management platforms.
  • Identify and automate opportunities across build, release, testing, and continuous integration workflows.


Skills and Experience Required

  • Expertise in automation tools and frameworks, particularly Cypress, JMeter, and React component testing.
  • Strong experience with CI/CD integration for automated testing workflows.
  • Advanced problem-solving skills with a proven ability to handle complex testing scenarios.
  • Knowledge of programming tools, techniques, and best practices, with the ability to mentor and guide other team members.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.


Contract Details

  • Contract Length: 3 months (potential for extension).
  • Location: Hybrid – 2-3 days onsite per week in Stratford or Bluefin London office.
  • Rate: £600-£650/day (Inside IR35, based on experience).
