We’re looking for a Test Automation and Release Engineer, competent with JavaScript, C# and .NET to design, build, and maintain automated test suites that validate our integration solutions, maximising test coverage for the most critical data flows and processes across our enterprise systems landscape.
With a particular focus on Azure integration services such as Function Apps, and Service Bus, you’ll create and manage automation environments for both unit testing of individual integration components and System Integration Testing (SIT) of end-to-end integration flows.
