The Team:

We're at an exciting point where there's ample opportunity to make a big impact in scaling the people, processes, and technology in service of that mission.

  • Lead the creation and maintenance of automation frameworks that support efficient testing and development practices.
  • Refactor existing codebases to enhance scalability, maintainability, and performance.
  • Implement SOLID design principles in automation projects to ensure high-quality, modular, and reusable code.
  • Integrate automation tools into the Test Life Cycle (TLC) and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) processes to streamline testing and deployment workflows.
  • Conduct static code analysis and improve code coverage using tools like SonarQube to ensure the quality and reliability of the automation code.
  • Develop and maintain tools that support both development and testing efforts, improving efficiency and effectiveness across the team.
  • Engage in stakeholder reporting, effectively communicating automation efforts, results, and impacts on the overall project timeline and quality.
  • Write code aimed at improving the overall testability of the software, ensuring that software designs support robust and efficient testing strategies.
  • Participation and contribution to the Inspired Testing Community of Practice.
  • Continuous improvement and contribution to Inspired Testing's standards.

Skills and Competencies:

  • Advanced knowledge and application of OOP principles in the context of automation.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipeline creation and maintenance.
  • Ability to mentor peers, troubleshoot complex issues, and guide project direction.
  • Proficient in code review processes and effective in resolving merge conflicts.
  • Advanced understanding of automation framework design and maintenance, with a focus on creating scalable and reusable components.
  • Proficiency in refactoring and applying SOLID design principles to automation projects.
  • Strong skills in integrating automation within TLC and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Expertise in using code analysis tools like SonarQube to maintain high standards of code quality and coverage.
  • Ability to develop tools that enhance the efficiency of development and testing processes.
  • Excellent communication skills for effective stakeholder reporting and team collaboration.
