The impact you will create:

• Establish testing governance, driving a "shift-left" culture, and building robust, automated test structuresOptimizing CI/CD pipelines, enhancing code coverage, and ensuring high product quality through optimal test engineering.
• Test Strategy & Governance: Define and maintain clear rules and boundaries for our test frameworks to ensure consistency and eliminate redundant testing setups.
• Shift-Left Implementation: Restructure test execution to shift testing earlier in the development lifecycle and dependency chain, catching defects before they reach staging environments.
• Infrastructure Engineering: Build reusable testing primitives and automated scaffolding to enable developers to provision and OpenStack and internal API test environments efficiently.
• Automated Evaluation: Replace manual analysis with automated test reporting and evaluation tools to ensure scalable, reliable feedback loops.
• Pipeline Optimization: Design efficient test suites that improve meaningful code coverage while minimizing pipeline execution time and resource consumption.

Experience and skills you will need:

• Extensive experience in designing and implementing test architectures for complex software systems.
• Deep expertise in CI/CD methodology and "shift-left" testing principles.
• Solid understanding of OpenStack and API concepts to build effective test primitives.
• Proven ability to optimize test coverage vs. execution time.
• Experience in coding and scripting (e.g., Python, Go) for test automation and infrastructure management.
