🔍 Overview

We’re partnering with a leading organization in a highly technical, regulated industry seeking a hands-on DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on test automation and performance testing.

This is a high-impact, individual contributor role where you’ll own automation, CI/CD pipeline evolution, and performance validation—acting as a key bridge between development and QA.

If you enjoy autonomy, solving complex performance challenges, and driving quality at scale—this is a great opportunity.

🧠 What You’ll Be Doing

✅ Automation & Quality Engineering

• Design and maintain automated test frameworks for modern web applications
• Own UI test automation (Selenium, Playwright, SpecFlow, etc.)
• Enhance test coverage, stability, and execution speed
• Integrate testing (UI, functional, performance) into CI pipelines

⚡ Performance & Scalability

• Execute load, performance, and scale testing
• Identify bottlenecks and partner with engineering to improve system performance
• Validate system behavior under real-world usage conditions

🔧 DevOps & CI/CD

• Own and evolve Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
• Improve release workflows and feedback cycles
• Automate processes to reduce manual overhead
• Troubleshoot pipeline, build, and environment issues independently

🤝 Ownership & Collaboration

• Serve as the technical bridge between QA and Development
• Operate with high autonomy and accountability
• Communicate risks, findings, and improvement opportunities clearly

✅ What We’re Looking For

Core Experience

• Experience in DevOps, QA Automation, or SDET roles
• Strong background in test automation for web applications
• Hands-on experience with Selenium, Playwright, SpecFlow, or similar frameworks
• Proven experience in performance/load testing
• Solid knowledge of Azure DevOps (CI/CD Pipelines)
• Working knowledge of C# in Windows development environments
• Ability to work independently and prioritize effectively

Nice to Have

• API and integration testing experience
• Familiarity with tools like JMeter, k6, or similar
• Exposure to cloud environments (Azure or AWS)
• Experience owning automation or DevOps functions end-to-end

🌟 Why This Role?

• High ownership and visibility—not just another cog in the machine
• Opportunity to shape DevOps and automation practices
• Work in a lean, high-trust environment where your impact is immediate
• Strong potential for long-term contract extension
