YOUR CHALLENGE

• Own the product vision, roadmap, and backlog for the bank’s global test automation platform.
• Lead the platform lifecycle from discovery and design to delivery, operation, and continuous improvement.
• Work closely with development teams to understand their needs and translate them into valuable platform capabilities.
• Advance testing-as-code through an API-first platform with seamless CI/CD integration.
• Provide technical leadership and guide architecture, technology choices, and engineering practices.

• Hands-on experience with performance, functional, or end-to-end testing and tools such as Playwright, k6, Selenium, or similar.
