About the Role
This is a great opportunity to join our team - Employer of the Year Housing Heroes awards 2025. If you’re competent with Git, Azure DevOps Pipelines, have a solid understanding of Azure integration services and experience testing integration solutions, then this could be the opportunity for you! 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. Using appropriate automation tools and frameworks to design, test, and deploy effective test automation solutions, you’ll automate as much of the testing effort as possible with a minimum set of code, ensuring that integration solutions are reliable, resilient, and performant before they reach production. You’ll also manage releases between environments, supporting the safe and seamless delivery of integration changes. Experience in testing integration solutions involving APIs (REST, SOAP), message queues, and event-driven architectures is vital. With hybrid working, base locations across England and flexible working arrangements this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for!
