• Development and maintenance of automated processes and backend integrations (e.g., scheduled diagnostics, reporting mechanisms)

• Administration of supporting databases used by the testing platforms

• Documentation of environments, procedures, and technical configurations

• Provide second- and third-level support to internal teams and external sourcing partners

• Maintain reporting and analytics modules related to testing activities

You check these boxes:

• Proficiency with Windows Server environments (2019 and newer)

• Basic knowledge of MS SQL Server or similar RDBMS platforms

• Familiarity with virtual client infrastructures (VCI)

• Intermediate scripting skills (e.g., PowerShell 5+ or similar)

• Familiarity with web server technologies (e.g., Microsoft IIS 10+)

• Basic understanding of web architecture including GUI and non-GUI applications

• Fluent in English (spoken and written)

• Readiness to expand knowledge across multiple test automation ecosystems

  Nice to have:

• Experience with at least one automation platform (e.g., TOSCA, Playwright, Selenium, Cypress) including:

• Platform-specific scripting or query language

• Test case orchestration and execution

• Overview of test suite configuration and deployment features
