We're really looking for someone with robust experience in performance testing, especially with tools like JMeter and Groovy. Additionally, familiarity with monitoring solutions such as Grafana and Prometheus, cloud infrastructure skills, particularly with Kubernetes and Azure, as well as working on databases such as DB PostgreSQL, and CI/CD tools, are essential.

Responsibilities:

• Design and execute system-level tests to validate telecom platforms (e. g., provisioning, eSIM, Enterprise 5G Connect) under real-world conditions.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts using Cucumber (BDD) integrated with frameworks like Playwright or Selenium.
• Collaborate with Solution Architects, Product Owners, and Development Teams to define acceptance criteria and translate them into Gherkin scenarios.
• Develop and maintain automated tests integrated into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation and quality assurance.
• Analyse test results, identify root causes, and report defects using JIRA/Xray, ensuring traceability between user stories, test cases, and automation scripts.
• Design and implement BDD test scenarios using Cucumber and Gherkin syntax.
• Perform functional, integration, regression, and performance testing for web, API services, and cloud-based applications.
• Leverage strong coding skills in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python for test automation and custom tooling.
• Utilise testing tools such as Xray Test Management, Playwright, Selenium, and Postman.
• Work with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/Google Cloud) and containerised environments (Docker/Kubernetes) for deployment and testing.
• Validate High Availability and Geo-Redundant Systems for telecom-grade reliability.
• Apply domain knowledge in SIM and eSIM technologies, especially provisioning flows.

Requirements:

• Familiarity with Ericsson Adaptive Inventory is a plus.
• Strong experience with BDD frameworks (Cucumber, Behave) and Gherkin syntax.
• Proficiency in JavaScript, type script, or Python for automation scripting.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright, Selenium, or similar UI automation tools.
• Familiarity with API testing tools like Postman.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and test management tools (Jira, Xray).
• Preferred exposure to cloud-native architectures (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with Windows OS, EntraID, Intune, IOS. In particular, with eSim provisioning and activation.

Soft Skills:

• Detail-oriented, goal-driven, and highly organised, with a strong focus on quality and efficiency.
• Transparent communicator, consistently sharing progress, successes, and challenges throughout the testing cycle.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of identifying root causes and driving effective solutions.
