The Opportunity
We're looking for a Quality Engineering Architect / Test Automation Architect to join a key client engagement.
This is not a pure hands‐on automation role — we're looking for someone who can design, shape, and uplift automation capability, while still being technically credible.

- Strong understanding of:
- CI/CD, DevOps, and modern delivery practices
- Experience working across multiple teams / programs
- Ability to translate strategy into practical implementation
What We're Looking For
- A strong technical foundation (not just leadership)
- Someone with an "architecture mindset" — able to design solutions, not just execute
- Clear opinion on best practice and how to achieve it
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Ability to take initiative and lead from the front
Nice to Have
- Experience building or scaling automation accelerators / reusable frameworks
