This position is accountable for delivering and sustaining automated quality practices across Digital Enterprise project teams.
The person in this role will be accountable for:
Identifying and resolving quality and automation blockers to maintain project velocity and proactively suggesting solutions and mitigation techniques to prevent delays to delivery.
Gaining and maintaining expertise in Chubb standard automation frameworks, contributing to framework selection decisions and ensuring the team's tooling stays current and effective.
Independently creating and managing test and automation scripts across projects, with a strong emphasis on reusability, maintainability, and coverage completeness.
Developing robust and reusable automation libraries and script architectures that can be adopted across multiple project teams and delivery squads.
Designing comprehensive quality strategies for complex products within projects, covering functional, integration, performance, and regression testing dimensions.
Presenting quality strategies, test results, and risk assessments in project reviews and sprint demonstrations, communicating clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous quality feedback throughout the development lifecycle, reducing the cost of defect discovery.
Defining and enforcing automation standards, coding patterns, and best practices across engineering teams to ensure consistency and long-term maintainability of the test estate.
Establishing performance baselines, thresholds, and SLA targets in collaboration with architects and platform owners and tracking degradation trends across releases.
Mentoring Quality Engineers to foster hands-on growth through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and direct guidance, actively contributing to increasing the automation and performance practices
