About the role
As the Test Automation Lead, you will drive the adoption and maturity of test automation across multiple teams and technology stacks within CSC, with a strong focus on

  • Support integration of automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast and reliable feedback loops.
  • Stay informed of industry trends and continuously assess new tools and approaches to improve automation coverage and efficiency.
  • Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and high-quality delivery.

Specific duties, deliverables and reporting lines may vary, depending on business needs and priorities. Key objectives and measurements will be captured in the Performance & Development planning cycle, established annually and adapted as needed.

  • Proven experience with TOSCA for building test automation, including framework design, execution, and maintenance is required.
  • Demonstrated experience in testing Data and Analytics projects, including Data Engineering, data warehousing, reporting, and analytics.
  • Strong background in test automation principles, methodologies, and building scalable frameworks.
  • Ability to mentor teams on best practices in test automation within collaborative, cross-functional environments.
  • Hands-on experience with API testing using tools like TOSCA, Postman, REST Assured, or SoapUI.
  • Familiar with Agile methodologies, continuous integration tools, and both functional and non-functional testing principles.
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, or similar would be desirable.
  • Proficiency in scripting and programming languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, or C#.
  • Hands-on experience with API testing using tools like Postman, REST Assured, or SoapUI.
  • Experienced in performance testing using NeoLoad, alongside functional and non-functional testing principles.
  • Knowledge of financial services applications, including banking, payments, trading, superannuation, insurance or regulatory compliance.
  • Familiarity with cloud-based testing platforms and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) is an advantage.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across teams.
