Shift left, automate earlier and better. Improve the product.
You already know how to automate. Frameworks from scratch, APIs, UIs, and regression testing too. The company has nailed manual testing, but the knowledge to take the function to the next level is lacking. They need you, and all your automation experience to come in and make automation happen.
You have a solid understanding of all things automation and can code with a huge preference for Java as this is the codebase. CI/CD and code management is GitLab, and the cloud is Google. In terms of testing, they have JUnit with Mockito for the backend, Cypress for frontend, and are looking to adopt and implement Test Driven Development across the development teams.
The company operates within the realms of low latency, with data points numbering 18,000 a second when things are getting busy. Remote work is the norm, with the team distributed across the UK and used to collaborating to solve problems virtually. You would be rewarded with discounted sky packages, training budgets to grow yourself professionally, and pension contributions way above industry standards.
Lead out a transformation of both technology and culture. Monolith to microservices, scalability, SLIs, and SLOs.
