RESPONSIBILITIES AND ASSIGNMENTS

Operating model: The Innovation Squad designs, builds, and hardens solutions through production deployment and a structured handover. After go-live, Pearson internal engineering squads take long-term production ownership, on-call, and sustaining engineering. Implementation is predominantly Python (APIs, services, agents, data tooling, and test automation), but the squad is explicitly polyglot: you read, integrate with, and ship in other languages and runtimes when an initiative requires it—for example TypeScript for UI or BFFs, Go or .NET components, or shell in pipelines. Governance is not kept in standalone wikis or static document libraries. Pearson-aligned standards live in versioned Git packages as Architectural Fitness Agents (AFAs): Cursor rules (passive guardrails), agent skills (on-demand workflows), and related sub-agents. Teams install them into projects and evolve them continuously, consistent with the AFA executive model (for example install-afas.sh, architectural verdicts at pull-request time, and quarterly fitness trends).

Core responsibilities

· Own test strategy per initiative: pyramid coverage, contract and schema tests, integration, E2E, and negative or security-relevant scenarios.

· Build and maintain automation for APIs, UI, and messaging; integrate with CI using quality gates, reporting, and disciplined flake management.

· Validate behavior on Azure: Functions or App Service, Storage, and Service Bus; provision identity and test harnesses in non-production environments.

· Extend coverage to AWS when features require it, using Cloud Architect–approved environments.

· Test identity flows deeply: OAuth2/OIDC, client credentials, scopes, and negative authentication cases.

· Validate trust-boundary behavior: payload limits, tenant isolation, idempotency, and dead-letter handling per design.

· Prepare handover as versioned artifacts: test packs in repo, CI definitions, contract test suites, and explicit ownership-transfer criteria for receiving squads.

· Contribute to hardening AFA rules and skills for testing strategy, contract tests, and PR-time quality signals alongside architects.

· Deliver early outcomes: baseline automated regression for an active initiative with CI gates; agreed test data and environment strategy with Cloud Architect and DevOps

REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Essential technical skills:

· Extensive use of Cursor and Claude Code (or equivalent) to build, refactor, and review test code and pipelines.

· Strong Python-first test automation: Pytest as the default, with httpx or requests and Testcontainers-style patterns as needed; polyglot ability to own or support Playwright or Cypress (JavaScript or TypeScript), JUnit, or other frameworks when components are not Python-native.

· API-first and contract or schema-based testing; embedding tests in CI/CD pipelines.

· Azure-focused testing experience; willingness to automate against AWS services when needed.

· Familiarity with AFA testing-strategy and API-first rules as enforceable guidance, not paper-only standards.

Agile mindset and soft skills:

· Shift-left partner to developers: clarify acceptance criteria, test data, and environments early.

· Express quality expectations as executable tests and CI gates; use ADRs or short notes in Git only when they capture durable decisions.

· Pragmatic about automating stable contracts and critical paths over brittle UI-only coverage.

· Collaborate with Full Stack engineers, architects, the Cloud Architect, and DevOps on definition of done.

Desirable additional skills:

· Contract testing (e.g. Pact) or consumer-driven contracts for fast-evolving APIs.

· Post-deploy smoke tests coordinated with Terraform plan/apply and pipeline stages.

· Regulated industries; traceability from risk to automated test cases stored with the codebase.

· Pull requests that tighten AFA testing-strategy or observability guidance based on delivery learnings.
