Deloitte CE

✔ Do you have hands-on experience designing and building scalable test automation frameworks, and want to play a key role in ensuring the quality of modern digital solutions?
✔ Are you someone who enjoys getting into the technical detail — automation architecture, CI/CD pipelines, performance and load testing — while also being able to explain root causes and quality risks to developers, architects, and product owners?
✔ Do you see yourself owning end-to-end test strategy across all test layers, working closely with cross-functional teams to embed quality into every stage of the SDLC?

If you're motivated by building robust automation frameworks, driving Quality Engineering best practices, and helping teams ship reliable software faster — all within a collaborative, international Digital Team — we'd love to meet you 🚀
