You are comfortable working across infrastructure, integration, and quality assurance activities, and you understand what it takes to test systems that need to be resilient, secure, and operationally ready before they go anywhere near production. You will be embedded with platform engineers, architects, DevSecOps teams, and security specialists, helping to ensure that cloud-native solutions operating within secure private cloud environments meet the highest standards of assurance. This is not a checkbox testing role - the environments are complex, the stakes are high, and the quality bar is set accordingly. You may also get involved with: * Testing and assurance activities across cloud-native platforms, infrastructure, deployments, and platform configurations running in secure GCP and private cloud environments * Validating integrations, service interactions, and platform behaviour under realistic conditions, including resilience and failure scenarios * Contributing to automated testing and continuous testing practices within CI/CD pipelines * Supporting integration, operational readiness, and deployment assurance activities ahead of release * Defect analysis, root cause investigation, and feeding findings back into continuous improvement * Contributing to testing standards, tooling decisions, and quality engineering approaches across delivery teams * Supporting compliance, audit, and accreditation evidence requirements within secure delivery environments ## Related Videos - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Testing .NET applications a Tool box for every developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/704-testing-net-applications-a-tool-box-for-every-developer) - [DevSecOps: Security in DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/36-devsecops-security-in-devops) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
