Assoc. Mgr., Engineering - MyWP Core SIT

Role Overview

The SIT Automation Lead will play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and stability of the MyWorldPanel platform during ongoing delivery and migration activities. This is a hands-on leadership role, responsible not only for defining the automation approach and quality standards, but also for actively contributing to framework design, script development, test execution, and technical problem-solving. The successful candidate will act as the automation SME for the team, combining practical automation expertise with leadership across planning, delivery, code quality, and continuous improvement.

The role would benefit from familiarity with AI-supported testing practices, including confidence using tools such as Microsoft Copilot or similar solutions to support test design, automation, and analysis. Candidates should be comfortable using simple prompts, reviewing AI-generated outputs, and adapting to additional AI tools as they become part of SIT testing activities.
