Job description

This role is based in India and as such all normal working days must be carried out in India.

Join us as an E2E Test Lead

You’ll provide leadership across all quality matters within the platform or domain, championing testing excellence, automation-first practices and compliance with bank standards and policies

Play a key role in making sure changes move seamlessly from development into live environments through automated testing embedded within CI/CD pipelines

Build your expertise in quality engineering while working with a wide range of stakeholders across a collaborative technology environment.

We are offering this role at vice president level

What you’ll do

As our E2E Test Lead, you’ll make sure only well-designed and thoroughly validated solutions progress through testing, with a strong focus on automated functional assurance. You’ll make sure defects are identified, prioritised and resolved early based on business impact, supporting right-first-time customer outcomes by combining modern testing practices, automation and close collaboration across Agile teams.

You'll define quality and functional testing strategies aligned to shift-left principles, automation and CI/CD delivery. You'll also develop robust test plans that support the efficient and continuous flow of change across programmes, platforms and value streams.

You’ll also be:

Leading end-to-end test management, including planning, governance, risk management, issue resolution, dependency management and lessons learned

Driving functional testing strategy across programmes, promoting consistency, scalability, and reuse of automated test assets

Partnering with quality automation specialists to develop automated tests and analyse test outcomes

Embedding continuous testing through CI/CD pipelines, enabling rapid feedback, early defect detection and efficient test execution

Leading the transition towards fully automated functional testing through scalable frameworks and automation practices

Leveraging AI and intelligent tools to accelerate test design, test data generation, execution and defect prediction

Championing customer-focused design principles and continuously improving the solution quality and customer experiences

The skills you'll need

We’re looking for someone with strong experience applying modern testing methodologies, including Agile approaches such as test-driven development and behaviour-driven development. You'll bring expertise across a broad range of test automation tools, alongside experience delivering testing activities within technology environments. You'll also need experience of the systems development lifecycle and modern quality engineering practices.

To succeed in this role, you’ll also bring the ability to relate day-to-day activities to broader platform, domain and enterprise objectives, with a focus on business outcomes.

We’ll expect you to have:

Practical experience testing ideas, products and designs, from planning through to execution

Experience across functional and non-functional testing, with deep expertise in system, integration and end-to-end functional testing

Strong experience in building and scaling automated testing frameworks across UI, API and service-level testing

Experience implementing shift-left testing practices, including TDD, BDD, early test design and requirements validation

Hands-on experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab or Azure DevOps

Familiarity with AI-enabled testing tools or agent-based approaches to improve testing efficiency, coverage and quality
