Test Automation Engineer
Join a high-impact modernization program where you will architect automated testing for cloud-native, API-driven public services. Your expertise will ensure quality, security, and performance across a complex ecosystem of microservices and CI/CD pipelines.
CONTEXT
Our client, a major player in its sector, is undertaking a once-in-a-generation modernization of a critical case-management platform. The existing eDossier system has served as the backbone for sensitive, high-volume processes, but it must now evolve into a cloud-native, API-first architecture. You will join a multidisciplinary team at the intersection of public service, technology, and data protection, where every test you design helps safeguard fairness, traceability, and trust. The program is not merely a technical upgrade; it is a strategic transformation that will affect thousands of professionals and citizens.
ACTIVITIES
