We are looking for an experienced BDD Tester Architect to support a remote project focused on building and operating an AI-supported software development platform.

This is a part time project role, ideal for a senior test automation specialist or test architect with strong BDD experience.

Role overview

You will be responsible for setting up and supporting Cucumber-based integration tests, automated through Jenkins and managed through Jira. The role requires someone who can design and implement a structured BDD testing approach rather than simply execute test cases.

Key responsibilities

1. Set up and structure Cucumber/BDD integration tests.
2. Create and maintain Gherkin-based test scenarios and step definitions.
3. Integrate automated tests into Jenkins pipelines.
4. Work with Jira tickets, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
5. Support the test automation architecture for integration testing.
6. Collaborate with technical teams working across Back End, cloud, and AI-supported development environments.

Mandatory experience

• Strong experience with BDD/Behaviour Driven Development.
• Hands-on experience with Cucumber, Gherkin, Behave, or closely related BDD tooling.
• Experience setting up or designing test automation frameworks.
• Experience with automated integration testing.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, ideally Jenkins.
• Ability to work independently in a senior/architect-level testing role.

Nice to have

• Selenium experience.
• App testing experience.
• Python experience, especially with Behave or Python-based automation.
• Jenkins pipeline experience.
• Jira test workflow experience.
• AI, LLM, GenAI, or AI-assisted development platform knowledge.
• Backend, API, cloud, or microservices testing experience.

Ideal candidate

The ideal candidate will be a senior BDD Test Automation Architect or QA Automation Architect who has previously designed and implemented BDD test frameworks using Cucumber/Gherkin/Behave, integrated automated tests into Jenkins, and worked with Jira-based requirements or acceptance criteria.
