You’ll collaborate closely with DevOps, SRE, and network specialists to embed testing excellence into every stage of delivery. You will drive automation, integrate testing within CI/CD workflows, and use advanced monitoring insights to anticipate and resolve issues before they impact operations. Supported by a culture of collaboration and continuous learning, you’ll help shape robust infrastructure that delivers dependable, secure outcomes for CGI clients.

- Monitor & Diagnose: Analyse logs and telemetry via Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK to detect anomalies and inform continuous improvement.
- Collaborate & Document: Work with platform engineers and SREs to define coverage, maintain traceability, and capture results for release assurance.
