🚀 We’re Hiring: Senior Test Strategy Consultant - Cloud-Native Platforms & Test Automation (1-2 Year Fixed Term Employment)

Hykmann Global Business Solutions AB is looking for an experienced Senior Test Strategy Consultant for a challenging consulting assignment focused on platform migration, product quality, test architecture, and end-to-end test automation.

We are seeking a hands-on testing expert who can define and implement a practical test strategy for modern, distributed, cloud-native platforms. The ideal candidate combines strategic quality assurance expertise with strong technical capabilities in test automation, CI/CD integration, non-functional testing, and customer-delivery validation.

🔧 About the Role

You will define how products and professional services should be tested throughout the product development and customer-delivery lifecycle as part of a migration to a new technology platform.

Working closely with architects, DevOps engineers, Product teams, Professional Services, OEM customers, and suppliers, you will establish clear testing standards, define ownership and responsibilities, improve testability, and enable reliable automated testing across multiple test levels.

This is a hands-on consulting role that combines test strategy, technical implementation, stakeholder alignment, and coaching to establish sustainable quality practices across the organization.

💻 Key Responsibilities

Define and implement a practical test strategy aligned with the new cloud-native technology platform and DevOps operating model.

Establish appropriate test levels, including unit, component, API, contract, integration, system, non-functional, and end-to-end testing.

Define non-functional requirement (NFR) testability requirements to ensure products are observable, diagnosable, automatable, and reliable.

Work directly with architects and DevOps teams to implement test automation, CI/CD integration, and automated quality gates.

Define testing ownership and responsibility boundaries between product development and customer-specific delivery.

Establish end-to-end testing across products, professional services, customer configurations, external integrations, and critical business workflows.

Define standards for test data, test environments, observability, diagnostics, test isolation, and test-result reporting.

Establish approaches for regression, smoke, negative, performance, resilience, security, contract, and production-verification testing.

Assess existing products to identify testability gaps, technical risks, dependencies, and improvement opportunities.

Develop automated test suites and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines.

Recommend suitable tools and approaches for automated execution, reporting, and end-to-end traceability.

Create clear testing guidance and onboarding materials for developers, DevOps teams, OEM customers, customer test teams, and suppliers.

Coach engineering and delivery teams to adopt, implement, and maintain the test strategy.
