Poland onlyAt Clarion, our people are at the absolute heart of what we do. We’re proud that our core values of PASSION, CARE, IMAGINATION, and TRUST define the way we carry out our work across all of our exhibitions and conferences.
If you share our values and want to be a part of a successful, dynamic, and creative global business then we want to hear from you.
The Opportunity:
(Please note this role, although remote, requires someone who lives in Poland where a contract of employment will be either B2B or an Employer of Record).
As part of Clarion Digital Media’s continued growth, we are seeking an experienced Test Automation Engineer to establish and scale our test capability for Dynamics 365 and Dataverse as well as our internal APIs. You will design and deliver automated tests using C#, ReqnRoll (BDD) and Playwright, and you’ll act as the day‑to‑day testing lead communicating with stakeholders and vendors.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and Implement Test Automation: Build and maintain robust, scalable automated test suites for several applications including Dynamics 365 (CE/Dataverse) using C#, ReqnRoll (BDD) and Playwright for UI and end‑to‑end scenarios. Create reusable automation frameworks and libraries; enforce coding standards, version control and branching strategies.
- Plan, Coordinate and Communicate: Serve as the primary testing contact for engineering, product and vendor teams; own test plans, reports, defect triage and stakeholder updates. Facilitate test governance (entry/exit criteria, risk/impact assessment) across SIT, E2E, UAT and regression cycles. Coordinate with third‑party partners to ensure their test strategies, plans and evidence meet Clarion expectations.
- Quality Engineering & Process: Define and refine test strategies, test data management and environment usage (SIT/UAT/Perf). Embed BDD practices with Product/BA teams to turn acceptance criteria into executable specifications. Collaborate with engineers to integrate quality checks early in the lifecycle.
- CI/CD & Tooling: Integrate automated tests into Azure DevOps pipelines (YAML) for continuous testing (build, nightly, and pre‑release gates). Utilise Azure DevOps Test Plans for traceability from user stories to test cases and results; maintain dashboards for coverage and quality trends.
- Troubleshooting and Support: Investigate test failures and product defects across Dynamics 365 customisations, plugins and integrations. Provide clear, actionable defect reports with steps, logs, screenshots/videos and impact analysis.
- Documentation: Produce and maintain comprehensive documentation: test strategy, frameworks, standards, runbooks, and release-quality sign‑off packs.
