Test Architect

Duration: 6+ Months

Location:

Overview:
Every Turnberry consultant belongs to a practice, an internal group of consultants and leaders with shared experience and expertise. Each of these practices aligns to one of the core services Turnberry offers to clients. As a Test Architect, you will join Turnberry's Data Strategy and Intelligence practice and service. This service provides insights into company data, advanced analytics solutions, robust data governance, and tailored solutions for specific data challenges.

Responsibilities:

Architect the Agentic Headless Layer

Deploy autonomous agents that utilize Playwright's native API capabilities to validate business logic, service contracts, and state transitions without ever opening a browser

95/5 Pyramid Implementation

Drive a "Headless-First" strategy

95% of the agentic swarm will operate at the API and Data layers; the remaining 5% will use Multi-modal Playwright Agents to reason through the UI

Autonomous Intent-Based Testing

Replace static "Step 1, Step 2" scripts with Objective-Based Agents

Build systems where an agent is given a goal and autonomously determines the optimal API/UI path to validate it

Self-Healing Infrastructure

Implement LLM-driven perception to allow agents to detect schema shifts or UI changes and autonomously refactor their own interaction logic, eliminating manual maintenance

Generative Data and ETL Swarms

Architect agents that understand our ETL pipelines and synthesize high-entropy, production-mirroring test data to validate complex data integrity at scale

Event-Driven Quality Observability

Integrate agentic triggers into the CI/CD pipeline

Qualifications:

10+ years of experience

Engineering Mastery:
Expert-level Type Script/Node.js or Python with a deep focus on Playwright for both UI and API orchestration

Systems Thinking:
Deep understanding of microservices, and event-driven architecture

The "Zero-Script" Philosophy:
Commitment to the idea that any test a human has to manually "record" is a future failure point
