Summary: Skilled QA Automation Test Engineer needed to design, build, and execute selenium-based load-testing scripts for PowerBI Fabric. The role focuses on validating performance, scalability, and reliability while automating test scenarios to ensure optimal workload performance. The position is primarily remote with occasional in-person workshops in London. The contract runs until 30/09/2026 and requires SC clearance eligibility.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop Selenium WebDriver scripts and test cases that simulate high-level user interactions across PowerBI Fabric experiences.
  • Build scalable automation flows that mimic report and dataset opening, navigation actions, and refresh events.
  • Create parameterized and data-driven scripts to vary user patterns, concurrency levels, and execution timing.
  • Develop regression test script pack.
  • Design and execute load, stress, and endurance tests specifically targeting PowerBI Fabric capacity limits.
  • Capture metrics such as response times, resource consumption, and capacity exhaustion behaviour.
  • Integrate Selenium tests with performance-oriented tools i.e. JMeter.
  • Configure distributed/parallel Selenium execution.
  • Ensure automation runs effectively at scale across multiple browsers and sessions.

Key Skills:

  • Strong hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver and UI automation frameworks.
  • Proven experience designing and executing load, stress, and scalability tests.
  • Proficiency in one or more automation languages (Python, Java).
  • Knowledge of distributed workload execution, multi-threading and parallelisation concepts, REST API testing and validation, and familiarity with Microsoft PowerBI, Fabric workloads, or similar analytical tools.
  • Strong attention to details and analytical thinking.
  • Excellent problem solving and debugging skills.
  • Clear communicator able to articulate findings to engineering, delivery manager and leadership teams.
  • Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively in cross-functional environment.
  • Microsoft Power BI performance testing desirable.
