Test Environment

Job Requirements
Environment Management (Non-Production)
Role purpose
We are looking for an experienced engineers to own the end-to-end management of bank's non-
production estate. The role is accountable for the availability, configuration integrity and production
alignment of every non-prod environment — System Integration (SIT), User Acceptance (UAT),
Performance, Pre-Production/Staging, Training and Demo — across all digital and core banking
programmes.
Beyond keeping environments up, the role is expected to run non-prod as a managed service: a
published booking and utilisation dashboard, a governed clash-resolution process, a predictable data
refresh calendar, and a demonstrable measure of how far each environment has drifted from
Drive and coordinate synchronisation between non-production and production — application
versions, configuration, interface contracts, reference and parameter data, certificates,
entitlements and infrastructure topology.
Define and report an environment drift metric; run scheduled drift assessments and drive
remediation before major test phases.
Work with Release Management and Change to ensure production changes, emergency fixes
and vendor patches are reflected in the relevant non-prod environments on a defined lag,
with the lag itself agreed and visible.
Ensure integration points (core banking, payments, middleware, third-party and fintech
partners) are represented consistently across environments, with clear ownership of
connectivity, credentials and certificate renewals.
Troubleshooting and continuous improvement
Lead rapid triage and resolution of environment incidents, keeping affected programmes
informed with clear status and expected recovery.
Distinguish environment defects from application defects early, protecting test teams from
wasted cycles and keeping defect metrics clean.
Run root cause analysis on recurring environment failures and implement preventive
measures.
Identify and progress opportunities for service virtualisation and stubbing where third-party
or downstream availability is a recurring constraint.
Documentation, reporting and stakeholder communication
Maintain comprehensive, current documentation for environment architectureource of truth for non-prod environment status and bookings.
