• Lead upskilling and coaching initiatives including workshops, reviews, playbooks, and guidelines

• Create governance artefacts such as templates, checklists, dashboards, and engineering metrics

• Support change management through office hours, feedback loops, and regular progress reporting

• Ensure sustainable adoption of standards, not one-off improvements

What we are looking for

• Strong hands-on experience with Java and modern quality engineering practices

• Proven success in upskilling teams and implementing PR-based quality gates

• Practical experience with GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps pull request workflows

• Solid knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, static analysis, automated testing, and code quality tooling

• Demonstrated experience introducing and coaching teams in BDD practices

• Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills

• Nice to have:
