AI in this role

At Julius Baer, we celebrate and value the individual qualities you bring, enabling you to be impactful, to be entrepreneurial, to be empowered, and to create value beyond wealth. Let’s shape the future of wealth management together.

The Test Environment and Data Specialist facilitates high quality software delivery in the CLM (Client Lifecycle Management) ART (Agile Release Train) by maintaining stable, compliant test environments and data. This role owns the full lifecycle of key systems (2 environments with synthetic test data and 3 environments with anonymised production data) and serves as the central contact for all operational matters on these test environments. The role thus requires strong coordination and communication skills.

Working closely with development, testing, operations, and external partners, this role keeps environments available, correctly configured, synchronised, and provisioned with synthetic or anonymised data. The role also enables Scrum Teams through self service guidelines, tooling, automation, and training to accelerate delivery while ensuring quality and compliance.

Design, build, configure, monitor, and maintain test environments
Keep Confluence documentation complete and current, covering environment purpose, integrations, supported modules, data types, and access/entry criteria
Continuously monitor environment health, performance, and configuration drift; drive proactive remediation
Coordinate environment refreshes (e.g. every half year production data is freshly anonymized and loaded into test environments), patches, upgrades, and incident resolution in line with change control

Environment Governance & Alignment

Define and enforce standard operating procedures for test environment usage across the ART
Provide clear, regular updates on environment readiness to Scrum Teams and stakeholders

Test Data Strategy & Provisioning

Own the full test data lifecycle: sourcing, preparation, provisioning, and retirement

Ensure Scrum Teams’ test data and environment needs are fully supported

Self‑Service Enablement

Define workflows enabling Scrum Teams to request and obtain test data efficiently, supported by a clear DoR and DoD

Gather team feedback continuously to improve usability, speed, and relevance of self‑service data offerings

Support & Collaboration

Troubleshoot and resolve access issues, permission errors, connectivity problems, and defects related to environments and test data
Support root‑cause analysis for environment or data‑related incidents.
Act as escalation point for environment or data impediments impacting sprint progress

Cross‑Functional Coordination

Partner with application teams and programs that rely on the CLM Test environments or on client-related test data. Maintain seamless integration and interoperability
Collaborate with CI/CD engineers to embed environment and data setups into automated release pipelines where applicable

YOUR PROFILE
