Senior🎓
Top SchoolMiles Illsley is a Lead Product Validation Engineer with nine years of experience designing and implementing test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure across finance, energy, and enterprise software. He’s shipped automated testing for front-end web apps, API/database integrations and a cross-device chatbot, and recently led a cross-team effort to define and automate a risk-minimising testing strategy for a cloud backend using a Python BDD framework. Comfortable in Node.js, Ruby, Java and scripting plus tools like Playwright, Cypress, Selenium and JMeter, he blends hands-on test engineering with DevOps practices (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker) to close gaps between development and production. Miles has delivered internal training on test automation and routinely builds pipelines in TeamCity, Jenkins and Harness to ensure repeatable releases. Prior roles span consultancy and in-house teams at GlobalLogic, Barclays, bp and News UK, giving him a pragmatic approach to differing delivery cultures and regulatory constraints. With a physics degree from Exeter, he brings analytical rigour and a propensity for turning exploratory ideas into auditable, automated test suites.
