Environment Test Manager

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.

DevOps, Infrastructure and vendor partners.

Production alignment and drift control

• Drive and coordinate synchronisation between non-production and production — application

versions, configuration, interface contracts, reference and parameter data, certificates,

entitlements and infrastructure topology.

• Maintain a documented production-parity baseline per environment, with a deliberate,

approved record of every known deviation (scaled-down capacity, stubbed third parties,

disabled jobs) so teams understand the limits of any test result.

• 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.

• Track and publish utilisation and idle-time metrics, and use them to inform right-sizing,

consolidation and capacity investment cases.

• Integrate the booking view with existing tooling (ADO, pipelines, ITSM, monitoring) so

status is reflected automatically rather than maintained by hand.

• Agreed, repeatable refresh calendar met consistently, with validated post-refresh sign-off.
• Reduction in environment drift against the production-parity baseline, with all remaining

deviations documented and approved.

• Clash escalations resolved within agreed timelines, with a downward trend in recurring root

causes.
