Position Description:
This role is hybrid and requires you to be at our downtown Toronto and/or Client office (Waterpark Place, 88 Queens Quay West.) at a minimum 4 days per week - subject to change at any time.
We seek an experienced Test Environment Manager to establish, maintain, and optimize our Development, QA, and User Acceptance Testing environments. This role is critical to ensuring our Capital Markets technology platform operates reliably across all testing phases. You will own the end-to-end environment lifecycle, conduct daily health assessments, and provide visibility into environment status and incident management.
Your future duties and responsibilities:
Key Responsibilities
Environment Establishment & Maintenance You will design and implement comprehensive environments spanning Dev, QA, and UAT stages. This includes setting up infrastructure, configuring systems, installing required software and dependencies, and documenting all environment specifications. You'll maintain version consistency, manage patches and updates, and ensure environments remain aligned with production-parity standards where appropriate.
Daily Health Checks & Sanity Runs Each morning, you will execute standardized sanity test runs to validate that all environments are functioning correctly. These checks will verify system availability, database connectivity, API endpoints, and critical service dependencies. You'll document results and immediately escalate any failures to relevant teams, ensuring issues are resolved before development and testing teams begin their workday.
Issue Resolution & Troubleshooting You will investigate and resolve environment-related incidents, including connectivity failures, configuration drift, resource constraints, and deployment issues. Working collaboratively with infrastructure, development, and QA teams, you'll identify root causes, implement fixes, and prevent recurrence through process improvements and documentation.
Reporting & Tracking You will maintain detailed environment status reports documenting uptime, downtime incidents, resolution times, and trend analysis. Reports will be shared with stakeholders to provide visibility into environment reliability and to support capacity planning and process optimization decisions.
