Slightly off topic - CF testing related - Looking for a permanent remote UK based Automation Engineer (if anyone knows any) - In the region of £40k + £4k bonus https://app.occupop.com/shared/job/automation-test-engineer-a6545/

Is that a pretty standard salary rate for an automation engineer? Maybe the current weird lbs/dollar conversion is throwing me, but I made 40k/year 30 years ago as a junior computer support lackey at UC Davis, which is not known for paying very well. Is this basically someone that scaffolds up CI/CD pipelines with automated tests using stuff like Selenium and Jest and the like?

From our research it seems a standard sort of rate - tech salaries in the US do seem to go WAY higher in general. The role is general automated testing using CI/CD when we get there

Ah! OK makes sense. Yeah, I mean these days things over here are pretty crazy. A friend of mine who is a lead engineer/architect is close to crossing 1/2 million a year. He works for a pretty huge company AND he's brilliant, but I was like... damn lol 🤣

nice! sign me up 🤯

haha RIGHT? To be fair, even with how much I work here at Adobe, this dude HUSTLES. And is way smarter than me. Plus, you know, I get to work with ColdFusion. Which is worth its weight in gold. 😉

Thats to be decided, we are pretty manual on front end testing at the moment. But we would be looking at something using selenium, possibly a saas provider.

£40K for a CI engineer? That is super low even for the UK

its a test position using automated tools not a CI engineer

Ok. Even so. QA people are the gold on the company. They know the business processes.
