About the Role
We are growing our Quality Engineering team and looking for a Quality Engineer who cares about quality as an outcome, not a phase. You will help us build it in from the start, shaping how we prevent defects, automate confidently, and ship continuously. This is quality engineering, not just testing. You will own quality across the software lifecycle, partnering with developers and product from the first conversation, shifting testing left, and using the right mix of automated and exploratory approaches for the problem in front of you.
Responsibilities
- Contribute test code alongside the team, adhering to established frameworks and engineering best practices.
- Develop and maintain continuous testing (functional and non-functional) and help our CI/CD pipelines give fast, trustworthy feedback.
- Run system, integration, regression and exploratory testing to validate functionality, performance and the real user experience.
- Take part in pull-request reviews to uphold code quality and standards, and share what you learn with the team.
- Track coverage and cases clearly, manage QA work and defects in JIRA, and keep the team honest about where we stand.
- Spot friction in the delivery process and help us remove it.
Requirements
- At least 5 years in Quality Assurance or Test Engineering, with a real mix of automated and manual testing.
- ISTQB Foundation Level certification (or an equivalent professional qualification).
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to work smarter in quality engineering, especially in test automation, and the drive to bring those practices into the team and help others adopt them.
- Confidence with at least one of C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, or scripting such as PowerShell.
- Hands-on experience with modern automation tooling such as Playwright or Appium (web and mobile).
- A working understanding of CI/CD pipelines and test automation design patterns.
- SQL skills to validate data and carry out backend testing.
- Experience with SaaS and cloud environments, particularly AWS.
- Familiarity with BDD/TDD methodologies and modern testing frameworks.
- Middleware testing and building mock services for robust, isolated test scenarios.
- Comfortable with distributed source control and session-based exploratory testing.
- Clear communication: you can explain technical ideas simply, to technical and non-technical people alike.
- Cool under pressure: you adapt fast, juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball, and do your sharpest work when the heat is on.
- A can-do spark: a self-starter who brings energy, owns the outcome, and is always hungry to achieve more.
- Strong problem-solving instincts and an eye for detail.
