About the Role
We are looking for a Quality Engineer to join the Search and AI Platform team. This is a hands-on, automation-first role focused on API and service-level testing, with quality embedded throughout the development lifecycle rather than validated at the end. You will work closely with software engineers, quality engineers and technical leads to ensure our search and retrieval services are reliable, scalable, and safe to consume by downstream product teams. You will be able to analyse complex systems, contribute meaningfully to engineering discussions, and take clear ownership of quality outcomes across your areas of the platform.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites for APIs and backend services using Karate, Cucumber with RestAssured.
- Write clean, maintainable, and reliable automated tests in Java that provide fast, accurate feedback to the team.
- Validate functional and non-functional behaviour of search and retrieval services, including error handling, reliability, and service interactions.
- Contribute to contract testing and service-level testing strategies across our REST and evolving GraphQL APIs.
- Integrate and maintain automated tests within CI/CD pipelines, supporting testing at multiple levels of the stack.
- Use observability tooling such as New Relic and logging to support diagnosis, monitoring, and quality analysis.
- Technically analyse problems and proposed solutions, recognising the right level of detail and abstraction to contribute to and lead engineering discussions.
- Contribute to incident reviews and post-mortems, improving test coverage to prevent repeat issues.
- Work with engineers early in the development process to shape acceptance criteria, surface edge cases, and improve overall testability.
Requirements
- Solid hands-on automation experience, thriving when working closely with software engineers.
- View testing as an engineering discipline and take pride in building quality in from the start.
- Collaborative, take ownership of work, and comfortable contributing to technical discussions.
- Good years of experience in software testing or quality engineering.
- Strong experience of API testing and/or contract testing, data formats, and service interactions.
- Strong coding and scripting ability in Java.
- Hands-on experience with Karate, Cucumber with RestAssured.
- Good exposure to CI/CD pipelines, supporting the integration of testing at various levels of the stack.
- Exposure to observability tooling such as New Relic or logging.
- The ability to technically analyse a problem and a solution, recognising the right level of detail and abstraction to lead discussions.
- Willingness to take ownership of assigned areas and continuously improve quality outcomes.
