About the Role

You will be part of an agile delivery team helping clients achieve meaningful business transformation, embedded alongside developers and product owners with a shared responsibility for quality. Java-based test engineering is at the core of what you will be doing, and the expectation is that you bring real depth to it.

Responsibilities

Designing, building, and maintaining Java-based automation frameworks from the ground up, producing test code that is structured, reusable, version-controlled, and maintainable to the same standard as production code
Delivering automated test coverage across functional, cross-browser, API, integration, and acceptance testing layers, with overnight regression runs that the team can rely on
Building and extending API test suites using frameworks such as Karate or REST-assured, validating service contracts, data integrity, and integration behaviour
Defining and executing test strategies, plans, and scripts across agile delivery cycles, with clear traceability from requirements through to test coverage
Supporting development teams to write and automate tests that guide development, including contributing to test-driven and behaviour-driven approaches where appropriate
Performing front-end cross-browser functional testing, exploratory testing, system integration testing, and user acceptance testing as the engagement requires
Accurate defect recording, monitoring, and root cause analysis, feeding quality data back into the team to drive continuous improvement
Reviewing and improving test environments, CI/CD pipeline integration, and test processes to maintain high quality standards across the delivery lifecycle
Providing test estimates and contributing to planning sessions with a realistic, evidence-based view of testing effort.

Requirements

Strong, demonstrable Java skills — you should be able to build, review, and own Java-based test automation frameworks.
Proven experience designing and implementing automation frameworks using Java, with hands-on knowledge of tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, or Karate.
Solid experience delivering automated test coverage across functional, cross-browser, API, integration, and acceptance testing, ideally with overnight regression pipelines.
Practical experience with API testing using Java-based frameworks, including the ability to write contract tests, validate request/response behaviour, authentication flows, and data consistency across integrated services.
Comfortable working across both automated and manual testing disciplines.
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and maintaining quality gates.
Worked in agile or scrum delivery environments, with an understanding of how testing fits within sprints and how to keep pace with a fast-moving development team.
Clear communication skills, with the ability to report on test progress, coverage gaps, and defect trends.
Resident in the UK for five or more years with no more than 30 days per year out of the UK to meet Security Clearance (SC) eligibility, or currently holding Security Clearance.
