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. Some days that means writing automated checks; others it means digging into a tricky integration or pairing with an engineer on a pull request. The constant is judgement: knowing what to test, when, and
What you'll bring
- 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).
- AI for productivity in QE.
- 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 (we’ll fund your AWS training and certification).
- 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.
