About the role

We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Engineer to take ownership of quality across our products and lead the next stage of our test automation.

One of your first priorities will be to assess the current state of our automation and, from there, build a reliable automated test suite that gives comprehensive coverage of our products.

At first, around 80% of the role will be manual testing. As automation coverage grows, it will gradually take over repetitive manual work, and your focus will move towards automation and quality strategy.

You will work closely with developers and the wider product team, and you will have a real say in how quality assurance is done here.

What you will do

• Assess our existing automated tests, identify gaps and weaknesses, and recommend a clear way forward

• Improve, restructure or rebuild our Playwright automation framework as needed, so that it is maintainable, scalable and reliable

• Write robust, maintainable automated UI tests that keep working as the frontend changes

• Design, set up and run automated API tests using Postman or a similar tool

• Manually test new features thoroughly before they are covered by automation

• Analyse requirements and user stories, and turn them into clear, well-structured test cases and test scenarios

• Carry out thorough manual testing, including functional, regression, exploratory and integration testing

• Create, organise and maintain test cases in Zephyr

• Log, track and verify defects in Jira, and work with developers to get them resolved

• Train and mentor other members of the QA team in writing automated tests

• Help improve our QA processes, standards and best practices

• Support the team flexibly and step in wherever you are needed

What we are looking for

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with Playwright, including setting up and configuring projects from scratch, and assessing and improving existing test suites

• A solid understanding of good practice for automated tests against a frontend that changes often, such as resilient locator strategies, the Page Object Model or similar patterns, and avoiding flaky tests

• Proven experience setting up and running automated API tests with Postman or a similar tool

• Hands-on experience using Zephyr to create and manage test cases

• Strong manual testing experience, including writing detailed test cases and test scenarios

• A sound knowledge of software quality assurance principles, methodologies and best practices

• Experience working with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence)

• Experience mentoring or coaching other QA engineers, particularly in test automation

• A good command of written and spoken English

About you

• You are easy to work with, collaborative and approachable

• You are self-driven, take ownership of your work and need little supervision

• You are well organised, with a structured approach to planning and prioritising

• You are proactive and happy to step in and help the team when needed

• You care about quality and pay close attention to detail

Nice to have

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines

• Familiarity with TypeScript or JavaScript

• Exposure to .NET applications, SQL Server or AWS-hosted environments

What we offer

• A salary of €3,500 to €4,500 gross per month, depending on experience

• The chance to shape how QA and test automation are done, with real ownership from day one

• A small, experienced development team working on a live platform used by businesses across the UK
