Software Tester

Software Test Engineer – Hybrid – £40,000–£45,000

Are you an experienced Software Test Engineer who enjoys working across both automation and manual testing? We're looking for a proactive and quality-focused tester to join a collaborative Agile team, working on high-impact software solutions.

In this hybrid role, you'll spend around 60% of your time on automation and the rest on manual and exploratory testing. You'll be involved across the full testing lifecycle – from planning and designing test cases to automation scripting, defect triage, and performance testing. This is a great opportunity to deepen your automation skills while contributing to high-quality releases that make a difference.

What you'll be doing

• Designing, developing and maintaining both automated and manual test cases
• Collaborating with Developers, Product Owners, and other Testers in an Agile environment
• Investigating issues across UI, API, databases and backend services
• Creating and reviewing clear test documentation, reports, and test summaries
• Performing non-functional and exploratory testing
• Mentoring junior testers and supporting cross-team testing activities

Your experience

• 3+ years in software testing, including solid test automation experience
• Proficient in tools such as TestComplete, Postman, SoapUI, Azure DevOps (alternative test tools such as Selenium or Cypress are fine).
• Comfortable testing SQL-driven applications
• Familiar with the Software Development Lifecycle and quality assurance best practices
• Able to manage and prioritise your own workload effectively

Bonus points if you have:

• ISTQB or other relevant testing certifications
• Experience in regulated industries or working with safety-critical software

Location & Flexibility

• Mostly remote, usually one day a week in Burton upon Trent for sprint planning and one to one meetings. This can vary, as there is also hardware that needs to be tested which may involve a few days in Burton at a time.
• Permanent role with a salary of £40,000–£45,000, depending on experience
