Increase automated regression coverage to enable faster, more confident releases
Champion best practices and help shape quality standards across engineering teams
Collaborate with developers, product managers, and designers to define testable requirements and identify risks early
Perform exploratory and manual testing where it delivers the greatest value
Provide clear, risk-based recommendations to support release decisions
Contribute to security focused testing, including OWASP principles and lightweight threat modelling
Help ensure products meet accessibility standards by testing against WCAG guidelines
Continuously identify opportunities to improve testing processes, tooling, and overall product quality
What We're Looking For
5+ years' experience in software testing or quality engineering
Strong experience with test automation across UI, API, and integration testing
Experience testing web applications, SaaS platforms, or customer-facing digital products
Practical experience with performance testing
Hands on experience with tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Postman, and REST Assured
Experience working with JavaScript or TypeScript
A strong understanding of modern quality engineering and risk-based testing approaches
Knowledge of security testing principles and accessibility standards (WCAG)
