Senior Quality Assurance Engineer

Fimador is partnering with an international client to appoint an experienced Senior Test Automation Engineer who will take the lead in driving automation and quality engineering practices across a broad technology environment.

This is a senior-level opportunity for someone who can combine deep technical knowledge with the ability to influence teams across an organisation. The role will focus on strengthening automated testing capabilities, improving engineering standards, and helping development teams build quality into products from day one.

Duties:

• Leading the direction of test automation across a portfolio of products and platforms.
• Creating and enhancing automation frameworks that support testing at API, integration, and end-to-end level.
• Promoting consistent, scalable approaches to quality engineering across engineering teams.
• Acting as a subject matter expert on automation tooling, testing strategy, and best practice.
• Working closely with software engineers, QA, SRE, and product teams to introduce quality earlier in the development lifecycle.
• Supporting and mentoring others to strengthen automation capability and encourage best practice across the wider engineering function.

Goals to achieve in this role:

• Quality and automated testing become part of the development mindset from the beginning, rather than something applied later in the process.
• Automation frameworks are dependable, easy to maintain, and used effectively across teams.
• Teams are able to release with greater speed and confidence thanks to stronger coverage and earlier identification of issues.
• Test outcomes are visible, accessible, and built into release workflows so they can directly support decision-making.
• A culture of shared ownership around quality is established and strengthened through strong technical leadership.

Additional experience that would be valuable:

• A background in SaaS or cloud-based environments, particularly within complex or regulated sectors.
• Good understanding of CI/CD pipelines and the role automated testing plays within modern engineering delivery.
• Experience shaping engineering standards across several teams, including in environments where influence is required without direct management responsibility.
