Test Automation & Release Engineer
We're working with a highly respected and fast-growing organisation that's on a mission to modernise and digitise their systems - and they need a hands-on, forward-thinking Automation Test Engineer to help lead that transformation.
This isn't your typical QA role.
The team are not looking for someone who's spent years embedded in a large QA team, simply contributing to a framework built by others. We're looking for someone capable of working independently - someone who can design and implement an automation framework from scratch and drive quality across both the frontend and backend.
What you'll be doing:-
Designing, building, and maintaining a brand-new automation framework (ideally in Playwright, but open to others).
-
Automating tests across Front-End UIs and Back-End APIs - this dual experience is essential.
-
Collaborating with developers and product teams to embed automation into the SDLC from day one.
-
Championing automation-first thinking - we're not looking for someone who defaults to manual testing.
-
Proven experience building automation frameworks from the ground up - not just adding to an existing one.
-
Strong experience in automated UI and API testing.
-
Solid working knowledge of TypeScript and/or C# - ideally both.
-
A strong understanding of modern automation tools - Playwright is top of our list, but we're open to others if you can make a case.
-
A self-starter attitude - you'll need to work autonomously and make key technical decisions confidently.
-
Work with a company that genuinely values quality and innovation.
-
Huge autonomy and ownership of the QA/Automation space.
-
Flexible working - remote working options.
