• Comfort working with APIs, JSON and modern integration patterns.
• Clear communication and a structured, detail-oriented approach.
• Curiosity, willingness to learn and confidence working at pace.
• Ability to work full-time from our Meriden office.

You don’t need years of experience. We’re looking for someone with the right attitude and a genuine interest in becoming a stronger automation-focused tester.

You must have:

• Hands-on experience with at least one automation testing tool (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Postman or similar)
• Some experience writing or maintaining automated tests
• A basic understanding of APIs, JSON and modern integration patterns
• At least 6 months of commercial testing or software delivery experience

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Experience testing APIs or system integrations.
• Understanding of Dynamics 365, Power Apps or Power Automate.
• Exposure to Azure DevOps pipelines or Test Plans.
• Experience with Azure services or cloud-based testing.

If you don’t have these yet, we’ll help you build them.

What you can expect

You’ll join a supportive team working across a modern Microsoft technology stack. You’ll gain practical experience in automation, Power Platform, Azure integrations and structured delivery. We’ll support your development, certifications and long-term progression.

This is a full-time, office-based role in Meriden (CV7), suitable for someone early in their testing career who wants exposure to a broad mix of projects, tooling and engineering practices.
