REED Technology are working with a fast-growing technology that's powering the next generation of sweepstakes and social casino platforms. As they continue to scale, they're looking for a hands-on Senior Software Tester to lead quality assurance across their platforms - with a focus on manual testing, test strategy, automation implementation, and performance testing.

This role suits a senior-level QA professional who's comfortable being the driving force behind testing in a fast-paced, regulated, high-traffic environment. You'll shape the test approach, take ownership of test execution and tooling, and help define and embed automation frameworks from the ground up. It's a great fit for someone with QA experience who enjoys both strategic input and hands-on testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the test lifecycle across mobile, web and backend gaming platforms - from planning through execution to defect resolution
• Define test strategies for manual and automated coverage across games, payment systems, and integrations
• Introduce and scale automation, selecting tools and building frameworks to reduce manual regression effort over time
• Conduct performance, stress, and load testing to ensure platform resilience during peak usage
• Champion QA practices, working closely with developers, product and DevOps to maintain release quality
• Drive regulatory and security testing, supporting compliance with iGaming standards (e.g. AML, KYC, responsible gaming)
• Test APIs and services using tools like Postman or RestAssured
• Report risks and test coverage clearly to stakeholders, supporting continuous delivery and agile releases

Key Skills

• Strong experience in software testing, ideally within iGaming (casino, sports, live, etc.)
• Skilled in manual testing with the capability and ambition to implement test automation (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, Playwright)
• Experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter, Gatling, or LoadRunner
• Confident working with API testing tools (Postman, RestAssured, etc.)
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps environments
• Familiarity with iGaming regulatory frameworks and compliance testing
• Proactive, self-sufficient tester who can own QA end-to-end - not just follow test scripts
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional teams

Desirable (But Not Essential):

• Experience testing real-time or high-traffic gaming platforms
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, JavaScript or Java for automation
• ISTQB certification or similar industry qualification
• Exposure to blockchain-based or AI-driven gaming technologies
