Senior Test Engineer

Senior Test Engineer - Warrington (Hybrid) - £50,000 + Bonus + Benefits

The Role

You'll sit within a cross-functional delivery team, working closely with Engineers, Product, and Design to ensure quality is built into everything from day one. This is not a "test at the end" role, you'll shape how quality is approached across the full lifecycle, influencing design, delivery, and production outcomes.

The Opportunity

This is a role where you'll drive a quality-first mindset, embedding best practices, improving how the team works, and ensuring releases are both fast and reliable. You'll help move quality earlier into the process (shift-left), while also using real production insights to improve decisions (observability-led quality).

There's strong scope to influence how QA operates within the team, from testing strategy through to continuous improvement.

What You'll Be Doing

• Driving QA strategy and best practices within an Agile delivery team
• Ensuring tests are applied at the right level (unit, integration, end-to-end) for effective coverage and risk mitigation
• Embedding shift-left testing, ensuring quality is considered early in design and development
• Leading exploratory testing to uncover issues real users might experience
• Using monitoring, metrics, and logs to drive observability-led quality and improve production outcomes
• Identifying risks early and helping the team make informed decisions
• Improving QA processes, standards, and ways of working across the team
• Mentoring QA colleagues and working closely with engineers to build a culture of quality
• Supporting automation strategies and ensuring the right tests are prioritised

What You Bring

• Strong experience in modern QA practices including shift-left, exploratory testing, and Agile delivery
• Experience working across API testing, SQL, and testability practices
• A solid understanding of the testing pyramid and risk-based quality approaches
• Experience using data, metrics, and observability to improve quality outcomes
• A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and team collaboration
• Ability to balance speed, risk, and quality to support confident releases

The Benefits:

As well as working within a supportive team you'll have these perks available, and much more:

• Salary £50,000
• Hybrid working
• Enhanced company pension
• Company bonus scheme
