The Role

In this position, you will be a key contributor to the delivery of high-quality engineering solutions. You’ll work across disciplines in small, collaborative teams, partnering with engineers from varied technical backgrounds to design and build services that are robust, scalable, and maintainable.

You will be part of a wider engineering community, collaborating with peers to solve complex technical challenges and deliver work at scale. The environment encourages shared learning, professional growth, and continuous improvement across projects.

You’ll take ownership of technical quality, working closely with engineering and design colleagues to ensure confidence in delivery. Alongside this, you’ll help evolve team ways of working by refining processes, tools, and best practices.

Knowledge sharing is central to the role. You’ll support the development of others through mentoring and coaching, while also investing in your own growth by exploring new technologies and approaches. You’ll actively promote a culture of innovation, inclusion, collaboration, and self-organisation.

The role also involves working closely with clients and internal stakeholders to identify new opportunities, contribute to collaborative initiatives, and support open-source or community-driven work where appropriate.

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring a combination of the following experience and capabilities:

Essential experience:

• ISTQB certification (Foundation level as a minimum). Equivalent experience or alternative qualifications may be considered.
• Hands-on experience with core testing approaches, including exploratory, integration, manual, and functional testing.
• Experience contributing to or building test frameworks using Java and/or JavaScript.
• Strong background in developing automated tests across backend and frontend systems using tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Cucumber, REST-based testing frameworks, or similar.
• Experience working within Agile delivery teams.
• Familiarity with distributed version control platforms such as GitHub or GitLab.
• A proactive mindset, with the ability to self-manage, identify gaps, and take ownership of improvement areas.
