QA Engineer

QA Engineer (Contract) | Remote | Outside IR35 |

We're working with a fast-moving PropTech company to find a QA Engineer for an initial 4-month contract (with strong extension potential to 6+ months).

This is a greenfield automation opportunity. The client needs someone who can own QA from the ground up: write documentation, establish a Playwright-based automation framework, and bring genuine rigour to manual testing. You'll be working on a PHP/Laravel web product in the landlord/rental sector, with real scope to shape how quality is done here.

What you'll be doing:

• Manual testing day-to-day while building out an automated framework in Playwright
• Owning QA strategy, not just executing test cases
• Greenfield setup no existing suite to inherit
• Documenting as you go with an eye on handover or perm conversion

What they're looking for:

• Proven experience with Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript)
• Strong manual testing instincts, proactive bug-hunting beyond acceptance criteria
• Someone who can architect a framework from scratch, not just extend one
• UK-based, happy working fully remote
