Senior Test Engineer

You’re here to make quality real. Not as a gatekeeper. Not as a checkbox. But as something teams can rely on day in, day out. You’ll join a small, high-performing test team working across product engineering, enterprise platforms, and client delivery. It’s Lean, it’s fast-moving, and it’s built on doing the right things well not doing everything for the sake of it. This is a hands-on role. You’ll design, build, and improve test automation. You’ll shape how teams think about quality. And you’ll step in where it matters most whether that’s automation, exploration, or straight-talking risk.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain automated test coverage across UI, API, and integration layers; Contribute to reliable regression automation that supports confident change and release readiness; Apply the existing test strategy across delivery teams and help refine team standards and ways of working; Work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to shape testable requirements, identify quality risks early, and improve delivery outcomes; Carry out high-value manual and exploratory testing where automation is not appropriate; Support release readiness and regression decisions with clear, risk-based quality insight; Apply OWASP Top 10 awareness during test design and risk assessment; Actively test for common web security weaknesses and advise teams on risk; Facilitate light-weight threat modelling with delivery teams; Test against WCAG standards in a practical delivery context; Identify accessibility issues in web products and work with teams to improve them; Help embed accessibility into test design and acceptance criteria; Create and manage effective test data for automated and manual testing; Work pragmatically with imperfect or unstable non-production environments; Identify when environment or test data issues are creating false quality signals; Represent the test function in client delivery conversations and communicate quality concerns clearly to non-test audiences

Requirements

5+ years of experience in software testing, with clear senior-level experience in test automation; Strong hands-on experience designing and maintaining automation across UI, API, and integration layers; Experience with regression automation in fast-moving delivery environments; Strong experience testing web applications, enterprise SaaS products, and client-facing digital platforms; Practical experience of non-functional testing, with particular strength in performance automation; Experience with Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium; Experience with Postman and REST Assured; Strong working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript, plus experience with Java and Python; Experience working with GitLab CI in support of delivery and release quality; Strong understanding of risk-based testing, test design, and modern quality engineering practices; Practical security testing awareness, including OWASP Top 10 and light-weight threat modelling; Practical accessibility testing experience, including working against WCAG standards; Experience using coding agents and AI-assisted workflows in day-to-day engineering delivery; Ability to work effectively in an AI-enabled environment, using these tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality, traceability, and sound technical judgement; Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, product, and design disciplines; Extensive experience working in agile delivery environments, with a strong practical understanding of how agile ways of working help teams deliver on time, on scope, and on budget
