Job Description

We’re looking for a QA Engineer with automation experience to join our growing QA team. In this role, you’ll work closely with senior team members to build and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks across a variety of projects. If you are a team player who is passionate about product quality, eager to learn new technologies, and understands how automated testing drives flawless digital products, we want to hear from you.

As an Automation QA Engineer, you will bridge the gap between technical requirements and product quality. You will be responsible for translating specifications into clear test scenarios, developing robust automated system and functional tests, and managing defects through to resolution. You'll also play a key role in setting up automated reporting to keep project teams informed of progress and coverage.

What you’ll be working on

• Translate technical requirements into detailed, actionable test scenarios.
• Develop automated system and functional tests in Java or JavaScript using frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
• Build and maintain integration tests using tools such as Postman or Playwright.
• Set up automated reporting systems to track test progress, quality metrics, and overall test coverage.
• Create, review, and maintain comprehensive test documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
• Identify, isolate, and log defects clearly using our internal defect management tools.
• Collaborate with senior team members to continuously improve automation frameworks and toolsets.

What you’ll bring to the team

You are an analytical thinker with commercial experience in test automation who thrives in an Agile development environment. You possess a solid understanding of both automated and manual testing approaches, with the confidence to manage your own workload and flag risks early. You are curious, eager to learn new toolsets, and understand how BDD and TDD principles apply to modern software delivery.

• Commercial experience writing test automation using Java or JavaScript programming languages.
• Hands-on experience with modern automation toolsets (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium). Experience with Appium or Maestro for native app testing is a distinct advantage.
• A strong understanding of automated test approaches, strategies, and how testing fits into an Agile delivery pipeline.
• Demonstrable experience using BDD tools like Cucumber, alongside a solid theoretical understanding of BDD and TDD principles.
• Experience developing integration and API tests using tools like Postman.
• A good understanding of the test analyst role, with solid foundations or experience in manual testing.
• Proven ability to plan, prioritize, and manage your own day-to-day workload effectively.
• Confident communicator, comfortable raising issues and progress updates to project teams and line managers.
