We are a team of 300+ technologists providing technology enablement services and solutions across the Tax and Legal business. This business has 2,500 tax & legal professionals covering multiple disciplines. We serve many thousands of clients and private individuals by providing a modern, market-leading suite of technology solutions that provide an efficient digital experience from routine to complex tax advice depending on client’s situation.
Tax is highlighted frequently as an industry where generative AI will have a significant impact on how services are provided. You will be working as a team at the forefront of navigating that change and redefining the way in which tax is determined in the UK and globally, making sure people and companies pay the right amount of tax with the minimum amount of effort.
The Engineering department is made up of Product Owners, Business Analysts, multi-disciplinary Engineering teams (approximately 160 Software, QA and Cloud Operations engineers) and IT Service delivery professionals working on a large portfolio of systems used to improve productivity and solve key business problems across Tax & Legal. We also build cutting edge web portals for clients to interact with KPMG, maximising collaboration and ensuring seamless delivery of information to our clients.
You will be working in a team of Software Engineers and Quality Assurance Engineers across a variety of projects for both our clients and our internal professionals. You will be continuously monitoring and guiding the junior testers to achieve the highest quality and QA standards. You will be responsible to deliver comprehensive quality assurance and testing for all product developments, enhancements and fixes for our software, which will include release and system testing with usage of automation. The purpose of the role is to ensure that the quality of our software is maintained at the highest possible levels, increasing the satisfaction of customers and reducing the number of issues using automated technologies.
The role is based in Glasgow. We generally spend two days per week in the office.
Whilst there is no expectation of existing knowledge of tax, we would expect you to develop a degree of domain knowledge over time.
The best of both worlds
We might be world leaders, but in many ways the department feels like a start-up, with a twist. There’s the buzz of scrum working, the thrill of shaping compelling experiences, the chance to surprise and stretch yourself in response to a fresh challenge. And then there’s all the resources, technology and high-profile projects of a major corporate entity. Crucially, we also offer the benefit of clear career progression.
Industry-leading rewards
Only KPMG offers the advantages of Our Deal – an industry-leading and radically different approach to pay, progression and benefits. Our Deal is a vibrant combination of secondment and fast-track opportunities plus one, transparent, company-wide bonus mechanism. It also includes payment towards student loans, preferential banking offers, the opportunity to finish work early on Fridays in summer – and even a day off for your birthday.
The diverse and inclusive employer
Proud to be an inclusive, equal opportunity employer, we seek to attract and retain the best people from the widest possible talent pool. As a member of The Employers’ Forum on Disability, we’re committed to ensuring that all candidates are treated fairly throughout the Recruitment Process.
