Recruiter: Lloyd Hughes
If you enjoy solving difficult technical problems, building software, and finding innovative ways to improve quality across complex systems, we'd love to hear from you.
We're growing our engineering teams and recruiting Software Developers in Test (SDETs) at all experience levels to help deliver technology that supports mission-critical services.
As an SDET, you'll combine software engineering and quality engineering skills to build the tools, frameworks and automation capabilities that help teams deliver secure, resilient and reliable technology. You'll work closely with software engineers, architects, delivery teams and customers to ensure quality is designed into solutions from the very beginning of the development lifecycle.
Whether you're developing automated test frameworks, improving CI/CD pipelines, validating complex integrations, analysing system behaviour or creating tooling that helps teams move faster with confidence, you'll be helping deliver technology that genuinely matters.
With a background is in software engineering, automation, test engineering, DevOps, platform engineering or site reliability, you'll have opportunities to grow your career within a broad engineering community.
We don't see quality as something that's added at the end of development. We believe quality is engineered into products from the start.
Every engineering team wants to move quickly. The challenge is doing so without compromising trust, resilience or reliability. Our Software Developers in Test help teams achieve exactly that, building the automation, tooling and engineering practices that enable mission-critical services to evolve with confidence.
