Join a forward-thinking engineering team driving quality excellence across complex high-value financial platforms. As a Quality Engineer youll go beyond conventional testing by designing intelligent automated test strategies that safeguard the integrity of critical systems. Youll embed assurance deep into CI/CD pipelines leveraging tools like Azure DevOps Playwright and REST-assured to validate everything from APIs to workflows. Every sprint youll play a hands-on role in shaping how quality is built ensuring performance compliance and resilience standards stay flawless under real-world conditions.

This is a role for someone who thrives on solving intricate testing challenges in data-heavy regulated environments. Youll partner with developers and product owners to push automation boundaries transform manual bottlenecks into code-driven validation and champion a shift-left code-first approach to quality. If youre passionate about precision automation and the craft of testing applications this is where you can turn testing into engineering mastery.

What Youll Do

Youll be the driving force behind building quality into every layer of our engineering ecosystem - not as a gatekeeper but as a creator of smart automated scalable assurance.

In this role you will:

• Design and execute powerful test scenarios across functional integration regression and workflow layers.
• Work handinhand with developers analysts and product owners to refine user stories and shape testable unambiguous acceptance criteria.
• Build reusable test data automation scripts and frameworks - embedding them directly into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous code-first validation.
• Drive root cause analysis and riskbased prioritisation ensuring defects are eliminated early and sprint velocity remains high.
• Champion a shift-left qualityfirst culture by participating fully in Agile ceremonies and advocating for security accessibility and usability.
• Continuously enhance automation coverage and replace manual effort with scalable modern testing solutions.

Need to Have - Your Essentials

• 5 years of hands-on QA experience across development and integration components
• 3 years validating APIs and services including RESTful workflows
• Strong knowledge of TDD BDD pairing and modern engineering practices
• Experience supporting QA from highlevel solution architecture down to component level
• Hands-on experience in CI/CD environments with strong version control discipline
• Proven ability to build or extend test automation frameworks
• UI testing experience across web and mobile
• Experience aligning QA delivery within a mid-sized corporate tech landscape
• Automation experience with Playwright (or similar tools)
• Hands-on experience with Jira Confluence and Agile delivery
• Strong communication collaboration and problemsolving skills

Nice to Have

• Experience with non-functional testing (performance load stress soak) e.g. JMeter
• Exposure to Azure DevOps App Insights Mailpit/Mailhog
• Experience testing RESTful web services
• Familiarity with SQL/PL-SQL MySQL Oracle MongoDB PostgreSQL
• Understanding of JSON XML HTML CSS/SCSS JavaScript
• Background in QA for regulated financial environments (banking insurance etc.)

You dont need to be an expert in every tool - we value curiosity learning mindset and growth.

Why Youll Love This Role

Because this isnt traditional testing - This is engineering-led quality!
Youll influence how quality is built automated measured and scaled across highvalue financial systems. Youll solve complex problems shape testing strategy and elevate engineering maturity across teams.

Youll help transform assurance from a checkpoint into a powerful integrated engineering discipline.
