About Us

At Vix Technology, we’re bringing people, technology and services together to make transport work better for everyone. Operating across international markets, we connect and simplify complex transport systems, giving operators the clarity, control and confidence to run better mobility and create simpler, more connected experiences for passengers.

Our goal is simple: better systems, better outcomes and transport that works as one. It’s our people who make that possible.

We value those who take ownership, work well with others and aren’t afraid to question the default. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute your expertise, solve meaningful challenges and work alongside people who share your ambition to build great solutions and make a difference.

The Opportunity

This isn’t a maintenance QA role. This is about leadership, strategy, and influence. You’ll define and drive product-wide and solution-wide quality strategy. You’ll lead automation architecture, embed shift-left testing practices, strengthen CI/CD quality gates, and ensure our solutions perform flawlessly from feature verification through to integration, acceptance, performance and production testing.

You’ll work across Agile delivery teams, collaborating with engineers, product owners, CloudOps and customers to deliver robust, resilient systems that operate in complex, real-world environments. You’ll mentor and elevate other QA engineers, build scalable automation frameworks, introduce AI-enabled capabilities, and play a key role in shaping a high‑performing quality culture.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in complexity, understands risk, thinks strategically about quality, and wants to influence how modern QA is done — not just execute test cases.

If you’re passionate about automation, architecture, continuous improvement, and building something meaningful in a fast‑evolving engineering environment — this is your opportunity.

Help us build the future of intelligent transport technology. And make the connection.

About You

• Experience in software quality assurance within complex, Agile development environments.
• Proven expertise designing and implementing automated testing frameworks across functional, API, integration and regression testing.
• Strong experience embedding shift‑left quality practices and integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Demonstrated leadership in driving product‑wide test strategy, risk‑based testing, and defect prevention analysis.
• Experience testing high‑integrity, transaction‑heavy systems (e.g. transport, banking, retail, or other mission‑critical platforms).

What We Offer

Join Vix Technology and be part of a global team making transport work better. You’ll work with talented people to solve real‑world challenges in a culture that values collaboration, ownership, fresh thinking and putting customers first.

Alongside this, we offer a range of benefits designed to support you at work and beyond.

Equal Opportunities

Vix Technology is committed to a workplace where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, fairness and inclusion. We value diversity of background, experience and perspective and are committed to equal opportunity, with employment decisions based on merit.

If you need an adjustment or support at any stage of the recruitment process, please let us know.
