We’re looking for an innovative, automation-savvy QA Engineer who’s passionate about delivering high-quality software in a fast-paced, regulated environment. If you're a natural problem-solver, curious by nature, and excited by the idea of using AI to improve productivity and testing effectiveness, this role is for you.

At E.ON Next, QA is embedded from the start. You’ll work in cross-functional squads where everyone shares responsibility for quality. Our culture supports exploration, bold thinking, and

challenging the status quo – whether that’s rethinking a test strategy or raising a red flag on UX.

We’re flexible in how we work – remote/hybrid options, working hours that suit your life, and a team that values well-being and inclusion.

As an Automation QA Engineer, you’ll help us accelerate delivery and increase confidence through smart, scalable test automation and quality advocacy.

• Develop, maintain, and extend automated tests using Cypress, Playwright, and Appium.
• Contribute to CI/CD automation pipelines (GitLab), integrating tools like Applitools for visual testing.
• Mock APIs to support frontend testing and accelerate development cycles.
• Leverage AI to enhance test creation, defect detection, and reporting efficiency.
• Drive improvements in test coverage, speed, feedback loops, and overall pipeline quality.
• Promote a quality-first mindset through collaboration, shift-left practices, and support for both automation and manual testing.

Are we the perfect match?

• Experienced with GitLab CI/CD, version control, and orchestrating tests across environments.
• Strong exploratory testing skills with a structured approach (ISTQB certified or equivalent knowledge).
• Exposure to or interest in AI-powered tools for test generation, defect triage, and visual diffing.
• Collaborative, self-driven, comfortable working in Agile teams using Jira or Azure DevOps, and confident in constructively challenging decisions.

It would be great if you had

• Experience testing high-traffic consumer-facing applications
• Familiarity with TDD, BDD, NoSQL, performance and accessibility testing
• Working knowledge of Xcode, Android Studio, REST APIs, API management
• Passion for innovation, continuous improvement, and smart use of emerging tech

Here's what else you need to know:

• Role may close earlier due to high applications.
• Base hub Location – London (Farringdon) - with travel to our other sites when required.
• Working environment: Flexible hybrid working – a blend of in the office and home working.
• 26 days holiday plus bank holidays each year – this includes a guaranteed day off for your birthday if you want it.
• Generous pension scheme (you contribute 5%, we contribute 6%, increasing to 10% after 2 years).
• Excellent parental leave allowance.
• The chance to choose from our award-winning Flexible Benefits package which includes the option to buy up to 10 days holiday a year.
• We’ve exciting opportunities for everyone to develop their talent at E.ON. Our open access, inclusive talent networks provide networking, learning and development for all, building your skills, qualifications, and capabilities throughout your career.
• For all successful candidates. Due to the nature of this role your employment will be subject to a basic DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) check being carried out by ourselves via a 3rd party service provider.

We’re committed to equal opportunities and actively promote a diverse and inclusive working environment, and fairness for everyone.
