• Collaborate with developers, solution architects, and analysts to define acceptance criteria and resolve defects.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of testing practices, tools, and frameworks.

• Participate in Agile ceremonies — sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives — to align testing with delivery milestones.

• Proven experience testing solutions built on Microsoft Azure and Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Dataverse).

• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and test automation within Azure DevOps.

• Experience designing and executing test scripts, managing test execution, and reporting results.

• Knowledge of API and integration testing using tools such as Postman.

• Understanding of data validation and Power BI reporting accuracy.

• Excellent communication skills and strong attention to detail.

Desirable:

• Experience with test automation frameworks such as Selenium or Playwright.

• Knowledge of Dynamics 365 integration testing.

• Familiarity with Power Apps Test Studio, Solution Checker, and Flow Checker.

• Certification such as ISTQB or equivalent.

• Prior experience in public sector or regulated environments.

• Understanding of Azure infrastructure, security, and data services.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance‑based bonus structure.

• Private medical insurance through Aviva.

• Company pension plan via Nest.

• 25 days annual leave plus UK bank holidays.
