About This Role

Automation Testing is at the core of defining, developing, and testing products for businesses and their customers. Development is a playground where you can create what's needed when you need it.

You will play a vital role working within a cross-functional team, participating in the development of software with a primary focus on the testability and performance of software applications.

You'll be able to set up full frameworks to perform thousands of tests on multiple application platforms such as mobile, desktop, and web. This feeds into every level of testing whether it's unit level, functional, performance, or regression.

Automation is a major component of agile teams who work diligently to deliver value in short time frames. The execution of scripts and their application in the DevOps pipeline can mean delivery of functional code in unprecedented timeframes.

We're not expecting you to have all the proficiencies right away - that's where our award-winning Academy comes in. We are experts in building skills and confidence in a fun and supportive environment that will challenge you and develop your specialist capabilities to work on our clients' projects.

We seek candidates who embody our values:

• Empathy and Diversity: Integrity, respect, and a commitment to inclusivity.
• Drive: A goal-oriented mindset with pride in exceeding targets.
• Collaboration: A team-focused approach, fostering positive relationships.
• Innovation: Curiosity, creativity, and openness to diverse ideas.
• Adaptability: Flexibility and composure in the face of change.

Why You Should Apply

Our environment is designed to nurture your talents and skills. Your hard work and progress are recognized and rewarded through performance-based reviews every six months, providing opportunities to increase your earning potential.

We also offer:

• 20 days annual leave + bank holidays.
• An extra day off for your birthday.
• Pension, eye care, death in service cover, cycle to work scheme, season ticket loan, employee assistance program, yearly budget for personal development, access to alumni and community networks, and opportunities to be brand ambassadors.

Being employed by Sparta Global is an investment in your future, offering broad experience, skills development, and opportunities to grow and earn more. No two career paths are the same at Sparta.
