We help make thought leadership simple, scalable and effective, so Professional Services firms can be front of mind with their clients and prospects when it matters most.

We help professional services firms achieve this with their clients and prospects, with regular, timely thought leadership, so they know they're getting the best in the business.

Our clients include some of the world’s largest law and professional services firms including Deloitte, Freshfields, Linklaters and Reed Smith.

What does the role involve and what could you be doing?

A software tester is responsible for ensuring that the product applications and systems work correctly. Without testing, your favourite apps wouldn’t work on your mobile, a car would not be safe to drive, a computer game would be full of glitches and everything would be unpredictable and insecure. For this reason, businesses recognise the importance of testing, and the testing of software has never been more important.

At Passle each and every one of us is responsible for understanding our product intimately, and you’ll start by getting to know our product and all its features. Your role will focus on learning to assess software quality through manual, functional, and automated testing. You will be responsible for finding and reporting bugs and glitches. Ultimately, you will help to ensure that our product applications and systems work correctly. The role will also involve the below and more:

• Reporting and documenting technical issues
• Executing test scripts and reviewing results
• Reviewing and analysing system specifications
• Report bugs and errors to the development team
• Help to troubleshoot issues
• Conduct post release/post implementation testing
• Create logs to document testing phases and defects
• Create automated tests
• Work with Development and Client Success teams to ensure quality throughout the software development life cycle.

What skills do you need?

We’ll teach you all about how to do the job here, so it’s more important you come with some core strengths, behaviours and skills that you’ve gained from school or university. Here are some things that we’ll be looking for evidence of:

• Some evidence of interest in software testing (experience not necessary)
• Some evidence of interest in software programming (experience not necessary)
• Hunger to learn and willingness to work hard
• Keen eye for detail and analytical mindset – able to use data to analyse and fix problems
• Strong organisation and prioritisation skills
• Team player
• A problem solver that thinks outside the box
• Ambitious and keen for responsibility as the business grows

What’s in it for me and how will Passle help me to succeed?

• In-house training and the opportunity to obtain ISTQB certification
• You’ll be working on exciting projects, developing our platform - lots to keep an inquisitive tester interested
• Many opportunities to learn new technologies, try things out, and develop new skills
• Working alongside a friendly and high performing dev team, always learning from each other and working together to deliver neat and robust solutions
• Dev team hack days and team socials
