At Dootrix, we design intelligent software solutions in Microsoft Azure that empower businesses for the future. We specialise in Application Modernisation, Data Integration & AI, and Cloud Governance & Process, with the mission to be the UK’s leading alternative to traditional global systems integrators (SIs).

Our passion lies in creating innovative, scalable, and secure solutions tailored to meet the unique challenges of today’s dynamic businesses. Through close collaboration with our clients, we deliver bespoke solutions that enhance efficiency, agility, and competitive advantage.

About the role

Dootrix is leading the shift to agent-based computing. We're not just talking about the future, we're building it.

Dootrix is reimagining how quality is defined and delivered in modern software development. As we embrace a future of AI-assisted engineering, we're shifting toward a model where testing is a responsibility of the whole team, powered by intelligent tools. But we still need an expert to set the direction, maintain oversight, and ensure quality is never compromised.

That's where you come in.

We’re looking for a QA Architect, a hands-on, strategic technologist with a background in automation and a deep understanding of test strategy, system architecture, and the evolving role of quality in software delivery. You’ll work across multiple projects and teams, guiding and enabling developers, architects, and testers as they navigate this new world. You’ll define the patterns, provide the guardrails, and help us ship great software with confidence.

This is not a traditional test leadership role. It’s about embedding quality thinking into the heart of everything we build.

What we're looking for

Automation-native: Skilled in building scalable test automation frameworks, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines, and optimizing tools and strategies for reliable, maintainable testing.

Strategic thinker: Experience designing and implementing test strategies for large-scale programs, applying best practices across functional, performance, security, and usability testing.

Architectural awareness: Comfortable working alongside solution architects to ensure quality is embedded into systems from the start, combined with the ability to apply pragmatic, context-aware QA strategies that balance client needs, timelines, and architecture.

AI-curious: Experience (or at least excitement) around using AI tools in the software delivery lifecycle.

Polished communicator: Able to speak confidently with clients, guide internal teams, and represent quality at the highest level.

Mentor & enabler: Comfortable coaching multi-disciplinary project teams to raise the bar on quality across the board.

Bonus Points

Experience working in consultancy, agency, or multi-client delivery environments.

Familiarity with DevOps and CI/CD workflows.

Knowledge of accessibility, performance, and security testing principles.
