Job description

Job Description

I’m currently recruiting for a remote Automation Test Engineer to join a growing, tech-forward client who are transforming the residential property transaction space. With a strong focus on innovation and user experience, they’re changing how people move home, making it simpler, faster, and less stressful.

This is a fully remote role, with occasional travel to their South Wales office a few times a year for team/company events. Please note: we can only consider UK-based applicants, with preference given to those closer to the South Wales region.

You’ll be joining a small but expanding QA team (currently a team of one!), growing to three with this hire and another new team member. Together, you’ll help define and shape their test automation strategy as well as getting involved in manual testing.

The team is exploring tools like Playwright, and this role offers a great opportunity to have real influence over the tooling and frameworks you’ll be using. You’ll be hands-on across manual, exploratory, and automated testing, building automation frameworks from scratch and integrating them into a modern CI/CD pipeline.

They are looking for someone who:

• Has solid experience with Playwright, Cypress, or TypeScript-based automation
• Is confident setting up and integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)
• Enjoys working collaboratively and proactively in a growing team
• Wants to be part of shaping a quality-driven culture with a focus on automation where possible

This is a fantastic chance to join a supportive, skilled tech team where your voice will be heard, and your work will have a visible impact.
