Job description

Location: This is a hybrid role, requiring a minimum of three days per week in our Poole office.

Diversity matters

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It's what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there's more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.

The Living Wage Foundation's statement 'a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay' is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK. As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what's inside that counts - whether that's an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

Lush Digital have embarked on a total transformation with a focus on revolutionising digital by putting it at the centre of everything we do - we have created a global platform and now we're looking to recruit a team to support and drive that platform forward.

We are seeking an experienced QA Test Engineer to join a high-performing cross-functional engineering team. You will be responsible for ensuring high-quality implementation and testing of all releases from inception through to live deployment. Working within product teams to validate approaches, resolve identified issues, blockers and proactively raise concerns.

Please note: We may close this vacancy early if we receive an overwhelming response or our business requirements change.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure the quality of our web, mobile and API software
• Collaborate with engineers, agile coaches, and designers to solve interesting and challenging problems for delivering scalable technology worldwide
• Be a valued member of an autonomous, multi-functional agile team
• Explore and evaluate features right through the development process, from inception to delivery (and beyond)
• Actively encourage the use of more technical testing, such as automation, performance and security

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Minimum 2+ years of professional experience in a dedicated QA/testing role.
• Proven, extensive experience testing web, mobile UI/UX, and API endpoints.
• Direct experience working effectively within an Agile/Scrum team.
• Skilled in designing and executing test plans, test scenarios, and detailed test scripts.
• Familiar with and practical experience using exploratory testing techniques.

Technical & Automation

• Practical experience in automated UI and API testing (e.g., using frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, or Postman).
• Solid understanding of technical testing concepts and industry best practices.

Soft Skills & Mindset

• Excellent communication (written and verbal) for clear defect reporting and team collaboration.
• A highly motivated self-starter with a strong eagerness to learn new tools and skills quickly.
• A keen eye for detail and a passion for advocating for product quality.
