About the job you're considering

We're excited to offer an opportunity for a talented Software Tester to join our growing team, where you'll work on innovative projects at the forefront of digital transformation. Our Digital Transformation Centre specialises in modernising legacy systems into cloud-native solutions using Java and open-source technologies.

We embrace agile and DevOps principles to deliver high-quality applications and platforms. Our tech stack includes Java, microservices, infrastructure-as-code, NoSQL databases, containerisation, JEE, Oracle, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time. You will be required to travel to our office based in Telford on average 3 days per week.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including:
identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your role

As a Software Tester, you'll play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our solutions. We're looking for someone who is curious, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to a collaborative team environment. If you enjoy solving problems, learning new technologies, and working in a dynamic setting, this could be a great fit for you.

You'll be involved in a variety of tasks, including:

• Reviewing and assessing requirements to ensure they are testable and clear.
• Designing and developing test scripts, and preparing test data in collaboration with other teams.
• Executing tests, documenting results, and verifying that identified issues have been resolved.
• Communicating progress and risks clearly to the wider team, including the Product Owner.
• Contributing to a supportive and inclusive team culture where knowledge sharing and continuous improvement are valued.
• We believe in empowering our team members to grow and thrive. You'll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, learn from experienced colleagues, and make a meaningful impact on the solutions we deliver.

Your skills and experience

We're looking for someone with a solid understanding of quality assurance practices and a passion for delivering reliable, high-quality software. You don't need to tick every box to apply-if you're excited about the role and eager to learn, we'd love to hear from you.

We'd especially value experience in the following areas:

• Strong communication skills-both written and verbal-and a collaborative, problem-solving mindset.
• Experience with API testing and tools such as Postman.
• Familiarity with functional or system integration testing.
• Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Cucumber, JUnit).
• Knowledge of stubbing tools like Wiremock.
• Understanding of non-functional testing, including load and performance testing.
• Experience using tools like JIRA, Confluence, or other backlog/test management platforms.
• Exposure to iterative or incremental software delivery practices.
• Ability to maintain and execute automated testing cycles.
• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.
• Understanding of Agile methodologies and ways of working.

We're committed to supporting your growth, so if you bring enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, we'll provide the tools and opportunities to help you succeed.

To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.
Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
