Essential Skills

• Strong understanding of software development and quality assurance principles
• Proven experience designing and maintaining automation frameworks for frontend and backend applications

• Experience testing APIs and 3rd-party integrations
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to work independently while staying aligned with team goals
• Passion for sharing knowledge and helping others level up their testing skills
• Curiosity to stay up-to-date with new testing tools, libraries, and technologies

Desirable Skills

• Experience with load and performance testing platforms
• Familiarity with MongoDB and test data management
• Experience with Snowflake and data integration pipeline testing
• Understanding of AWS or other cloud-based architectures

• Salary: Up to £50,000 DOE pa

• Thrivedays—a reduced workday every Friday (10:00–15:00), with no internal meetings
• Flexible Working Hours within core hours (10:00–16:00)
• Birthday & Christmas Off, including festive shutdown between Christmas & New Year
• Work From Anywhere—fully remote-friendly (4 weeks a year)
• Health Cash Back Plan with Health Shield
• Employee Assistance Program for confidential support
• Financial support program via Maji
• Salary Sacrifice Pension Scheme
