The Vacancy

At Evri we understand that searching for your first job, your next job, or that big promotion is a huge milestone. Here at Evri we always think about what it’s like to be in your position when making those big decisions. It takes courage to make change happen in your life, and we’re here to help you with that.

We’re here for the first step, the next step, and the big step.

You’re not just a number to us. You’ve got to know you’ll love working here. It’s as important to us as you ‘being the right fit’. We want to help you feel what it’s like to work at Evri, to see the value you can bring to any of our roles, and how we can help you grow. We’re never one-size-fits-all. Our careers are as unique as you are.

We are looking for a Senior Non-Functional Tester on a 12 month fixed term basis to be responsible for creating test plans and packs from information gathered from stakeholders, application code, monitoring metrics, policy, standards, traffic capturing, code analysis and any in-scope compliance requirement. You will be working on multiple streams, and we expect you to balance your day-to-day tasks.

At Evri we carry out several types of performance testing: performance, stress, scalability, recovery, and portability testing. As a member of our team, you are expected to be an industry expert in these areas and support the development of relevant policies and standards aligned with industry best practices. You will join early in a systems lifecycle to determine its performance testing needs and ensure everything required is in place. For each test, you will monitor resources, investigate discrepancies, and provide solutions to stakeholders highlighting issues and remediation work where needed. In collaboration with our development and service teams, provide feedback and guidance on scaling rules, instance sizing, and the best course of action in cases where performance degradation is identified.

You will be accountable for:

• Validating application features in production-like environments to ensure product stability from inception to release.
• Joining early in the project and product lifecycle to take complete ownership of assigned performance tasks and collaborate with stakeholders to ensure comprehensive testing.
• Reviewing product designs and usage patterns to validate or source non-functional requirements.
• Providing concise and reusable test packs for consistent feedback to test and dev teams.
• Conducting root cause analysis when problems arise in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and clearly presenting your findings.
• Managing data by finding or generating the necessary test data.
• Regularly reporting to key stakeholders (Defects Found, Work Estimations, and Test Results).
• Mentoring colleagues across Development and Test teams.
• Following the test strategy and implementing its solutions across our estate.

To be successful in this role you will require the following:

• Diverse experience of using Evri technologies, JAVA, AWS, Oracle, AppDynamics.
• Comprehensive experience with testing tools, JMeter, Tarus, Python, GIT, and Bash.
• Willingness to learn and present new things; we are a rapidly growing team.
• Strong experience of working in a cloud-first environment with autoscaling policies.
• Experience working in a fast-paced and dynamic working environment.
• Prior experience working with dynamic data.
• Experience with ticketing systems such as JIRA and ServiceNow.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and reporting skills.
• Baseline understanding of security and privacy by design and default.
• Significant knowledge of other performance tools and techniques.
• A Computer Science Degree or equivalent would be advantageous.
• Prior Functional Testing and Automation experience would be advantageous.

Why Work Here?

We’re constantly looking at ways to become a more inclusive and diverse employer, and our benefits package is important to us. Here’s some of what we currently offer:

• Flexible working; work from home or in the office – whatever suits you.
• 26 days + bank holidays, with an option to buy and sell up to 5 days holidays.
• Bonus Scheme; an annual bonus that can earn up to 15% if you really push the boundaries.
• Pension; 3% employer contribution on top of what you choose to commit yourself.
• A range of discounts from our clients.
• Flexible benefits such as additional life assurance, critical life insurances, and others to choose from.
