Job description

Senior Quality Engineer

Permanent

UK‑Based - West Midlands (Hybrid working)

Eligible for SC Clearance

Build quality in from the start. Lead by example. Deliver at scale.

TXP is growing, and we’re creating a new Senior Quality Engineer role to strengthen quality engineering across our internal platforms and client delivery teams.

This is a hands‑on senior role for someone who loves building robust test automation, embedding quality into modern delivery pipelines, and coaching others to raise the bar. You’ll work across a variety of technology stacks, environments, and delivery models, with the opportunity to influence how quality is done across TXP.

We are proud of our culture and values, which guide everything we do:

Client Focus – We put our clients at the heart of every decision.

Adaptability – We embrace change and thrive in dynamic environments.

Responsibility – We take ownership and deliver with integrity.

Excellence in Delivery – We are committed to delivering outstanding results.

Success & Celebration – We celebrate achievements and learn from every experience.

As Senior Quality Engineer, you will embody these values in your leadership, decision-making, and client interactions.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work as part of agile, cross‑functional teams (typically 4–8 engineers), delivering high-quality solutions through short, iterative release cycles. Your focus will be on quality engineering, not just testing.

Key responsibilities include

• Designing and building test automation solutions from scratch
• Leading and supporting testing across automation, performance, security, and non‑functional areas
• Performing detailed test analysis and test design for complex, highly integrated systems, including regulated environments
• Applying TDD, BDD, and risk‑based testing approaches
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines and championing shift‑left quality practices
• Delivering testing and assurance across all levels: Unit, Component, CIT
• System, Integration, End‑to‑End
• Non‑Functional Testing
• Supporting UAT and BAT
• Analysing business requirements and defining effective testing strategies
• Managing test data, test artefacts, and testing collateral
• Collaborating closely with developers, including pair programming
• Coaching and mentoring less experienced testers and quality engineers
• Working in line with TXP’s technical, service, and quality standards

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced quality professional who is comfortable operating at senior level while remaining hands‑on and delivery‑focused.

Experience we value

• Leading and embedding testing best practice across delivery teams
• Defining testing policies, standards, and guidelines at enterprise scale
• Strong experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks
• Delivery within iterative/agile environments
• Working with Continuous Integration and CI/CD pipelines
• Managing priorities to meet delivery deadlines

Technical skills

• Strong software testing and quality engineering expertise
• CI/CD pipelines
• Git / GitLab
• Excellent communication and coaching skills
• Stakeholder engagement and collaboration

Experience with some of the following is highly desirable

• JUnit, Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber
• Postman, Gatling, OWASP ZAP
• Docker / Kubernetes
• Azure and/or AWS
• Accessibility standards and tooling (WCAG, Wave, Axe)

About you

Passionate about quality and engineering excellence

Comfortable working independently and as part of a team

Highly organised with strong attention to detail

Confident juggling multiple priorities

Positive, driven, and pragmatic in your approach

Open to travelling to customer sites when required to engage and present

Why join TXP?

At TXP, quality is not an afterthought, it’s built in. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Shape how quality engineering is done across the business
• Work on varied and meaningful projects
• Influence standards, tooling, and ways of working
• Grow your career in a collaborative, people‑first consultancy

Benefits

• 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays)
• Holiday buy and sell scheme (up to an additional 5 days per annum)
• An additional day of paid leave for your birthday (or Christmas eve)
• 4% Matched employer contributed pension (salary sacrifice)
