We offer a wide range of services, including software development, user experience (UX) design, data visualization, and financial consulting. We pledge to develop high-quality software solutions tailored to meet the unique requirements of each client.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role, offering the opportunity to be involved in the full development lifecycle, delivering mission-critical projects for high-profile global organisations. You’ll typically work in small, tight-knit multidisciplinary teams, decoding tough software problems. We like our teams to have high levels of freedom and value collaboration and pragmatism.

As a company we are technology agnostic and use the right language, tooling, and frameworks for the job. Our people enjoy working in an environment where they can grow and succeed collectively. We hire people who align with our core values of Passion, Excellence, Collaboration, Respect and Professionalism.

Technologies and experience we value include:

• A testing mindset, including critical thinking, healthy scepticism and a desire to help teams improve quality
• A background in software engineering
• Experience in the application of tooling and automation in testing
• Consulting skills including excellent communication, collaboration, and commercial awareness
• Awareness of the use of AI in testing
• Experience and expertise in at least one testing specialism e.g.
  • Testing of AI systems
  • API Testing
  • Data Engineering Testing
  • Domain specific testing (e.g. Financial Services)

• Hybrid working and no overtime.
• Our people promise devoted to putting our people first.
• A significant learning budget with 2 days of time for self-improvement.
• Specific holiday and leave entitlement for every circumstance.
• Social clubs and groups including but not limited to, Video/Board games, Cycling/Running clubs, Book clubs, Friday bar’s and so much more.
• An environment where ideas are welcomed and explored with detail.
• This role is based in our city centre office and is likely to involve occasional travel (infrequent day trips or a few days at a time) to visit our clients, across the UK. If you are interested in more travel, then opportunities are available, we are open to conversation on this.

We are mindful of the imbalances in our sector. We celebrate multiple and varied approaches and points of view. We believe diversity drives innovation and we embrace a culture where everyone can contribute irrespective of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability.
