Software products range from Windows based desktop Enterprise applications to AWS cloud hosted web applications.

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Maths or Physics with industry experience is software development focusing on software test engineering.
• Demonstrable experience of software testing through development of automation test processes for Enterprise desktop or Cloud web applications (ideally both). Implementation or non-full product test suite experience is not sufficient. Specific experience with C#, .NET and SQL databases would be highly desirable.
• Good communication skills (this is a collaborative team) and excellent problem-solving skills (an engineering approach through curiosity and lateral thinking is prized).

The role is based in their Cambridge offices with the possibility of hybrid working (up to 2 days per week working from home), and hence candidates are expected to live in or close to Cambridge.
