Job description

ROLE

• – Test coverage and quality across mobile, web and backend products
• – Test automation — building, extending and maintaining the automated suites
• – Release-gate discipline and defect triage
• – Quality advocacy and test ability across the wider engineering team
• – Design and own test plans and coverage across the products — functional, regression, integration, UI and end-to-end
• – Take a risk-based approach, focusing test effort where the user and commercial impact is greatest
• – Define clear, repeatable test cases and keep them current as the products evolve
• – Develop the automation framework and integrate tests into the CI/CD pipeline so quality checks run continuously
• – Reduce manual regression effort by automating the right things at the right level
• – Carry out exploratory and manual testing where it adds value beyond automation
• – Own release-gate discipline — clear, evidence-based go / no-go on quality
• – Lead defect triage, raising, tracking and verifying fixes to closure
• – Cover non-functional quality — performance, load, accessibility and reliability — where relevant to the release
• – Partner with DevOps and engineering on environment stability, test data and monitoring of quality in production
• – Partner with mobile, web and backend engineers and with Product to build quality in from the start, not bolt it on at the end
• – Advocate good testing and test ability practice across the engineering team, and coach engineers on it
• – Communicate quality status and risk clearly to engineering and product stakeholders
• – Improve test tooling, processes and documentation so quality scales with the products
• – Evaluate and adopt new testing tools and approaches responsibly — proving value before adopting

REQUIREMENTS

• – A demonstrable senior-level QA / test engineering track record across web and mobile products
• – Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
• – Strong defect analysis, root-cause investigation and clear bug reporting
• – Comfortable combining structured, risk-based testing with exploratory testing
• – Strong communication — able to explain quality risk to engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• – Performance / load testing and accessibility testing experience
• – Experience testing mapping / geolocation or payment integrations
• – Familiarity with mobile device farms and cross-device / cross-browser testing
• – Knowledge of EV charging, smart metering, mobility or energy products
• – Quality-Obsessed — treats the end-user’s experience as the bar, and won’t wave through what isn’t ready
• – Systematic — methodical and thorough — covers the edges others miss
• – Automation-Minded — automates the repeatable so human effort goes where it counts
• – Clear Communicator — reports quality and risk plainly, and pushes back without drama
