Job description

Project description

We're looking for Senior QA Engineers with deep hands‑on experience in Selenium, Appian, and GitLab, coupled with strong knowledge of UK products and regulatory environments (e.g., FCA/ PRA/PSD2/UK GDPR where applicable). You'll own end‑to‑end quality across complex, distributed systems and low‑code workflows, establish robust automation strategies, and partner closely with engineering and product to deliver high‑quality, compliant releases at speed.

Responsibilities

• Test Strategy & Ownership: Define and execute test strategies for web, API, and Appian applications across functional, regression, integration, accessibility, and UAT phases. Translate business/regulatory requirements into clear, testable acceptance criteria and coverage plans.
• Automation & Tooling: Build and maintain scalable Selenium WebDriver frameworks (Java/Python/JavaScript) with robust page‑object design, data‑driven tests, and parallel execution. Design and automate Appian test scenarios (end‑to‑end process verification, expression rules, interfaces, RPA where applicable). Implement CI/CD quality gates in GitLab (pipelines, runners, test reports, artifacts, triggers).
• Quality Engineering: Create and maintain comprehensive test assets (test plans, test cases, RTMs, test data, environments). Implement API testing (e.g., Postman/REST Assured), mocking, and contract tests; contribute to performance test setup where needed. Drive defect triage with clear reproduction steps, root cause analysis, and risk‑based prioritization.
• Compliance & Risk: Ensure test coverage for UK regulatory and product obligations—privacy, security, auditability, records retention, customer outcomes, and accessibility (e.g., WCAG). Contribute to audit evidence and change control documentation aligned with UK regulatory expectations.
• Collaboration & Leadership: Partner with product, developers, business analysts, and compliance to align on release quality criteria. Mentor peers, uplift QA practices, and advocate for shift‑left testing and observability.

SKILLS

Must have

• Experience: 8+ years in QA/Quality Engineering with a focus on automation and enterprise‑grade delivery. Automation: Advanced Selenium WebDriver skills (preferably Java or Python), solid test design patterns, cross‑browser testing, and parallelization. Low‑Code: Strong experience testing Appian applications (interfaces, process models, rules, data, integrations). DevOps/CI: Hands‑on with GitLab (repositories, branching strategies, merge requests, pipelines, runners, quality gates, test reporting). UK Domain: Demonstrable knowledge of UK products and regulations relevant to the domain (e.g., financial services: FCA/PRA/PSD2/UK GDPR; public sector: assurance, accessibility standards; healthcare: data protection, auditability). APIs & Data: API testing (REST/GraphQL), SQL proficiency for test data creation and validation, and environment configuration. Quality Practices: Risk‑based testing, RTM/traceability, defect lifecycle, release readiness, and non‑functional awareness (performance, security, accessibility). Soft Skills: Clear communication, stakeholder management, analytical problem‑solving, and mentoring capability.
