• Ensure testing is aligned with Agile delivery practices and integrated into CI/CD pipelines where applicable.

Defect Management & Analysis

• Collaborate with developers to analyse root causes, suggest resolutions, and validate fixes.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions to prevent defect reoccurrence.

Process Improvement & Quality Advocacy

• Actively contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to improve test efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance overall product quality.
• Participate in and/or lead quality audits, design reviews, and improvement projects.
• Promote quality best practices, standards, and a “shift‑left” quality mindset across delivery teams.

Environments & Tooling

• Install, configure, and manage test environments, configurations, and data.
• Effectively utilize QA and development tools, including test management, defect tracking, and collaboration platforms.

Customer & Cross‑Functional Support

• Support investigation of customer-reported issues in collaboration with Technical Support and Engineering teams.
• Where required, work directly with customers or internal stakeholders to diagnose and resolve product quality or performance issues.

General

• Provide accurate effort estimates, risk assessments, and input into delivery planning.
• Maintain clear, concise, and auditable test documentation.
• Perform other duties as assigned to support team and organisational objectives.

Education & Certification

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
• ISEB / ISTQB Foundation certification (or equivalent).

Experience

• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and Agile/Scrum delivery models.
• Experience using Azure DevOps for test management, defect tracking, and collaboration.
• Experience using virtualised or cloud‑based environments (e.g. Azure VMs, VMware, Hyper‑V).

• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and critical‑thinking skills.
• Ability to analyse requirements and design effective, risk‑based test approaches.
• Strong understanding of software quality principles and user experience considerations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams and with customers.
• Highly organised, with strong time‑management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Self‑motivated, proactive, and comfortable working independently or as part of a global, distributed team.
