Build quality in from the start. Lead by example. Deliver at scale.

TXP is growing, and we’re creating a new Senior Quality Engineer role to strengthen quality engineering across our internal platforms and client delivery teams.

This is a hands‑on senior role for someone who loves building robust test automation, embedding quality into modern delivery pipelines, and coaching others to raise the bar.

Collaborating closely with developers, including pair programming
Coaching and mentoring less experienced testers and quality engineers
Working in line with TXP’s technical, service, and quality standards
What we’re looking for
You’ll be an experienced quality professional who is comfortable operating at senior level while remaining hands‑on and delivery‑focused.

Experience we value:

Leading and embedding testing best practice across delivery teams
Defining testing policies, standards, and guidelines at enterprise scale
Strong experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks
Delivery within iterative/agile environments
Working with Continuous Integration and CI/CD pipelines
Managing priorities to meet delivery deadlines
