Location:

Let’s cut through the noise…

This isn’t a “sit in the corner and run test scripts” kind of role.

This is for a tester who actually thinks. Someone who challenges, improves, and spots what others miss.

You’ll be working on a modern eCommerce / logistics platform used at serious scale—touching everything from web apps to APIs and backend systems. It’s complex, fast-moving, and genuinely interesting work.

What you’ll actually be doing

Getting hands‑on with manual + automated testing across web, mobile, desktop & APIs
Designing smart test scenarios (not just ticking boxes)
Building & maintaining automation frameworks (Playwright / Selenium / Selenide)
Working closely with Devs & stakeholders to improve quality, not just report bugs
Challenging how things are done and helping raise the bar across the team

Tech you’ll be around

Playwright (Type Script)
Selenium / Selenide (Java)
Postman (API testing)
Git / Source control
Azure Dev Ops (nice to have)
SQL / Database testing
Performance tools (JMeter or similar)

What they’re looking for

~3+ years in software testing
Strong experience testing web apps + APIs
Someone who understands how testing fits into the bigger picture
A problem‑solver, not just a test executor
Comfortable in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment

If you’ve touched automation and want to lean into it more, this is a great place to do it.

The package (this is where it stands out)

Up to £42k salary
10% annual bonus (consistently paid)
10% employer pension contribution
Realistically a £50k+ package

The extras that actually matter

35‑hour working week (rare these days)
1 full day per month protected for learning
Free parking
Showers onsite (ideal if you train before/after work)
Regular team socials (good culture, not forced fun)

Why this role?

Because you’ll:

Be trusted to think, not micromanaged
Work on real‑world high‑usage systems
Have time to develop properly (not just squeezed in)
Join a team that actually values quality engineering

If you’re a tester who wants to step up, get more technical, and have a voice, this is worth a conversation.

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
