Job Description & How to Apply Below
Location: Lark Hill

Your reason for being here… You’re here to make quality real. Not as a gatekeeper. Not as a checkbox. But as something teams can rely on day in, day out.

You’ll join a small, high‑performing test team working across product engineering, enterprise platforms, and client delivery. It’s Lean, it’s fast‑moving, and it’s built on doing the right things well, not doing everything for the sake of it.

This is a hands‑on role. You’ll design, build, and improve test automation. You’ll shape how teams think about quality. And you’ll step in where it matters most, whether that’s automation, exploration, or straight‑talking risk.

Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain automated test coverage across UI, API, and integration layers
  • Contribute to reliable regression automation that supports confident change and release readiness
  • Apply the existing test strategy across delivery teams and help refine team standards and ways of working
  • Work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to shape testable requirements, identify quality risks early, and improve delivery outcomes
  • Carry out high‑value manual and exploratory testing where automation is not appropriate
  • Support release readiness and regression decisions with clear, risk‑based quality insight
  • Apply OWASP Top 10 awareness during test design and risk assessment
  • Actively test for common web security weaknesses and advise teams on risk
  • Facilitate light‑weight threat modelling with delivery teams
  • Test against WCAG standards in a practical delivery context
  • Identify accessibility issues in web products and work with teams to improve them
  • Help embed accessibility into test design and acceptance criteria
  • Create and manage effective test data for automated and manual testing
  • Work pragmatically with imperfect or unstable non‑production environments
  • Identify when environment or test data issues are creating false quality signals
  • Represent the test function in client delivery conversations and communicate quality concerns clearly to non‑test audiences
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in software testing, with clear senior‑level experience in test automation
  • Strong hands‑on experience designing and maintaining automation across UI, API, and integration layers
  • Experience with regression automation in fast‑moving delivery environments
  • Strong experience testing web applications, enterprise SaaS products, and client‑facing digital platforms
  • Practical experience of non‑functional testing, with particular strength in performance automation
  • Experience with Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium
  • Experience with Postman and REST Assured
  • Strong working knowledge of JavaScript or Type Script, plus experience with Java and Python
  • Experience working with Git Lab CI in support of delivery and release quality
  • Strong understanding of risk‑based testing, test design, and modern quality engineering practices
  • Practical security testing awareness, including OWASP Top 10 and light‑weight threat modelling
  • Practical accessibility testing experience, including working against WCAG standards
  • Experience using coding agents and AI‑assisted workflows in day‑to‑day engineering delivery
  • Ability to work effectively in an AI‑enabled environment, using these tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality, traceability, and sound technical judgement
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, product, and design disciplines
  • Extensive experience working in agile delivery environments, with a strong practical understanding of how agile ways of working help teams deliver on time, on scope, and on budget
How You Make It All Possible…

You bring a practical, delivery‑focused mindset and understand how to apply agile ways of working to help teams deliver on time, on scope, and on budget. You are comfortable working closely with engineers, product managers, designers, and client stakeholders, and you can explain quality concerns clearly to non‑test audiences.

You use modern tools pragmatically, including coding agents and AI‑assisted workflows, to improve test design, automation development, and delivery efficiency while maintaining strong engineering judgement and appropriate…
