• Contribute to release support activities

• Create automated tests to progress automation work items and enhance the existing test suite (e.g. using Selenium)

• Support and maintain the test automation framework, contributing to new features, existing functionality, and bug fixes

• Collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to resolve issues in a timely manner, keeping progress and risks visible

• Actively contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, recommending quality and process improvements where appropriate

What You Will Need

• Practical experience working in a Quality Assurance or Test Automation role, supporting automated and manual testing activities

• Curiosity – you ask the right questions, listening and learning to get better every day

• Familiarity with working in an agile development environment (Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe), ideally within complex systems

• Hands‑on experience with test automation, including creating and maintaining automated tests (e.g. using Selenium WebDriver and Java)

• A solid understanding of software testing principles, including test planning, estimation, prioritisation, and risk‑based testing

• Exposure to agile testing practices such as BDD, TDD, or similar approaches

• Ability to analyse requirements and user stories, identifying risks and appropriate test coverage

• An understanding of quality management methods, tools and technologies, with a mindset focused on continuous improvement

• Strong collaboration and communication skills

• UNIX and SQL skills

• A bachelor’s in computer science, information systems, or other related discipline, or the equivalent experience.
