Full Job Description
We are looking for a experienced QA Engineer, for an existing vacancy in our Enterprise Projects team to help build and shape our Quality Assurance function. This role will be instrumental in establishing QA strategies, best practices, tools, and automation frameworks across the organization. You will take ownership of quality, ensuring systems and solutions are thoroughly tested, reliable, and aligned with both technical and business expectations. Working closely with developers, business analysts, and stakeholders, you will bring a structured, detail-oriented approach to validating complex systems and data. This is an opportunity to influence testing standards, improve delivery quality, and contribute to a growing, collaborative team. Our offices currently operate on a hybrid model with a combination of in-office and remote working days throughout the week.

What You Will Do
  • Design and execute comprehensive end-to-end test strategies covering functional, integration, regression, and non-functional testing to ensure complete validation of system behaviour and business processes.
  • Develop, maintain, and scale test plans, test cases, and automated test scripts, enabling repeatable, efficient, and high-quality testing across multiple environments and application layers.
  • Validate data integrity, calculations, and system outputs, ensuring consistency with business rules and identifying downstream impacts across interconnected enterprise systems and workflows.
  • Proactively identify, assess, and communicate quality risks, gaps, and failure points early in the development lifecycle to support informed release decisions and reduce production issues.
  • Manage the full defect lifecycle, ensuring issues are clearly documented, prioritized, tracked, and resolved in collaboration with development teams and stakeholders.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams to understand requirements, review solution designs, and ensure systems are testable, scalable, and aligned with business objectives.
  • Leverage and expand test automation frameworks and tools to improve testing coverage, efficiency, and reliability while reducing manual effort and execution time.
  • Support UAT, release validation, and production issue investigation, using root cause analysis to continuously improve system quality and prevent recurring defects.


What You Bring
  • 10+ years of experience in software quality assurance within enterprise environments, with a strong track record of designing and executing comprehensive testing strategies.
  • Deep expertise in manual testing, including functional, integration, and regression testing, combined with hands-on experience building or maintaining automated testing frameworks.
  • Proficiency with automation tools and scripting languages such as Playwright, JavaScript, or Python to develop scalable, maintainable automated test solutions.
  • Strong understanding of QA methodologies, tools, and best practices, including test management and defect tracking systems like JIRA or Azure DevOps.
  • Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and modern development practices to support continuous testing and high-quality software delivery.
  • Solid analytical, problem-solving, and data validation skills, with a high attention to detail and the ability to identify complex system issues and edge cases.
  • Experience working in Agile environments, collaborating effectively with distributed teams and managing multiple priorities in fast-paced delivery cycles.
  • A continuous improvement mindset, with curiosity to learn new tools and technologies, and a passion for enhancing testing standards, processes, and overall product quality.
