About
Edinburgh – Hybrid
Join a fast‑growing technology business that is shaping the future of innovative solutions. We are looking for a
Senior Software Quality Engineer
to play a key role in delivering high‑quality products through automation, collaboration, and proactive quality practices.
Rather than acting as a gatekeeper, you will work closely with developers, product managers, and designers to build quality into the product from the start. This is an opportunity to influence engineering culture and make a real impact on how software is delivered.
What You Will Be Doing
Collaborate with developers to design testable solutions and integrate testing into development workflows.
Build, maintain, and improve automated test suites (unit, integration, API, E2E, performance, where appropriate).
Develop and maintain testing frameworks/tools that improve speed, stability, and developer experience.
Embrace and spread shift‑left testing practices – early identification and prevention of defects.
Support teams in writing Acceptance Tests and improving acceptance criteria clarity.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable feedback loops.
Analyse test failures, identify root causes, and partner with the team to resolve issues early.
Technical Skills
Strong experience with automated testing: API, UI, integration, acceptance, unit.
Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, Java, C#, etc.).
Hands‑on experience with modern automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress).
Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
Familiarity with microservices, cloud environments, and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
Awareness of non‑functional requirements (security, performance).
Quality Practices
Writing well‑defined Acceptance Criteria with cross‑functional collaboration.
Strong understanding of testing principles, exploratory testing, and test design.
Shift‑left experience, preventing defects via early collaboration and specification refinement.
Additional Information
Hybrid working – 3 days in a vibrant Edinburgh city centre office.
Competitive salary and benefits including contributory pension, health insurance, and enhanced parental leave.
33 days annual holiday, flexible working, and loyalty share scheme.
Regular social events, mindfulness sessions, and a yearly development retreat.
