About The Role

  • Collaborating with Developers, Team Leads, Product Owners and QA
  • Contributing to CI/CD testing practices

  • Supporting production incidents when required
  • (For Seniors) Mentoring junior/intermediate testers and contributing to testing strategy

  • Hands-on experience in cloud environments (purely on-prem backgrounds unsuitable)
  • Solid backend / microservices testing experience
  • Strong API testing capability
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong understanding of QA fundamentals, defect management and documentation

Nice to Have

  • Performance testing experience (e.g., JMeter)
  • Familiarity with TDD/BDD
  • Exposure to mobile testing (not essential)

Who This Will Suit

  • A Senior Test Engineer who wants to own automation, influence best practices, and work across a modern cloud-native microservices domain
  • OR a high-level Intermediate Test Engineer with strong automation skills who is ready to step up
  • Someone who enjoys close collaboration in a cross-functional squad
  • A tester who is comfortable working in ambiguous or evolving environments and improving testing maturity

Why Join This Team?

  • Work on meaningful backend systems within a modern cloud tech stack
  • High visibility role within a growing engineering function
  • Supportive Engineering Team Lead and collaborative squad
  • Real opportunity to uplift automation coverage and leave your mark
