Job Description

We are looking for a QA engineer to help ensure the quality of our systems. This means providing information about how our systems behave and fulfil the needs of our users, so that the team can make meaningful decisions. Our QA is an advocate for our end users needs.

Our iterative approach means that we want our QA contribution to be shifted left in the process, helping to flush out requirements and ensure that theyre understood. We embed test automation within the development process, following Test-Driven Development and related practices.

We see the QA role to be as much about coaching colleagues in what to look for as about exercising the system. This means that the ability to work effectively with colleagues from other disciplines, especially product and domain experts, is essential.

We expect our software engineers to implement test automation, with guidance from our QA engineer, so we require only basic technical skills. Were more interested in their ability to deeply understand our domain and help break it down into testable features. Sometimes this includes asking a lot of questions.
