Job description

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test, you'll operate as a true engineer within a product-aligned squad. You'll own automation-first testing across cloud-native, API-driven systems and play a key role in shaping how quality is embedded across the wider platform.

This is a hands-on role with real influence - not a test-lead-by-proxy position.

What You'll Be Doing

Designing and delivering robust test strategies aligned to product and platform goals
Building and evolving automated test frameworks across UI, API, integration, and performance
Driving a culture of automation-by-default and continuous improvement
Testing complex, distributed systems and high-volume integrations
Contributing to CI/CD pipelines and release confidence
Partnering closely with Software Engineers and Product teams
Mentoring junior engineers and raising quality standards across squads
