## Description

I'm supporting a global software company hiring for a QA Automation Engineer.

This is much more than maintaining existing automated tests.

They're looking for someone who enjoys improving the way software is delivered.

You'll help evolve their automation capability, improve release confidence and explore how AI can be used to accelerate development without compromising quality. The company have a global reach, but the teams size isn't too big for you to feel that you can make a genuine impact here, because you can. They want to hire someone with a genuine passion for Quality. Someone who has been involved in driving efficiency through better automation at their previous company.

Working alongside a close knit team of Engineers, you'll play an active role throughout the software development lifecycle, helping identify issues early and continuously improving their automation approach.

 * Playwright
 * TypeScript + some legacy C#
 * API Automation
 * AI-assisted development tools
 * Azure DevOps
 * Git
 * CI/CD
 * Jira & Xray
