For more than 30 years, the company's software has delivered an exceptional track record of reliability, with no customer ever experiencing a full day of disruption or outage. This is underpinned by a rigorous and uncompromising approach to Quality Assurance, ensuring every release is thoroughly tested before reaching customers., To support continued growth, we are recruiting a QA Engineer to join a close-knit Quality Assurance team of around five people. This is a brand-new position, created to strengthen the QA function as the wider engineering team continues to expand.

You'll work closely with a team of approximately 10 Software Engineers within a modern QA environment that combines both manual and automated testing.

The primary focus of this role will be to further enhance the company's automation testing capability, making a strong background in test automation essential. We're looking for someone with hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test suites using Cypress and TypeScript, while also being comfortable carrying out manual testing where required.

What makes this opportunity particularly exciting is the chance to become the QA team's AI Champion.
