Job description

Salary: Up to £55,000

Team: IT Applications

A London Market insurance business is looking to hire a mid-level Application Test Engineer to join its growing IT Applications team.

This hire comes as part of a team transition, and they’re keen to bring in someone who is currently operating in a manual testing role and is genuinely motivated to expand further into automation.

What They’re Looking For

  • 5+ years’ experience in software testing / QA
  • Experience testing internally developed web applications
  • Some exposure to automation testing and a clear desire to develop further
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
  • Familiarity with JIRA or similar tools
  • Understanding of test design techniques (e.g. boundary value analysis, equivalence partitioning, risk-based testing)
  • ISTQB certification (or equivalent)
  • Experience within the insurance sector (London Market / General Insurance preferred)

They’re a small team, so personality and collaboration matter. You’ll need to be confident enough to constructively challenge Developers, comfortable working closely with stakeholders, and proactive in improving quality processes.

Package & Working Model

  • Up to £55,000
  • Hybrid working - 3 days per week in the London office
  • Opportunity to genuinely grow into a stronger automation-focused tester

If you’re currently heavily manual but ready to move your career toward automation in a supportive environment, this could be a strong next step.
