## About the Role

You'll have commercial experience developing automated testing solutions or software within modern engineering environments (ideally with native app experience) and enjoy solving technical problems through engineering. You'll already have demonstrable experience in many of the following areas:

 * Developing automated test frameworks for API, UI and integration testing
 * Proven ability with test automation frameworks. Experience with a native app testing framework like espresso or XCTest (or appium / maestro) would really make you stand out for this role.
 * API testing using tools and frameworks such as REST Assured, Postman or similar.
 * CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated testing into deployment workflows.
 * Version control systems such as Git.
 * Cloud platforms and modern software delivery practices.
 * Working within Agile development teams.
 * Performance, resilience or security testing (desirable).

## Description

* Design, develop and maintain scalable automated test frameworks and reusable test solutions across our products and platforms.
 * Build automated API, integration, end-to-end and non-functional tests to ensure the quality, reliability and performance of our applications.
 * Develop and maintain automated tests as part of our CI/CD pipelines, providing rapid feedback and supporting continuous delivery.
 * Collaborate with Software Engineers, Product Managers and Architects to define quality strategies and embed testing early within the development lifecycle.
 * Champion engineering best practices, including test automation, shift-left testing and quality by design.
 * Contribute to the development of internal tooling that improves engineering efficiency, test automation and developer experience.
 * Support root cause analysis of defects and work collaboratively to identify preventative solutions that improve product quality.
 * Participate in code reviews, test strategy discussions and continuous improvement activities to maintain high engineering and quality standards.
 * Continuously evaluate emerging tools, technologies and approaches that enhance quality engineering practices across the organisation.
