Junior Test Engineer

As an Junior Test Engineer, you’ll support the planning, execution, automation and documentation of testing across Salesforce, MuleSoft integrations and enterprise data flows. You’ll take ownership of clearly defined testing activities while building the capability to progress towards a Test Engineer role., Prepare and execute test conditions, test cases, test data and expected results for defined Salesforce, MuleSoft and data changes.

Changes are tested consistently against agreed requirements and quality standards.

Review requirements, designs and acceptance criteria with support from experienced colleagues.

Gaps, ambiguities and testability concerns are identified early.

Record defects with clear steps, evidence, actual results and expected outcomes, and support retesting through to closure.

Delivery teams can investigate efficiently and make informed release decisions.

Execute existing Copado Robotic Testing suites and create straightforward automated tests using approved patterns.

Repeatable testing becomes more efficient, reliable and scalable.

Maintain accurate execution status, traceability, test evidence and defect records.

Quality decisions are supported by clear, auditable information.

Collaborate across Agile ceremonies, release validation and post-deployment checks while managing assigned work and escalating blockers.

Quality is embedded throughout delivery and risks are addressed promptly.

Why this role matters:

Technology & Change is a strategic priority for Vanquis. This development role helps us deliver reliable change by strengthening test coverage, producing accurate evidence, identifying defects early and supporting controlled release activity across business-critical platforms.
