Quality Assurance Engineer (Automation Focused)

SUMMARY:
Build quality into real software that runs a large, complex operation.
Own automation, influence delivery, and raise the bar for engineering teams.
This is a QA role where your thinking matters as much as your code.

POSITION INFO:

My client is looking for an experienced Quality Assurance Engineer to play a key role in building and maintaining high‑quality software solutions used at scale across a growing digital environment. This is not a tick‑box testing role, it’s for someone who enjoys thinking critically, writing automation, and influencing how software is delivered.
 
You’ll design and maintain automated test frameworks, build end‑to‑end test suites, and work closely with developers and product teams to ensure quality is considered early, not patched in at the end. You’ll still get hands‑on with manual and exploratory testing where it adds value, especially for complex business flows and edge cases.
 
This role suits someone who enjoys ownership, understands code, and wants to be part of a collaborative engineering culture where quality is taken seriously. You’ll help shape QA processes, contribute to CI/CD pipelines, and play a part in improving how teams test, release, and learn.
 
This role fits squarely within IT jobs, information technology jobs, and automation‑focused jobs in IT, commonly sourced through specialist IT recruitment and IT recruitment agencies.
 
Skills & Experience:
Proven experience in software QA / test engineering, with strong exposure to automation testing
Ability to write and maintain automated test scripts (ideally using C#)
Experience designing and maintaining test frameworks, test plans, and test suites
Solid understanding of SDLC, test methodologies, and QA best practices
Comfortable performing manual, exploratory, regression, and edge‑case testing when needed
Experience logging, tracking, and validating defects using test and issue‑tracking tools
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and automated test execution in build/deploy flows
Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a quality‑first mindset
Confident communicator who collaborates well with developers and product teams

Qualification:
Relevant IT qualification or equivalent practical experience
