UAT Specialist (API‑Focused | Agile Delivery)

SUMMARY:
My client is looking for a UAT Specialist who enjoys working close to the code without being a developer.
This role is ideal for someone who loves understanding how systems talk to each other.
You’ll work on high‑impact, real‑world platforms used at serious scale

POSITION INFO:

My client operates in a complex, high‑transaction technology environment and is seeking a UAT Specialist who thrives in Agile teams and enjoys validating systems end‑to‑end.
 
This role sits at the intersection of business, QA and technology. The successful candidate will take ownership of UAT strategy and execution, working closely with developers, product owners and stakeholders to ensure solutions are production‑ready.
A strong focus of this role is API‑driven systems. You’ll be validating integrations between services, verifying data integrity across platforms, and ensuring business rules are correctly implemented from backend to UI.
 
What makes this role attractive for a developer‑type personality:
Exposure to modern architectures and system integrations
Deep understanding of APIs, data flows and business logic
Working within Scrum / Agile delivery teams
Seeing your testing directly influence live, high‑volume systems
 
This is a hands‑on role with real ownership, not a box‑ticking testing function.
 
Skills & Experience:
Minimum 3+ years’ experience in a UAT or software testing environment
Strong experience testing API‑based systems (REST / service integrations)
Ability to validate system‑to‑system interactions and data accuracy across platforms
Experience creating and executing manual test cases linked to user stories and business rules
Confident defect logging and tracking using tools such as Jira, Quality Center or similar
Experience working in Agile / Scrum environments (Waterfall exposure beneficial)
Solid understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle
Comfortable working with technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Qualification:
BSc in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
ISTQB / Certified Test Analyst (advantageous, not mandatory)
