  • Support quality initiatives within a modernised technology stack while assisting with the transition away from legacy systems
  • Monitor and maintain platform health, including reviewing logs, metrics, alerts, and system behaviour to proactively identify risks
  • Collaborate closely with Engineering and Product teams to validate features, troubleshoot issues, and drive quality improvements
  • Utilise tools such as Cypress, Playwright, X-ray, and Jira to manage test cases, execution, and reporting
Key Skills & Experience
  • Proven experience in software testing, including strong desktop and mobile application testing experience (essential)
  • Hands-on experience with automation frameworks, particularly Cypress (Playwright also considered)
  • Experience working within a SaaS environment, with an understanding of cloud-based delivery models (Azure), releases, and platform reliability
  • Api Integratin testing skill needed.
  • Familiarity with X-ray and Jira for test management and tracking
