Consultancy & Business Acumen:

• Client Leadership: An assertive and confident approach to client engagement, with the ability to act as a trusted advisor and stand your ground effectively on large, complex projects.
• Commercial Mindset: Strong commercial acumen, comfortable discussing business drivers like cost and ROI, and an eagerness to contribute to business development activities.

If you know some of this, even better:

• Deeper eCommerce Expertise: Proven experience in performance testing and analysis of e-commerce applications, preferably with platforms like IBM WebSphere Commerce, SAP Hybris, or Magento, or SFCC Sports.
• Broader Stack Exposure: Experience with SRE practices, caching/CDNs, containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes), or infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) from a performance perspective.
• Continuous Delivery Integration: Experience implementing performance testing and performance gates in CI/CD pipelines, including test automation, environment strategy, and integration with observability tooling.

Working as a team, no problem is insurmountable; we share in our client’s successes and believe that anyone can show creative bravery no matter what their role is in the team.

The opportunity:

We're looking for a Lead QA Engineer to be the technical authority on complex accounts. This is a hands-on technical leadership role—you'll architect automation frameworks, solve the hard problems, and set the technical direction for QA on your engagements, as well as being an active member of the QA community.

You're the person the team turns to when things get complicated. You've built automation from the ground up, you understand the trade-offs, and you know how to design solutions that scale. You lead through expertise—raising the bar technically and helping others grow through mentorship and demonstration.

You're also an innovator. You're actively using AI tools to accelerate your work and you're thinking about what's next—whether that's self-healing tests, smarter automation, or new approaches to quality. You don't just follow best practice; you help shape it.

And beyond the technical, you're a confident communicator who can hold your own with senior client stakeholders—explaining approaches, trade-offs, and recommendations to influence decisions at a project level.

What you’ll be doing:

• Be the technical lead for QA on complex engagements—owning test strategy and the automation approach
• Architect, build, and evolve automation frameworks that others can rely on and contribute to
• Own and solve the hard technical problems—test architecture, flaky tests, CI/CD integration, environment issues
• Set the technical direction for QA on your accounts—tooling, approach, and structure
• Drive shift-left practices, embedding quality into requirements, design, and development
• Design and execute test strategies across UI, functional, integration, API, accessibility and regression testing
• Mentor and elevate QA engineers through hands-on collaboration and knowledge sharing
• Innovate with AI—using modern tools to work smarter and exploring what's next for QA
• Communicate technical recommendations and trade-offs to clients and internal teams
• Participate in client-facing forums—demos, triage, release calls, and technical discussions
• Contribute to a specialism and share knowledge across the wider QA community

What we want from you:

• A clear track record in automation architecture and technical problem-solving
• Solid experience testing in complex, transactional environments
• Proficient in Playwright and TypeScript
• You've designed frameworks from scratch—not just written tests, but built the foundations
• Comfortable working across the full stack—Web apps, Native Apps, APIs, backends, logs, data
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf) and associated best practices.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD and how testing fits into modern delivery
• Experience working within agile scrum environments on complex, multi-stream deliveries
• Confident communicating technical concepts to clients, developers, and stakeholders
• A genuine continuous learner—curious, experimental, always evolving
• Pragmatic and delivery-focused, but motivated by a good technical challenge

If you know some of this even better:

• Experience building AI-powered testing capabilities
• A QA specialism you're passionate about
• Experience working across distributed teams
• Contributions to tooling, frameworks, or knowledge sharing beyond your immediate team

We're looking for a Senior QA Engineer to join our team, working primarily on ecommerce solutions. You'll be hands-on with both manual and automated testing, embedded within agile scrum teams, and collaborating closely with developers throughout the delivery lifecycle.

You're someone who's curious, pragmatic, and comfortable working in fast-moving environments. You know when to script and when to explore. You're not afraid of APIs, logs, or digging into the backend to understand what's really happening.

But beyond the technical—you're a strong communicator. You can explain issues clearly, present testing outcomes with confidence, and hold your own in client conversations. You're always looking for better ways to do things, whether that's improving a process, trying a new tool, or bringing fresh thinking to how we approach quality. You're a continuous learner who takes ownership of your own growth.

What you’ll be doing

• Design, document, and execute test cases across web applications, APIs, and backend systems
• Perform system testing, system integration testing, and exploratory testing
• Build and maintain test automation using Playwright (or similar) with JavaScript/TypeScript
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and contribute to their reliability
• Work in a shift-left approach—participating in refinements, planning, and requirements analysis to catch issues early
• Identify, document, and track defects with clear reproduction steps, collaborating with developers on root cause analysis
• Query and analyse data from various sources (databases, logs, monitoring tools) to investigate issues and validate behaviour
• Contribute to process improvements, and ways of working within your scrum team
• Communicate testing progress, risks, and quality metrics to both internal teams and clients
• Participate in client-facing meetings such as demos, triage calls, and release discussions
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve quality, tooling, or processes—and act on them

What we want from you

• Solid experience in QA or test engineering
• Experience testing ecommerce or transactional platforms—you understand customer journeys, checkout flows, payments, and integrations
• A strong balance of manual testing expertise and hands-on automation skills
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf) to accelerate your work
• Comfortable with API testing tools (e.g., Postman) and working with backend data—querying databases, reading logs, validating data flows
• Experience working within agile scrum environments—sprints, standups, refinements, and retros
• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling and practices
• Excellent communication skills—written and verbal—with the confidence to engage directly with clients and stakeholders
• A genuine continuous learning mindset—you stay curious, seek feedback, and actively develop your skills
• An innovative streak—you look for smarter ways to work and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail and strong problem-solving instincts
• Adaptable and open to evolving how you work, including adopting modern tools and approaches

Desirable Attributes

• Experience with performance or security testing
• Familiarity with cloud platforms or containerised environments
• Exposure to accessibility testing standards (WCAG)

• Commercial Mindset: Strong commercial acumen, comfortable discussing business drivers like cost and ROI, and an eagerness to contribute to business development activities.

If you know some of this, even better:

• Deeper eCommerce Expertise: Proven experience in performance testing and analysis of e-commerce applications, preferably with platforms like IBM WebSphere Commerce, SAP Hybris, or Magento, or SFCC Sports.
• Broader Stack Exposure: Experience with SRE practices, caching/CDNs, containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes), or infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) from a performance perspective.

• Contribute to a specialism and share knowledge across the wider QA community

What we want from you:

• A clear track record in automation architecture and technical problem-solving
• Solid experience testing in complex, transactional environments
• Proficient in Playwright and TypeScript
• You've designed frameworks from scratch—not just written tests, but built the foundations
• Comfortable working across the full stack—Web apps, Native Apps, APIs, backends, logs, data
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf) and associated best practices.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD and how testing fits into modern delivery
• Experience working within agile scrum environments on complex, multi-stream deliveries
• Confident communicating technical concepts to clients, developers, and stakeholders
• A genuine continuous learner—curious, experimental, always evolving
• Pragmatic and delivery-focused, but motivated by a good technical challenge

If you know some of this even better:
