Your new role

\n

As an Automation Test Engineer, you’ll take ownership of
\n automated testing across our SaaS platform, working closely with
\n developers, product owners and DevOps to ensure high-quality
\n releases. You’ll develop and maintain Playwright automation
\n frameworks and test suites using TypeScript/JavaScript, covering
\n front-end UI and API testing. You’ll also integrate automated
\n tests into CI/CD pipelines, support regression and cross-browser
\n testing, investigate defects, analyse test results and champion
\n quality throughout the development lifecycle.

\n

Ensuring your success

\n

To succeed in this role, you’ll have at least 3 years’ experience
\n in front-end web automation using Playwright with
\n TypeScript/JavaScript, ideally within a SaaS environment. You’ll
\n have strong experience across UI, regression, cross-browser and
\n API testing, including REST/GraphQL, as well as experience with
\n Page Object Models, reusable test frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
\n You’ll be comfortable working in an Agile environment alongside
\n developers, Product Owners and Business Analysts. An ISTQB/ISEB
\n qualification or relevant degree would be advantageous, as would
\n experience with tools such as Quality Center or Zephyr.

\n

In return

\n

You’ll join a fast-paced, growing SaaS business where quality is
\n central to how we develop and deliver our products. You’ll have
\n the opportunity to take real ownership of automation, influence
\n testing practices across the wider business and work closely with
\n experienced technical and product teams. This is a hands-on role
\n where your expertise will have a genuine impact on product
\n quality, development processes and customer outcomes.
