One of the UK’s most interesting engineering teams right now. B-Corp certified, 25+ year heritage, but genuinely modern tech. They ship multiple times a week and they’re building a QA function from the ground up rather than inheriting someone else’s mess.
This isn’t a hands-on testing role. It’s a leadership position where you define the automation strategy, set the standards, and coach engineers across the business to own quality in their own teams. Think quality gates in GitHub Actions, a real mandate to explore AI-assisted testing, and a stack that’s actually worth working on rather than being a buzzword on a slide.
The tooling you’ll be working with:
- Postman (API testing and contract validation)
- GitHub Actions (CI/CD pipelines and quality gates)
The stack under test:
- Python microservices with Kafka
- React / Next.js / TanStack Query (frontend)
- Terraform-managed environments
So you’ll need to be comfortable with the full picture, not just the UI layer.
What they’re actually looking for is someone who’s led QA in a fast-moving product environment before, has strong Playwright experience (or equivalent), and knows how to instrument and report on quality metrics that engineering teams actually trust. A coaching mindset is essential; you’re setting direction, not writing every test.
