Introduction
This role can be based in Edinburgh and Amsterdam
Are you an experienced Quality Engineer who enjoys improving software quality in a measurable way and helping teams release with confidence?
In this role, you help teams build quality into the full software development lifecycle — from early design discussions (shift-left) to validating behaviour in production (shift-right). You work closely with engineers to reduce late-stage defects, improve observability and ensure systems remain reliable under scale, high data volumes and real user traffic.
You’ll operate in a modern B2C/SaaS environment where platforms, integrations and data pipelines continuously evolve and need to perform reliably under load.
This is not a traditional QA role focused mainly on manual testing or acting as a final gate before release. Instead, you act as a hands-on Quality Engineer embedded within engineering teams, helping create scalable quality practices through automation, CI/CD, observability and strong engineering collaboration.
As Quality Engineer, you’ll:
- Identify risks early across architecture, integrations, data flows and scalability
- Design, build and maintain automated quality checks within CI/CD pipelines
- Help improve release confidence through measurable quality signals and production insights
- Use logs, metrics, traces and observability tooling to validate behaviour and identify issues in production
- Work closely with developers to improve testability, reliability and engineering quality across the SDLC
You'd describe yourself as follows:
- You have 5+ years of experience as a hands-on Quality Engineer in modern CI/CD-driven environments
- You have experience with automated testing across unit, integration, contract and end-to-end layers
- You understand how distributed systems behave under scale, load and high data throughput
- You have worked in B2C, SaaS or other high-traffic environments where reliability matters
- You are comfortable using metrics and production insights to continuously improve software quality
About the team
You will join one of our cross-functional product teams within the Technology & Digital department. These teams build and maintain secure, scalable digital platforms that support our lotteries across multiple countries. Engineers, Product Owners and Architects work closely together to continuously improve reliability, performance and user experience.
