Let’s cut through the noise…


This isn’t a “sit in the corner and run test scripts” kind of role.


This is for a tester who actually thinks. Someone who challenges, improves, and spots what others miss.


You’ll be working on a modern eCommerce / logistics platform used at serious scale—touching everything from web apps to APIs and backend systems. It’s complex, fast-moving, and genuinely interesting work.


What you’ll actually be doing



  • Getting hands‑on with manual + automated testing across web, mobile, desktop & APIs

  • Designing smart test scenarios (not just ticking boxes)

  • Building & maintaining automation frameworks (Playwright / Selenium / Selenide)

  • Working closely with Devs & stakeholders to improve quality, not just report bugs

  • Challenging how things are done and helping raise the bar across the team


Tech you’ll be around



  • Playwright (TypeScript)

  • Selenium / Selenide (Java)

  • Postman (API testing)

  • Git / Source control

  • Azure DevOps (nice to have)

  • SQL / Database testing

  • Performance tools (JMeter or similar)


What they’re looking for



  • ~3+ years in software testing

  • Strong experience testing web apps + APIs

  • Someone who understands how testing fits into the bigger picture

  • A problem‑solver, not just a test executor

  • Comfortable in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment


If you’ve touched automation and want to lean into it more, this is a great place to do it.


The package (this is where it stands out)



  • Up to £42k salary

  • 10% annual bonus (consistently paid)

  • 10% employer pension contribution

  • Realistically a £50k+ package


The extras that actually matter



  • 35‑hour working week (rare these days)

  • 1 full day per month protected for learning

  • Free parking

  • Showers onsite (ideal if you train before/after work)

  • Regular team socials (good culture, not forced fun)


Why this role?


Because you’ll:



  • Be trusted to think, not micromanaged

  • Work on real‑world high‑usage systems

  • Have time to develop properly (not just squeezed in)

  • Join a team that actually values quality engineering


If you’re a tester who wants to step up, get more technical, and have a voice, this is worth a conversation.


We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
