Job Description:

Software Quality Engineer


Bristol, hybrid working


£40,000 to £50,000 + bonus + excellent benefits

You know quality isn’t just process. It’s influence. It’s judgement. It’s the difference between something that works and something that works when it matters most.

This role puts you right in the middle of that.

This isnt a role where you will be qualifying software, but a role where you will be shaping the processes and quality that software engineering teams work by.

You’ll be working with software teams developing complex, safety-critical systems, supporting projects where failure isn’t an option. Not policing from the sidelines, but embedded, influencing, challenging, improving.

If you’ve worked across the software lifecycle and want to step further into quality, assurance, and real engineering impact, this is a strong move.

What you’ll be doing

    Working alongside software engineers across the full lifecycle

    Leading and supporting project quality assessments

    Identifying risks, issues, and areas for improvement

    Driving best practice across processes, standards, and assurance

    Influencing teams to deliver better, more robust software

What you’ll bring

    Experience in software development and/or quality assurance

    Understanding of software lifecycle and engineering processes

    Exposure to standards, assurance, or regulated environments

    Strong communication, able to challenge and influence

    Calm, structured thinking when things get complex

Audit, configuration management, or requirements tools experience would be useful, but not essential.

Why this role

    Real engineering impact on complex, high-profile systems

    Clear development path within quality and assurance

    Strong benefits package, including bonus, pension, overtime and flexible working

    A collaborative environment where quality has a voice

You’ll need to be eligible for UK security clearance, holding current British citzenship.

If you’re looking to move from “doing the work” to shaping how it’s done, this is a role worth exploring.
