Software Tester

Role: Software Tester (Manual + Automation)
Location: Nottingham
Working Model: Hybrid | 35-hour week
Salary: Up to £42k + 10% Bonus + 10% Pension ~£50k Package

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.
