The duties: What You’ll Be Doing

Test Planning – Build and maintain test plans, test cases, and scripts for every piece of software before it reaches a customer.

Functional & Regression Testing – Run functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing across the platform, then track defects through to resolution.

Automation with Playwright – Design, build, and maintain automated test suites, integrating them into the CI/CD pipeline to keep releases fast and reliable.

Defect Management – Log and prioritise issues in JIRA, producing clear, reproducible bug reports the dev team can actually act on.

Collaboration – Work closely with developers and product owners throughout the development lifecycle, helping build a genuine quality-first culture.

About you: What We’re Looking For:

2-5 years’ experience as a QA Tester or Software Tester within a software development supplier

Hands-on experience with Playwright for web automation, end-to-end testing, and scripting

Strong test design and execution skills across functional, regression and exploratory testing

Experience with JIRA or similar defect/project management tools

Sharp attention to detail – you spot the edge cases others miss

Clear communicator, comfortable explaining issues to technical and non-technical people alike

Nice To Have

API testing tools (Postman, REST Assured)

CI/CD pipeline and Git experience

Experience testing asset management, RFID, or inspection-based software

What’s In It For You

  • 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
  • Liverpool-based role with a tight-knit, quality-driven dev team.

Must be able to commute to Liverpool, and have “the right to work” status.

If “good enough” isn’t in your vocabulary, and you’d rather build a Playwright script than manually click through the same flow for the tenth time — apply now.

  • Free parking
  • On-site parking

Ability to commute/relocate:

  • Liverpool, Merseyside: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)
