Looking for a role where you can lead on automation, shape test strategy, and work on large-scale, high-impact software? This is it.

We’re hiring a Senior Test Engineer to join a modern SaaS product team building scalable platforms used by major UK organisations. You’ll be hands-on with automation from day one, working alongside engineers, product managers, and DevOps to embed quality across the development lifecycle.

Expect a fast-moving Agile environment, great tooling, and real autonomy to influence how things are done.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Designing and delivering automation frameworks from the ground up

  • Building and maintaining robust test suites – regression, integration, performance

  • Working closely with cross-functional teams to support high-quality releases

  • Mentoring junior engineers and leading on quality-first engineering practices

  • Driving improvements in testing tools, pipelines, and processes

Tech you’ll use:

  • C#, Cypress, RestSharp, Postman, K6

  • Docker, AWS, SQL, Git

  • Agile sprints, CI/CD pipelines, and frequent product releases

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong background in test automation and API testing

  • Experience working with modern automation tools (C#, JavaScript frameworks, etc.)

  • Comfortable taking the lead on test strategy and mentoring others

  • A team player who thrives in fast-paced, product-led environments

Why apply?

  • £70,000 salary + strong benefits package

  • Hybrid working – choose from Leeds, Manchester, or Leicestershire offices

  • Enterprise-scale software, high-visibility work, and no micromanagement

  • A tech team that values clean code, continuous improvement, and collaboration
