Qualifications

  • We are particularly interested in experience with:
  • Cypress.io or another modern test automation framework.
  • BDD frameworks such as Cucumber.
  • API testing with Postman, Insomnia, or similar tools.
  • Test case management using QMetry or equivalent.
  • JIRA for defect, task, and sprint management.
  • System, regression, and integration testing.
  • Working collaboratively with software developers and other technical and business stakeholders.
  • Just as importantly, you will be methodical and curious, with strong attention to detail and the confidence to communicate technical issues clearly.

Nice to have:

  • JavaScript or SQL knowledge, or experience working within a Java-based environment.
  • Exposure to Playwright.
  • Experience within UK insurance, particularly Motor Claims, Anti-Fraud, Property, or Personal Injury.
  • Experience with performance or load testing tools such as JMeter or k6.
  • Experience using AI-assisted tools, such as GitHub Copilot, to improve testing or engineering workflows.
  • An ISTQB, ISEB, or other recognized software testing certification.
  • Experience developing or working with test strategies in regulated or highly compliant environments.

Responsibilities

  • You will join a collaborative Agile Scrum team, taking ownership of automated testing while helping the team continuously improve how quality is delivered.
  • You will:
  • Design, develop, and maintain automated tests using Cypress.io and BDD practices with Cucumber, while contributing to our migration toward Playwright.
  • Work alongside developers, product owners, and business analysts to understand requirements early and build effective test coverage.
  • Own system, regression, and integration testing across multiple environments.
  • Validate REST API integrations using tools such as Postman or Insomnia.
  • Create and maintain effective test cases in QMetry, aligned with product requirements and the wider test strategy.
  • Identify, investigate, and track defects through JIRA, partnering with developers to reproduce issues and get to the root of problems.
  • Define appropriate test data and quality benchmarks, while identifying opportunities to improve our automation and testing practices.
  • Contribute actively to sprint planning, stand-ups, backlog refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and quarterly PI planning.
  • Support release readiness by planning test activity, reviewing release notes, and validating functionality before deployment.
