In this role, you will leverage your strong engineering and automation expertise to champion shift-left testing and drive the automation of quality control within the team. As a Senior Engineer, you will shape the architecture and best practices of test automation tooling and implementation, acting as a bridge between development and QA to ensure collaborative contributions across the board.

About the Client

Today, their solution is rated #1 by the National Security Agency. Initially designed to protect businesses from advanced file-based threats, their platform is now trusted by commercial and governmental organisations across the globe.

Work/Life Balance

The client places a high value on maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

They offer flexibility in working hours and encourage employees to find a balance that suits both their personal and professional lives.

  • Office travel and work-from-home expense coverage.
  • 25 days holiday, in addition to public holidays.
  • Private medical insurance, including mental health support and cancer care.
  • Enhanced sick pay.
  • Company-sponsored life, critical illness, and income protection insurance.
  • Contributory pension scheme.
  • Access to salary sacrifice benefits, such as Cycle to Work and Tech Schemes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement automated test scripts for functional and non-functional testing (e.g., performance, security, resource consumption) using appropriate frameworks and tools.
  • Collaborate with developers to promote best practices in unit testing and assist them in building testable code.
  • Identify automation opportunities and migrate manual tests to automated solutions.
  • Work closely with DevOps engineers to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and optimise test execution strategies.
  • Collaborate with product owners to refine and prioritise internal work items in the backlog.
  • Stay updated on the latest testing trends, tools, and methodologies, proposing enhancements to the testing infrastructure.
  • Document test automation processes and best practices for future reference.
  • Mentor and coach less experienced team members.

Required Knowledge, Experience, and Values

  • Strong experience in software QA, with a focus on test automation for libraries and SDKs.
  • Significant development/scripting experience in Python or another relevant language.
  • A solid understanding of unit testing.
  • Experience with test-driven development (TDD), and exposure to the Robot Framework is desirable.
  • Experience with non-functional testing techniques.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and their integration with automated testing.
  • Experience with cloud environments, including building, deploying, and testing software on these platforms.
  • A strong grasp of Agile methodologies and DevOps principles, especially as they apply to continuous delivery of software libraries.
  • Experience working in Scrum teams, driving in-sprint test case development and exploratory testing.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a cutting-edge company at the forefront of file-based threat protection.
