Title: Head of QA

Salary: £100,000 + great benefits

Location: Central London - typically 3-4 times a month in office

Opportunity: Driving best QA practices, pushing boundaries and realising positive change


We are looking for a technical, hands-on Head of QA to join a reputable Financial Technology company.

This role will be most suited to somebody who has come from a technical SDET background, has conviction and confidence in their communication, can evangelise great QA practices and is able to deal with alternative viewpoints and occasionally chaotic environments.


At least to begin with, you'll be hands on building upon the existing test automation framework, giving priority to frontend first. The framework in place is great, however the coverage is low so that will be a challenge that needs addressing.

  • Very comfortable with Javascript, Typescript and some Java, Kotlin
  • You'll know your way around both frontend and backend of Apps, environments and multi OS
  • Docker, Kubernetes & CI
  • A good understanding of Performance Testing and suitable tools will be advantageous


Behavioural


  • Must be self-motivated and able to inspire others
  • Comfortable leading initiatives and working closely with an existing QA/SDET team
  • Great instincts and natural curiosity
  • Be able to learn their area of business expertise
  • Have the courage to push boundaries and make this role your very own


Interview process


  • 30 minute exploratory conversation
  • 60 minute technical conversation (no take home tasks)
  • 45 minute panel discussion with wider team
