~ Working Details This is a full-time role (37.We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be a little flexible around this, just let us know.
We’re ideally looking for someone in/around Edinburgh, though we’re open to the possibility of this being a remote role (as long as you're in the UK). We're making the most of hybrid working, so you won't need to come into the office everyday (unless you want to). Our remote staff visit the Edinburgh office periodically for team events, workshops, and to connect with colleagues in person.

Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background.
This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how we measure and improve our capability to deliver software with high quality in a scalable way. Core Skills: API Testing, Automated Testing
Other Skills: Manual Testing, Agile
