Software Tester

6 months ago

Cambridge, United Kingdom GMSL Full time

**Opportunity**

We have a great opportunity for an experienced software tester to join our excellent software development team based in Cambridge.

**GMSL**

GMSL is the market-leading provider of 24/7 energy portfolio management services and software in Europe and plays a vital role in the energy business. We have unparalleled expertise in the industry, built up over 25 years of operating in energy markets throughout Europe.

**Development approach**

We develop software using an agile approach, which focuses on our ability to respond to change. Our culture is broadly based on Extreme Programming (XP) practices, but we take a pretty pragmatic view about this. We adapt our processes to support the context, rather than follow a standard rigid process for all situations.

**Product teams**

We develop software in a number of small product teams, each focused on one of our software products. Testers are an integral part of our product teams working alongside developers and business experts in every stage of the software development process. Our work is very collaborative, and having a friendly office environment is very important to us.

We trust the teams who do the work to learn how best to do it.

**Testing approach**

Our testers follow a context-driven testing approach, treating learning, test design and test execution as simultaneous tasks. We understand our customers’ needs and help ensure the team are solving the right problems to deliver value to our users. We adapt our testing process according to the needs of the product, the team and the goals of the current development. Testing for us includes exploratory testing, creating automated tests, and creating our own test tools and scripts, depending on the type of risks we identify.

**Training and development**

We encourage learning for all and provide time for people to improve on their skills and learn new ones. We provide access to online training courses, pro membership to Ministry of Testing, and also attend training courses, such as Rapid Software Testing. We also run regular internal knowledge sharing sessions and attend conferences and local meetups.

**Responsibilities**

Once you have gained a solid understanding of the complexities of UK and European energy market rules, the role will include the following responsibilities:

- Clarifying requirements and challenging assumptions during the development of new features.
- Identifying areas of risk where testing would add value.
- Exploratory testing of a complex and wide-ranging product.
- Acceptance testing in collaboration with the Product Owners.
- Creating automated tests that capture end-to-end business requirements.
- Helping to recreate and troubleshoot issues.

**Your experience**

We are looking for someone who:

- Has 5+ years’ experience in software development as a software tester, or business analyst, or similar role.
- Has a strong interest in understanding the business needs of customers and users.
- Has demonstrable experience of working with complex commercial software products.
- Has an analytic and inquiring mind, who enjoys problem solving and lateral thinking.
- Has developed a sound grasp of the theory of testing and the wider testing life cycle.
- Has good interpersonal skills and enjoys collaborating with others. Everything we do is done as part of a team, so being able to cooperate with others to meet shared goals, empathise, and form trusting relationships is key.

It would be beneficial, **but not essential**, to have:

- Some experience of automated testing tools with a good understanding of what they are useful for and what they are not useful for.

You **don’t** need:

- any experience with any particular development technology.
- any experience of our particular business sector.

All our software teams spend at least one day a week in the office and this role requires 2-3 days a week in our office, so you need to be based within easy travel to Cambridge.

**Salary**

Salary will be reflective of your level of experience.
- Location Central Cambridge - Hybrid (2-3 days a week in office)
- Job type Permanent
- Hours Mon-Fri, 37.5 hours per week

**Benefits**

Our benefits include:

- Annual discretionary bonus scheme
- Company pension scheme (6% employer contribution)
- 25 days' holiday
- Private health care
- Flexible working hours and remote working
- Casual dress and a relaxed environment
- Employee assistance program
- Loyal service award
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Fresh fruit and great coffee
- Free access to Cambridge University Botanic Gardens
- Monthly team pub lunches

**Working at GMSL**

We are a small team. We have around 30 people in our software team, so even though we are a part of a company of around 100 people overall, the software team has retained a small team “startup” feel. Your colleagues will be from a wide variety of backgrounds - we encourage diversity, openness and gender equality.

We value the long-term. The success and stabilit
