Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to enhance one of our delivery teams at Rightmove. Our mission is to create innovative solutions that improve the home-finding experience for our users. Our applications, built on a microservices architecture, utilize technologies such as Oracle DB, Elastic Search, Kafka, and Couchbase to ensure seamless delivery of features and products.

Key Responsibilities

  • Promote best practices across all areas and foster a quality-centric culture within the team.
  • Create a collaborative environment where team members share accountability for quality.
  • Facilitate refinement sessions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of acceptance criteria, implementation specifics, risks, and monitoring details.
  • Assist the team in understanding and estimating testing efforts and dependencies during planning sessions.
  • Analyze requirements to identify gaps, potential user impacts, risks, and dependencies on internal and external services.
  • Evaluate designs to support the delivery of features that are accessible and inclusive.
  • Collaborate with engineers during development and code reviews to ensure adequate test coverage and prevent redundancy.
  • Maintain and enhance our automation testing framework for relevance and efficiency.

  • Engage with broader Rightmove teams and stakeholders on various topics.
  • Enhance QA processes across Rightmove by collaborating with the QA community.
  • Contribute actively to our QA community by sharing knowledge and learning from peers.

Our Beliefs

As QA engineers, we are advocates for quality, committed to embedding it throughout the development lifecycle to prevent defects rather than merely identifying them. We emphasize continuous testing and recognize that quality is a collective responsibility. Our expertise guides teams to critically evaluate all delivery aspects, including security, performance, accessibility, and usability.

Qualifications

  • Proven experience in Quality Assurance for large-scale web applications.
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies and continuous release practices.
  • Experience with complex microservice architectures.
  • Proficient in running and debugging automated test suites using frameworks like Nightwatch or Cypress.
  • Skilled in API testing tools such as Postman and RESTassured.
  • Understanding of web accessibility standards.
  • Experience with technologies like Elastic Search, Kafka, and Oracle DB.
  • Ability to lead and influence within your area of expertise.
  • Capability to mentor and support colleagues.
