Quality Engineer

3 days ago

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Opus 2 Full time

The Quality Engineer is an embedded member of a cross-functional engineering team responsible for enabling high-quality delivery through test automation, quality-focused engineering practices, and early defect prevention. Rather than acting as a gatekeeper, this role partners with developers, product managers, and designers to build quality into the product from the start.

What you'll be doing
  • Collaborate with developers to design testable solutions and integrate testing into development workflows.
  • Build, maintain, and improve automated test suites (unit, integration, API, E2E, performance where appropriate).
  • Develop and maintain testing frameworks/tools that improve speed, stability, and developer experience.
  • Embrace and spread shift-left testing practices — early identification and prevention of defects.
  • Support teams in writing Acceptance Tests and improving acceptance criteria clarity.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable feedback loops.
  • Analyse test failures, identify root causes, and partner with the team to resolve issues early.

What we're looking for in you

Technical

  • Strong experience with automated testing: API, UI, integration, acceptance, unit.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, Java, C#, etc.).
  • Able to work in TDD / BDD using Mocks on production code
  • Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress etc.).
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins etc.).
  • Familiarity with microservices, cloud environments, and containerisation (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Awareness of non-functional requirements (e.g. security, performance etc.).

Quality Practices

  • Workshop facilitation (3 Amigos, Example Mapping etc.).
  • Write well defined Acceptance Criterias with cross-functional collaboration.
  • Strong understanding of testing principles, exploratory testing, and test design.
  • Shift-Left experience, preventing defects via early collaboration and specification refinement.

Soft Skills

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Proactive, curious, and able to challenge assumptions constructively.
  • Continuous improvement mindset
