• Inquisitive
• Open to challenge and be challenged
• Taking initiative
• Accountable

You have experience with various types of software and infrastructure and are passionate about helping to improve the quality of products you work on, through questions, curiosity and exploration.

You'll play a key role in ensuring quality is embedded from development through to production, contributing to test planning, exploratory testing, defect management and continuous improvement. You'll also have the opportunity to mentor others, share best practices and help shape the team's quality engineering approach within a supportive and collaborative environment.

• Experienced with BDD frameworks such as Cucumber.
• Commercially experienced testing REST APIs, using tools such as REST Assured and Postman.
• Comfortable working with Java Spring Boot applications and mocking frameworks such as WireMock.
• Experienced integrating automated testing into CI/CD delivery pipelines and embedding quality throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Confident designing effective test cases, performing exploratory testing and carrying out root cause analysis to investigate defects.
• Comfortable working with PostgreSQL and validating data using SQL queries.
• Experience creating and maintaining test data, including working with structured formats such as JSON.
• Familiar with cloud-native and containerised environments, including technologies such as AWS and Kubernetes.
• Experience using engineering and collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence and Kibana to manage defects, report progress and support delivery.
• Knowledge of accessibility, non-functional or performance testing would be advantageous.
• A collaborative communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills, able to build strong relationships across cross-functional delivery teams.
• Planning, organisation and prioritisation skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams while maintaining high quality standards.
• Adaptable, proactive and comfortable working across Agile delivery environments while taking ownership of delivering high-quality software.

What we can offer you...

• Leadership pathways tailored to your personal and professional development, providing clear direction for your career at 2i.
• 26 days annual leave, plus the option to buy or sell up to five additional days.
• Private Healthcare alongside a range of wellbeing benefits including gym memberships, counselling services and Cycle to Work schemes.
• Annual performance bonus of up to 10%, linked to both individual and company performance.
• Flexible hybrid and remote working across the UK.
• The opportunity to work alongside highly skilled Quality Engineers on modern cloud technologies while continuing to develop your technical and leadership capabilities.
