We’re hiring a QA / Test Automation Engineer to own and transform the testing function inside a growing SaaS business. This is a permanent role for someone with a genuine automation-first mindset — not aspiration, real hands‑on delivery.

Overview

Our client builds and hosts a complex, transaction‑heavy digital platform used by businesses across the UK. Think invoicing, payments, integrations – processes where quality genuinely matters.

The Tech

  • Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber
  • Azure and containerised deployment
  • VB6 legacy applications
  • REST API and CRM integration

Responsibilities

  • Own QA delivery across monthly release cycles.
  • Drive the shift from 70% manual testing toward automation‑led coverage.
  • Lead regression testing and risk‑based test planning.
  • Solve real legacy automation challenges – VB6 forms‑based testing that pushes technical boundaries.

Qualifications

  • Familiarity with modern frameworks – Playwright, Selenium, TestSigma or similar.
  • Coding ability in .NET, C# or Java.
  • Experience testing complex transactional business processes.
  • Self‑directed learner – no waiting to be spoon‑fed.

Nice to Have

  • ISTQB certification
  • SQL for test data
  • Azure/DevOps experience
  • VB6 experience

Why This Role Stands Out

The culture here genuinely encourages innovation – you’ll have freedom to introduce frameworks and tooling that work. The challenge is real: legacy complexity sits alongside modern web and API components, meaning no two days look the same.

You’ll report directly to an Engineering Lead, with visible strategic impact from day one. This is a role where you shape the function – not just execute someone else’s playbook.
