Senior QA Engineer - Warrington (Hybrid)- £50,000 + Bonus + Benefits
The Role
You'll sit within a cross-functional delivery team, working closely with Engineers, Product, and Design to ensure quality is built into everything from day one. This is not a "test at the end" role, you'll shape how quality is approached across the full lifecycle, influencing design, delivery, and production outcomes.
The Opportunity
This is a role where you'll drive a quality-first mindset, embedding best practices, improving how the team works, and ensuring releases are both fast and reliable. You'll help move quality earlier into the process (shift-left), while also using real production insights to improve decisions (observability-led quality).
There's strong scope to influence how QA operates within the team, from testing strategy through to continuous improvement.
What You'll Be Doing
- Driving QA strategy and best practices within an Agile delivery team
- Ensuring tests are applied at the right level (unit, integration, end-to-end) for effective coverage and risk mitigation
- Embedding shift-left testing, ensuring quality is considered early in design and development
- Leading exploratory testing to uncover issues real users might experience
- Using monitoring, metrics, and logs to drive observability-led quality and improve production outcomes
- Identifying risks early and helping the team make informed decisions
- Improving QA processes, standards, and ways of working across the team
- Mentoring QA colleagues and working closely with engineers to build a culture of quality
- Supporting automation strategies and ensuring the right tests are prioritised
What You Bring
- Strong experience in modern QA practices including shift-left, exploratory testing, and Agile delivery
- Experience working across API testing, SQL, and testability practices
- A solid understanding of the testing pyramid and risk-based quality approaches
- Experience using data, metrics, and observability to improve quality outcomes
- A proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and team collaboration
- Ability to balance speed, risk, and quality to support confident releases
The Benefits:
As well as working within a supportive team you'll have these perks available, and much more:
- Salary £50,000
- Hybrid working
- Enhanced company pension
- Company bonus scheme
