Senior QA Engineer

At Vix Technology, we power the journeys of millions of people around the world. From smart ticketing and fare collection to high-integrity, transaction-heavy transport systems, our technology keeps cities moving. Now, we’re building something new. We’re launching a brand-new QA engineering team in the heart of Manchester — and we’re looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to help shape it from the ground up.

This isn’t a maintenance QA role. This is about leadership, strategy, and influence. You’ll define and drive product-wide and solution-wide quality strategy. You’ll lead automation architecture, embed shift-left testing practices, strengthen CI/CD quality gates, and ensure our solutions perform flawlessly from feature verification through to integration, acceptance, performance and production testing.

You’ll work across Agile delivery teams, collaborating with engineers, product owners, CloudOps and customers to deliver robust, resilient systems that operate in complex, real-world environments. You’ll mentor and elevate other QA engineers, build scalable automation frameworks, introduce AI-enabled capabilities, and play a key role in shaping a high-performing quality culture.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in complexity, understands risk, thinks strategically about quality, and wants to influence how modern QA is done — not just execute test cases. If you’re passionate about automation, architecture, continuous improvement, and building something meaningful in a fast-evolving engineering environment — this is your opportunity.

Join Vix in Manchester. Help us build the future of intelligent transport technology. And make the connection.

• 4+ years’ experience in software quality assurance within complex, Agile development environments.
