Test Automation & Release Engineer
SKILLS
FULL DESCRIPTION
Summary
We’re working with a highly respected and fast-growing organisation that’s on a mission to modernise and digitise their systems – and they need a hands-on, forward-thinking Automation Test Engineer to help lead that transformation.
This isn’t your typical QA role.
The team are not looking for someone who’s spent years embedded in a large QA team, simply contributing to a framework built by others. We’re looking for someone capable of working independently – someone who can design and implement an automation framework from scratch and drive quality across both the frontend and backend.
- Designing, building, and maintaining a brand-new automation framework (ideally in Playwright, but open to others).
- Automating tests across Front-End UIs and Back-End APIs – this dual experience is essential.
- Collaborating with developers and product teams to embed automation into the SDLC from day one.
- Championing automation-first thinking – we’re not looking for someone who defaults to manual testing.
- Proven experience building automation frameworks from the ground up – not just adding to an existing one.
- Strong experience in automated UI and API testing.
- Solid working knowledge of TypeScript and/or C# – ideally both.
- A strong understanding of modern automation tools – Playwright is top of our list, but we’re open to others if you can make a case.
- A self-starter attitude – you’ll need to work autonomously and make key technical decisions confidently.

- Designing, building, and maintaining a brand-new automation framework (ideally in Playwright, but open to others).

Why join?
- Work with a company that genuinely values quality and innovation.
- Huge autonomy and ownership of the QA/Automation space.
- Flexible working – remote working options.
