Job Description

At Zoopla we want to help everyone make intelligent home buying decisions. We are building a team that will have the once in a career opportunity to re-imagine our industry. The interesting stuff... * You're a Senior Quality Engineer, who is excited by the challenge of testing software at scale and has a solid track record working as part of a team, shipping software at a high quality. Preventing defects over curing them, you're confident, and happy to lead your cross-functional team in quality principles, from theory through to practical solutions. * You know what could/should be automated and what would be better tested by a human. * Experienced with 'technical testing', using tools such as Dev Tools, Proxies, Postman/SoapUI, cURL, JQ, Bug Magnet etc * Inquisitive by nature, you have a desire to get stuck-in with testing at all stages of your product's lifecycle, from investigating and discussing initial ideas, right through to discussing pragmatic and scalable automated regression checking solutions. * Importantly, if you're looking for a senior role with us, you will have achieved many of the things above while also teaching others, influencing your team and organisation, and maybe even sharing your journey and knowledge publicly. Why Zoopla... * We're serious about tech but we don't take ourselves too seriously. * We are spiritually agile, not religiously agile. * We strongly believe in the value of good design. We believe it is a primary differentiator in an increasingly crowded marketplace. * We believe in the value of data. We run a team that is data informed. We think being data-driven is soulless and dangerous. Clean, confident, clear data combined with the insights of the team is what drives our decisions. * We want to build small, collaborative, cross-functional teams that push each other to create elegant, simple solutions to difficult customer problems. * No matter what the role we want everyone to be obsessed with getting inside the minds of our customers.
