Overview

Senior QA - 80k This is your chance to join a company in the Real Estate sector, who have created a unique platform for tradespeople and landlords alike to communicate. As the Senior QA all decisions on the testing function will come to you so it is your chance to shape things as you see fit This is one of the latest sectors set to explode into life And with flexible working options You are being brought on board as currently the testing function is outsourced and the idea is to bring that all in house. You will be reporting directly into the head of engineering, so this is a senior role within the engineering team and there is a large amount of autonomy in the role as you will be looked to as a voice of expertise. This will be mostly automation but also expect to get involved in manual testing too. This will be testing things like payments systems, database, booking systems, search algorithms and much more. Goes without saying the growth of the platform is directly linked to the talents of the engineering team, so the work you will be doing to grow and support the wider testing function is extremely important. In terms of tech stack these guys use its mostly python & Django (Django rest framework), as well as React.js, alt.js, node.js and Kubernets, AWS & docker. Ideally I'm looking to speak with people with experience in Python automation , but there is some flexibility on this - for example if you are a senior QA who has helped bring outsourced functions in house but used a different language I'd be keen to hear from you. They've been around a few years now so you aren't joining a company at its infancy, that said it is still the earlier stages. Please don't runaway with the idea that QA and testing has been an afterthought or pushed to the bottom of the list up to this point - there are operational reasons why its been outsourced, but now they have reached the stage where to continue to grow and scale a dedicated in house testing function is essential. Requirements Automation experience (ideally Python) Standard tools such as selenium etc. if you have pytest or pycharm that will be helpful too API testing experience Database testing Nice to have If you have brought a testing function in house from an outsourced team before this will be beneficial but not essential Salary Up to 80k To apply please reply to this advert or send your c.v to Or to speak in more detail please call
