THE ROLE:

Senior Test Engineers act as amplifiers of product quality and are essential in our industry of health tech. You will have a passion for ensuring quality is baked into everything we do, and will embed processes and tools to enable our software developers to move safely at speed.
Your focus, as a Senior Test Engineer, is that you will be responsible for enabling teams, advising on practice, contributing to the set up of new frameworks, suggesting and using tools, exploring our software, and anything else you can think of to ensure the quality and reliability of our software applications.
You will work closely with the development teams and other testers to identify and prioritise your work, and you will contribute to the continuous improvement of our testing processes, test automation suites, and the enabling of testing across the company through a blend of education, tooling and direct contribution.
You will have a balance between broad exploratory testing, procedural testing, and improving our processes so that we are able to reliably automate and improve flow for the most common pathways. You will set standards for testing that will raise the bar for all.
