Description

Are you passionate about building high-quality software through automation and performance testing?


Do you enjoy collaborating across teams to improve product quality, drive continuous improvement, and deliver reliable solutions at scale?


About Our Team


Our global team support products education electronic health records that introduce students to digital charting and prepare them to document care in today’s modern clinical environment. We have a very stable product that we’ve worked to get to and strive to maintain. Our team values trust, respect, collaboration, agility, and quality.


About The Role


As a QA Test Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and executing automated and performance testing to support the delivery of high-quality software products and services. You will work closely with Product Management, Engineering, Operations, and other stakeholders to ensure solutions meet requirements, quality standards, and business objectives while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives across the organization.


Responsibilities


  • Develop and execute automated and performance testing for assigned projects to successfully and consistently enable delivery of high-quality software products and services on time, on budget, and to specification.
  • Interact with Product Management, Project Management, Engineering, and Operations teams to plan testing for delivery of products and enhancements and to assure products meet product requirements and quality standards.
  • Work with QA/Testing staff, project managers, technical leads, and subject matter experts to plan and execute automated and performance tests.
  • Report issues and results, researching and identifying root causes as appropriate, documenting accordingly.
  • Research available tools and participate in initiatives to implement those that will cost-effectively enhance testing capabilities and product quality.

Research and identify root causes of performance issues in partnership with architects, developers, and network and system engineers.


  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and implementation of best practices.
  • Work across teams to enhance quality assurance/testing and help to develop/execute performance and automation testing throughout the business as appropriate.

Requirements


  • 3+ years’ experience in Quality Engineering, Software Testing or a similar technical testing role.
  • Strong hands-on experience with test automation, with a focus on automated rather than manual testing.
  • Proven experience testing backend applications and services.
  • Solid experience with API and integration testing, including automated API-level testing.
  • Experience designing and executing end-to-end automated tests.
  • Good programming or scripting skills. Java is preferred, although experience with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C# or PHP is also suitable, provided you’re comfortable learning Java.
  • Experience working with test automation frameworks. Playwright would be advantageous, but experience with tools such as Cucumber or other automation frameworks is also welcomed.
  • Comfortable using, or enthusiastic about adopting, AI and agentic tools as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow.

At AJ Bell, we believe investing should feel good. For our customers, that means being able to rely on technology that is secure, resilient and easy to use when they're managing their financial futures.

As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you'll play a key role in making that confidence possible. You'll test the applications, processes and integrations behind our customer experience, helping us deliver software that works as it should and continues to perform as our products evolve.

You'll work across UI, API, back-office workflows, third-party systems and the integrations between them, including end-to-end testing. You'll combine hands-on testing expertise with an automation-first approach, helping development teams identify risks early and deliver resilient, performant solutions.

You'll also have an important role within the testing team, coaching and supporting other testers, reviewing their work and helping the Team Lead balance workloads and priorities.

This is an opportunity to work on products that will help shape how people invest for their future financial wellbeing. You'll be part of a focused application development team where success is measured not just by the features we deliver, but by the value and quality we create for our customers.

  • Use your testing expertise to influence how solutions are developed and delivered, helping teams achieve the best possible outcome for customers.

  • Raise defects promptly, providing clear and sufficient detail to support investigation and resolution.
  • Support User Acceptance Testing and releases into Production.
  • Apply an understanding of Agile working practices throughout delivery.

Build testing into delivery

  • Work alongside Technical Leads and other Testers from project inception to create and implement appropriate test automation approaches.

  • Carry out exploratory testing within an Agile development environment.
  • Develop test tools and extend test frameworks and test environments.
  • Support new research projects and proof of concepts, helping us explore better ways to build and test our products.

Support and develop other testers

  • Coach and support testers within the team, sharing knowledge and helping others develop their skills.
  • Review testing work through peer reviews and provide constructive feedback.
  • Delegate work and set tasks, targets and objectives when required.
  • Act as a first point of contact for testers who need technical or testing support.
  • Work closely with the Team Lead to balance workflow, priorities and delivery.

Help us keep improving

  • Bring your knowledge and experience to discussions about how we build and test software.
  • Identify opportunities to improve testing approaches, automation, tooling and environments.
  • Work collaboratively with developers, Technical Leads and other stakeholders to identify risks and solve problems early.
  • Contribute to a culture where quality is everyone's responsibility.

About you:

We don't expect you to have experience with every technology we use. What's important is that you're an experienced tester with strong technical foundations, a desire to keep learning and the confidence to share your expertise with others.

Experience

  • Experience of working as a Senior Tester and delegating work to other testers within the team and being a first point of contact if they require help or assistance.

  • A good understanding of test automation concepts and their practical application.
  • An automation-first approach to test execution where appropriate.
  • Experience with software testing tools such as JIRA and Xray.
