Job Description
Full-time and permanent
Hybrid working, with 1 day a week in our central Cambridge office
Are you naturally curious, with a talent for breaking things to ensure they really work?
As a Test Engineer, you’ll join the platform team but rotate between various products, ensuring features are of the highest quality from their inception. You’ll also need an interest in DevOps.
What’s involved?
This is a collaborative role, focused on maintaining and improving the high standard of our product offerings. You’ll work with the entire development team to make improvements and build quality into the product.
You’ll work with platform engineers to identify risks in each release or feature, and adapt test plans accordingly. You’ll also design test strategies for new features where the interface is not obvious.
Who’s the ideal candidate?
To succeed in this role, you’ll need considerable manual testing experience using agile processes. You’ll also need to be an analytical and creative thinker, with some experience of exploratory testing, and defining acceptance tests.
Ideally, you’d also have some knowledge of platform-specific procedures such as running and viewing CI/CD pipelines, deploying code from branch clusters and creating dummy paths and pipelines.
You may also have:
- Experience of testing web applications and/or SDKs
- Data visualization or analysis/software development
- Performance testing
- A basic knowledge of AWS and Pulumi.

Everyone here gets funded professional development time, with up to five days allocated to learning new skills – whether that’s at conferences, training programs or other related courses.
