The Role:

We are growing our engineering team and looking for a QA Engineer to join us as our first dedicated quality assurance hire. This is an exciting opportunity to shape how we approach quality from the ground up - building processes, frameworks, and a culture of quality acros a small, collaborative team.

You’ll work closely with a team of developers as well as colleagues across the business to test a product built on C# and React, covering everything from API and backend logic through to UI and end-to-end workflows. You’ll be comfortable writing automated tests and equally at ease writing clear, thorough manual test scripts.

Responsibilities

Test Automation

• Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for C# backend services (unit, integration, and API-level tests)
• Build and maintain automated UI and end-to-end tests for our React frontend
• Select and champion appropriate testing frameworks and tooling
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery
• Maintain test coverage metrics and report on quality trends over time

Manual Testing

• Write and maintain clear, structured manual test scripts and test plans
• Execute manual exploratory and regression testing across features and releases
• Document defects clearly with reproducible steps, expected vs actual outcomes, and supporting evidence
• Collaborate with developers and product stakeholders on acceptance criteria and definition of done

Quality & Process

• Introduce and embed QA best practices across the engineering team
• Participate in sprint planning, refinement, and review sessions as the QA voice
• Work with developers to shift testing left – catching issues earlier in the development cycle
• Maintain and improve test documentation, including regression libraries and test data management

Qualifications

Technical:

• 3-5 years of QA experience in a software development environment 
• Solid experience writing automated tests for C# applications
• Experience with React or other modern JavaScript frameworks and testing them

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines including GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps

QA practice:

• Strong ability to write detailed, maintainable manual test scripts and test plans
• Solid understanding of testing types: functional, regression, exploratory, UI, integration, and smoke testing
• Experience tracking and managing defects using a bug tracking tool
• Methodical approach to root cause analysis and issue documentation

Soft skills:

• Clear and concise communicator - able to articulate quality risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Self-starter who can operate effectively with a high degree of autonomy
• Collaborative team player who enjoys working closely with developers
• Detail-oriented, with a passion for quality and a drive to improve processes
• Curious and committed to continuous learning – keeps up to date with emerging QA practices, testing tools, automation approaches and product technologies, and uses this learning to improve testing quality and ways of working
