You will work closely alongside the other engineers and the product team to implement effective test solutions that ensure our apps do what they should to serve our customers in the best way. You should be comfortable working across stacks with an eagerness to learn new technologies as required. Quality assurance begins before a single line of code is written – you will look to plug requirements gaps during the refinement process and consider ‘what if’ scenarios using a risk-based approach.You’ll be part of a cross-functional delivery team that includes Product Owners, Developers, Designers, and Quality Assurance specialists amongst others. The scope of your work means that you’ll ship new code, multiple times per day. We’re using modern technologies to deliver more than 190 microservices that combine to form a cloud-native platform that we’re all proud of, and that our customers love. It’s a growing team family, and we need more people (like you) who will not only help us deliver life-changing features for our consumers, but innovate in Hack Days, share your struggles and successes at Connect (our regular Lightning Talks platform), and celebrate the wins in a Tech Social. These are just a few things that make Our Client a great place to work.You’d be joining an agile delivery team that uses Scrum or Kanban and would be part of an organisation originally built upon the Scaled Agile Framework; nowadays, each delivery team continues to refine their processes for an optimum release cadence. You’ll find it easiest to understand the way we work if you’ve worked using agile delivery methods in the past, but it’s not mandatory.Qualifications/Experience:
