An innovative tech:for:good company in the UK are on a mission to grow their engineering hub in Edinburgh, as they look to bring in an experienced Senior SDIT to their hybrid team. Theyve been helping hundreds of thousands of people live more independently : and now theyre investing big in automation, AI, and cloud tech to take things to the next level.
Theyve got offices in London, Bristol, and now Edinburgh : where theyre building out a team of forward:thinking Software Engineers in Test. These roles are part of a wider shift from manual to automated testing, and its a brilliant time to join as they ramp things up.
Whats the job?
Youll be leading testing efforts across one or more product teams : helping define strategy, guiding best practices, and mentoring more junior SETs. Youll build out automated test frameworks from the ground up (think Playwright, Cypress, or similar), and work across the full stack : frontend, backend, and APIs.
Theres also a strong DevOps and observability culture, so youll get stuck into tooling like Dynatrace, Splunk, and OpsGenie, and help improve reliability and performance from the ground up.
This is a role for someone who wants to own the quality space and shape how testing is done across a growing engineering function.
Youll bring:
* Strong experience with modern test automation tools (Playwright, Cypress)
* API testing know:how (Postman, SOAPUi, etc.)
* A solid understanding of CI/CD and DevOps practices
* A product:first mindset with a real focus on quality and user experience
* Mentoring or leadership experience
* Confidence influencing testing strategy and tooling decisions
* Strong communication : youll be working cross:functionally every day
Bonus points for:
* Programming skills (JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or similar)
* Previous experience in a scale:up or product:driven company
* A passion for tech that makes a difference
Youll be in the Edinburgh office 3 days a week (flexible which ones), and youll travel to Bristol or London every couple of months to catch up with the wider crew : fully paid, of course.
In return, theyre able to offer a salary of between GBP55:70k, as well as a strong benefits package which includes a non:contributory pension of 15, 28 days holiday, personal development and learning support, and more
This is a genuinely rewarding opportunity with a growing organisation thats all about making a difference with technology. Youll be part of a team that values innovation, inclusion, and customer:first thinking.
