Are you an experienced Quality Engineer who thrives in Agile environments and is ready to take ownership of quality across the software development lifecycle?

We're working with a large-scale businesses sector programme, helping to grow a collaborative, engineering-led team at the forefront of digital transformation.

What You'll Do:
Be part of a collaborative Agile delivery team, working alongside engineers, BAs, and product stakeholders.
Own the quality assurance process - from understanding requirements through to delivery.
Build and maintain automated test frameworks using modern BDD approaches (Cucumber, Gherkin).

Ensure test coverage across all stages of the SDLC in a Java-based, cloud-hosted environment.

What We're Looking For:
5+ years' experience in testing or quality engineering roles.

API testing (Postman or similar)
Version control systems (e.g., Git)
Strong understanding of Agile delivery and test-first principles.
Ability to write and implement BDD scenarios (Gherkin) and collaborate with developers on automation.
Familiarity with Java environments - you don't need to code, but you'll be working closely with it.
Excellent communication skills and a proactive, team-oriented mindset.

Why This Role?
A genuine opportunity to shape how testing and quality are embedded in engineering delivery.
Work with modern technologies and practices in an enterprise-level transformation environment.
Hybrid working with flexible arrangements and a supportive, knowledge-sharing team culture.
