📋 Description

• Shift quality left, properly. Help teams catch defects at the cheapest possible moment: during refinement and task definition, before a line of code exists. Join story-writing and design discussions, ask the questions that surface ambiguity and edge cases early, and coach teams to build testability and clear acceptance criteria into the work from the start. • Lift the whole testing pyramid. Work with developers across the full range, from unit and integration tests through to end-to-end and system testing. Help them write tests that are fast, deterministic, and worth trusting; rebalance suites that are top-heavy or flaky; and establish what to test at each level, and why. • Make pipelines fast and cheap. Treat CI as a product. Profile and optimise pipeline definitions, cut wasted compute, parallelise and shard test execution sensibly, and shorten feedback loops so teams get a trustworthy signal in minutes, not hours. Help them see the time and cost their pipelines actually incur, and bring both down. • Bring AI into the quality toolkit. Help teams get real value from AI-assisted development: generating and maintaining tests, accelerating code review, and shortening feedback loops, while keeping a critical eye on what these tools produce so quality and trust do not slip. You champion these tools and show teams how to use them well. • Mentor and enable. This is the heart of the job. Pair with engineers, run workshops, review test code and pipeline changes, and leave behind teams that hold a higher quality bar on their own after you have gone. Success is measured by how much better the team is, not by how much you personally produced. • Own quality strategy across the SDLC. Assess where a team or programme stands, agree a pragmatic plan to improve it, and drive that plan through delivery: test strategy, environments and test data, release confidence, and the metrics that tell everyone whether quality is moving in the right direction.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep, hands-on quality experience across the entire testing pyramid, from unit tests to end-to-end and system testing, with well-reasoned opinions about what belongs where. • A real engineer's grasp of code. You read and write it comfortably, review pull requests on their merits, and earn the respect of senior developers because you speak their language. • Genuine fluency in Agile delivery and what shift-left means in practice: influencing quality at definition and design time, not only at the test phase. • Solid CI expertise. You can pick apart a pipeline, find the waste, and make it faster, cheaper, and more reliable. Tooling varies across our clients, so we care that you understand the principles; experience with the likes of GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or CircleCI is the kind of thing we mean. • Comfort across the testing toolbox, whatever the stack. We work tool-agnostically and value transferable depth over any specific badge. To give a sense of the territory: Playwright, Cypress or Selenium for end-to-end; Jest, Vitest, JUnit or pytest at the unit and integration level; k6, JMeter or Gatling for performance. • A pro-AI outlook, backed by hands-on experience. You use AI-assisted development tools in your own work, understand where they help and where they bite, and can coach a team to adopt them without lowering the quality bar. • Outstanding mentoring and communication skills. You can teach, persuade, and shift a team's habits without holding formal authority over anyone, and you can do it with client stakeholders as readily as with engineers. • The seniority to walk into an unfamiliar team, quickly read where their quality really stands, and earn trust fast.
