Job Specifications

We’re hiring a QA Tester

This one’s for someone who genuinely cares about software quality not just ticking test cases, but shaping how quality is built into a product from day one. The role is Hybrid based in Wakefield (WF4) so you MUST be able to travel to site 3-days a week.

This is a hands-on QA role. You’ll own the testing strategy end-to-end: exploratory testing, automation (UI + API), release confidence, and setting the standard for how quality shows up across the business.

What you’ll be doing:

Designing and executing robust test plans for new features
Building and maintaining automated test suites
Getting stuck into exploratory testing to uncover edge cases
Defining quality gates and release criteria
Tracking quality metrics and test coverage
Working side-by-side with engineers to reproduce, fix, and verify bugs
Championing best-practice testing across the team

What we’re looking for:

3+ years in QA / software testing
Strong automation experience (Playwright, Cypress, or similar)
API testing experience (Postman / REST)
CI/CD and test integration knowledge
SQL for data validation
A methodical, detail-driven testing mindset

Your growth in the first 6–12 months:

Build out the automation framework
Embed QA into CI/CD pipelines
Own quality gates and release confidence
Grow into Head of QA as the team scales
Shape the long-term quality culture and hiring standards

Why this role stands out:

You’ll define the QA strategy and standards from scratch
Direct influence on product quality and releases
Close collaboration with engineering and founders
A clear path to Head of QA / Quality Engineering

Bonus points if you’ve:

Worked with TypeScript / JavaScript
Done performance or load testing
Built B2B SaaS products
Thrived in early-stage or fast-growth environments

£30k - £40k plus package
