TEAM • Permanent • Remote (Birmingham, West Midlands, England, United Kingdom) • £62k / year • 23h ago

Great software quality is built into every decision, not checked at the end. As a Senior QA Engineer, you’ll take ownership of quality within fast-paced Scrum teams, shaping how software is tested, automated and delivered while helping create resilient, scalable and secure platforms.

You’ll have the autonomy to influence test strategy across the full development lifecycle, working closely with developers, product owners and senior quality specialists. With hybrid working, a strong benefits package and the opportunity to champion modern automation practices, this is a role where your technical expertise can have a genuine impact.

What’s in it for you

£62,000 salary plus a 10% bonus.
Hybrid working with just 2 days per week in the Birmingham office and 3 days working from home.
Strong pension package alongside a wider range of employee benefits.
Family discounts and additional benefits.
The opportunity to influence quality strategy and modern automation practices across the development lifecycle.
A supportive environment focused on technical autonomy, knowledge sharing and professional development.

Your responsibilities as Senior QA Engineer

Own test strategy and planning within a cross-functional Scrum team, ensuring strong coverage including edge cases.
Design, maintain and expand automated testing frameworks using tools such as Playwright, Selenium, JUnit and TestNG.
Embed automated regression testing into CI/CD pipelines to support reliable, continuous software delivery.
Deliver performance and load testing using tools such as JMeter or Gatling while incorporating security, usability and accessibility considerations.
Support and mentor colleagues, promoting shared ownership of software quality and effective testing practices.
Manage defect tracking, test data and testing environments while investigating complex failures to identify root causes.

What we’re looking for in a Senior QA Engineer

Strong background in software testing, QA strategy and test automation.
Hands-on experience writing automation scripts using Python, Java or JavaScript with frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, JUnit or TestNG.
Good knowledge of CI/CD, build automation and integrating automated testing into active development pipelines.
Experience coaching colleagues, investigating complex technical failures and influencing quality-focused engineering practices.
Knowledge of performance testing, security testing or WCAG accessibility standards would be advantageous.

Working hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday. Hybrid working with 2 days per week in the Birmingham office and 3 days working from home.

Ready to take ownership of software quality and influence how modern platforms are built and delivered? Apply today for the Senior QA Engineer position.
