Position: Senior QA Engineer

Location: UK Remote - (Occasional Meetings London or Birmingham)

Salary: £40k-£50k

Our Client is a growing proptech business entering an exciting new phase of development, and are looking for a talented Senior QA Engineer to join their digital team. You’ll become part of a collaborative technology function working across multiple product workstreams in a fully remote, UK-based role with occasional in-person meetups.

The primary role of the Quality Assurance Engineers is to ensure teams deliver products that truly meet user needs. You’ll champion quality across the development lifecycle, helping squads remain accountable for the completeness and quality of their output while continuously improving testing practices and processes.

Most of your time will be spent collaborating closely with designers and developers within your squad, alongside hands-on manual testing and supporting the development of automated testing where appropriate.

You should be prepared to travel to London or Birmingham approximately once every 6 weeks for team planning sessions, hackathons, and occasional social events.

Day to Day

  • You’ll join a multi-skilled product squad, working alongside front-end and back-end developers, designers, and product managers.

  • You’ll actively participate in Agile ceremonies, contributing to the delivery of backlog items across two-week sprints. QA Engineers are involved early in product planning and refinement, helping shape requirements and ensure quality is embedded from the outset.

  • Each squad has a strong sense of ownership over its work, and there is a continuous focus on improving engineering maturity and delivery standards.

Required Skills & Experience
  • 5+ years’ experience in a Quality Engineering or Quality Assurance role

  • Strong understanding of Agile development environments and a passion for improving processes and practices

  • Confident communicator, comfortable working with developers, designers, and business stakeholders

  • Experience writing clear acceptance criteria understandable across technical and non-technical teams

  • Experience testing web and mobile applications

  • Strong exploratory testing skills

  • Experience creating and maintaining test plans

  • Interest in learning and exploring new technologies and testing techniques

  • A proactive, inquisitive, and detail-oriented mindset

  • Exposure to a wide range of testing tools across functional, API, and load testing

  • Experience mentoring or supporting junior QA engineers

Additional Desired Skills
  • Experience with Azure DevOps

  • Exposure to test automation tools such as Cypress, BrowserStack, and Postman

  • Experience leading or mentoring within a small QA team

  • Experience using AI tooling to support test design, generation, or execution
