  • Implementing best practices and QA processes, as well as exploring how automation can be used in the business.
  • Supporting growth of QA across the business. They are heavily investing in QA, and see this as moving into a Test Lead role soon.
  • Importantly… you’ll be able to problem solve on multiple projects whilst gaining great experience.

What can they offer you?

  • Salary of up to £62,000 + Annual bonus scheme.
  • Access to a learning and development platform to further your training and qualifications.
  • 25 days of annual leave.
