Job Description:

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office at least 2/3 days a week.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Senior Software Developer in Test

As a Senior Software Developer in Test, you’ll help us build a QA practice that drives the quality of in-house developed applications and commercial package configurations. You’ll apply your technical knowledge and experience to produce clear, consistent, functional test suites and scripts, ensuring quality is validated for every change to code.

You’ll receive a competitive salary, a performance-related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical, and mental wellbeing.

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

• Writing test scripts/feature files using Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) formats
• Defect creation and management through the Kanban lifecycle
• Supporting in squad meetings for refinements, retrospectives, and demos
• Supporting the Product Owner and Business Analyst to understand the requirements
• Providing technical leadership and guidance to other QA team members

What you’ll bring to the role

You’ll bring a strong technical background with hands-on experience in automation testing and a good understanding of the full software development life cycle. You’ll also have:

• Extensive experience using Linux/Unix
• Experience testing APIs
• Proficiency in MySQL or PostgreSQL (including querying and creating test data)
• Excellent working knowledge of source control systems such as Git
• Use of BDD using Cucumber and Gherkin
