An exciting opportunity to join the Engineering team in our scale-up organisation as a Software Test Engineer. We have been very successful in delivering our product to our customers so far but want your help to level up and leap forwards.

This role is based predominantly at home and in London. We speak English as our main language and welcome candidates equally from the UK.

Sorry, we are not able to hire outside of the UK at this time.

Requirements

You will be focussed on ensuring our software corresponds to the specifications and highest quality standards of software development and deployment.

Whilst the primary focus is on automated and manual testing of our Canvas, React, Node.js and PostgreSQL/Mongo stack, you also could get involved in testing of infrastructure as code deployments and general deployment activities and integrations testing.

• Scoping and build automated and manual tests to ensure developer code is fit for purpose and any bugs or issues are removed before go-live.
• Carry out different types of testing: functional testing (smoke, sanity, regression and usability), acceptance testing, integration testing, load testing, security testing, database testing, and non-functional testing (including for performance and security).
• Review new software requirements and prepare and update testing scenarios.
• Liaise with the team through daily stand-ups to ensure quality throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Adapt testing techniques and coverage to a rapidly evolving product.

Experience

You have a passion and commitment to automate as much as possible and have demonstrable experience in scripting tests utilising JavaScript or TypeScript frameworks and Cypress in particular. Ideally with commercial experience in testing Enterprise-ready secure applications. You will be familiar with using GitHub for pulling specific branches for QA purposes.

In addition, it would be great if you can demonstrate experience with following technologies.

• Awareness of HTML5 Canvas technology for browser graphics
• Testing REST Services via code or relevant apps (e.g. Postman)
• Techniques for multiple browser testing of React based UIs
• Understanding integrations with CI/CD Automated testing and GitHub Actions
• Issue tracking management and resolution using Shortcut/Jira or similar

 As a team we value best practises, performance optimisations and integrate security by design.

Any experience relating to Legal tech or FinTech would be a welcome bonus.

Education

Ideally degree educated, yet we value approach and methodology more. If you can test to current standards and best practices in a secure and collaborative way, would invite you to apply.

Benefits

• Competitive salary 

• Opportunity to join a dynamic, early-stage start-up in our mission to become the critical infrastructure for transactions of the future. 
• High impact work that really matters - success in this role will drive our company forwards and have an outsized impact on our business and our clients 
• Flexible working – we are remote-first with a bright central London office for those who want to use it. 
• Learning & development budgets and support 
• Regular socials and events for the whole company
