The opportunity
You're someone who's curious, pragmatic, and comfortable working in fast-moving environments. You know when to script and when to explore. You're not afraid of APIs, logs, or digging into the backend to understand what's really happening.
But beyond the technical—you're a strong communicator. You can explain issues clearly, present testing outcomes with confidence, and hold your own in client conversations. You're always looking for better ways to do things, whether that's improving a process, trying a new tool, or bringing fresh thinking to how we approach quality. You're a continuous learner who takes ownership of your own growth.

Work in a shift-left approach—participating in refinements, planning, and requirements analysis to catch issues early

Contribute to process improvements, and ways of working within your scrum team

Experience working within agile scrum environments—sprints, standups, refinements, and retros
Familiarity with CI/CD tooling and practices
Excellent communication skills —written and verbal—with the confidence to engage directly with clients and stakeholders
