TXP is growing, and we’re creating a new Senior Quality Engineer role to strengthen quality engineering across our internal platforms and client delivery teams.

Supporting UAT and BAT
Analysing business requirements and defining effective testing strategies
Managing test data, test artefacts, and testing collateral
Collaborating closely with developers, including pair programming
Coaching and mentoring less experienced testers and quality engineers
Working in line with TXP’s technical, service, and quality standards 
What we’re looking for
You’ll be an experienced quality professional who is comfortable operating at senior level while remaining hands‑on and delivery‑focused.
 
Experience we value:

Leading and embedding testing best practice across delivery teams
Defining testing policies, standards, and guidelines at enterprise scale
Strong experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks
Delivery within iterative/agile environments
Working with Continuous Integration and CI/CD pipelines
Managing priorities to meet delivery deadlines 
Technical skills:

Highly organised with strong attention to detail
Confident juggling multiple priorities
Positive, driven, and pragmatic in your approach
Open to travelling to customer sites when required to engage and present
