About the role
As a Contract Test Engineer within the Digital Services CoE Test Engineering (QE) Organisation, you will work on a core product project team alongside developers, designers, and product owners to ensure we deliver sustainable, high-quality product features. We are looking for an inventive and creative Test Engineer who is well-versed in exploratory testing and automation and finds value in driving story development through user-centric examples.
We recognise that quality must happen at every stage of the product development process and look to our testers to champion this ethos and help strengthen our quality culture. We care deeply about both the quality of what we’re making and the quality of life of our team.
Some of the things you will do:
• Work closely with the cross-functional members of the core product project team to define acceptance criteria and definition of done for both story, features and release level.
• Collaborate with developers to ensure acceptance criteria are met through robust acceptance testing, where possible, automated using the Given/When/Then format.
• Conduct exploratory testing for individual stories and release candidates using charters and appropriate techniques to discover potential problems.
• Help measure how closely the product meets our quality goals and highlight risks.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by developing team guidelines, playbooks, and knowledge sharing to encourage better practices and testability and increase test coverage whilst reducing feedback loop times.
Must have:
• Proven experience in full-stack web and platform (BE) testing.
• Experience in Non-Functional and Functional Test Approaches and Techniques
• Strong programming skills and demonstrable experience automating acceptance criteria (preferably Python and JavaScript).
• Experience with web front-end and back-end testing frameworks.
• Attention to detail, proactive and excellent communication skills with technical and nontechnical team members.
• Demonstrable experience working within an Agile SDLC and applying holistic test practices iteratively throughout the product development cycle.
Nice to have:
• Experience with ATDD or BDD.
• Knowledge of Testing Quadrants and Holistic Testing Model
• Experience with DevOps tools for Continuous Integration (CI) testing.
• A desire to keep learning and developing your skills
