This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by delivering seamless experiences that strengthen customer trust and satisfaction.

We have an exciting opportunity for a SeniorQuality Engineer to join our Technology team. In this role, you will be instrumental in embedding quality engineering practices across the software delivery lifecycle, ensuring our applications perform at the highest standards of reliability, scalability and customer experience.

• Mentor and uplift engineers' automation and testing capability, reviewing automation code and setting the quality bar for the team
• Lead quality initiatives across multiple teams, partnering with Tech Leads, Product Managers and Engineering Leadership to identify systemic quality risks and drive their resolution
• Drive root cause analysis on recurring or high-impact defects, translating findings into process or framework improvements
• Establish and evolve test data strategy, environment strategy and observability practices (e.g. Splunk, Datadog) to support production confidence
• Represent quality engineering in architecture and design discussions, ensuring testability is designed in, not bolted on
• Strong experience with test case management (e.g. Jira Zephyr) and cross-browser testing tools such as LambdaTest or BrowserStack
