£50-70k + 10% Bonus + Benefits
Please note my client cannot offer VISA Sponsorship for these roles.
Your new company
I've been retained exclusively to recruit a new product team for a tech-first business that specialise managing investments for hedge funds, VC enterprises and private equity firms. They are insistent on working at the sharp edge of technology and will be bringing in 10-15 new tech hires over the next quarter. We are currently looking for Software / QA Engineers.You will be working hybrid in this role, with 3 days from their newly refurbished offices in Central Bournemouth, on commuting lines to London and 2 minutes from the Beach.
Your new role
This is an amazing opportunity and the ideal time to be getting involved at a Fintech company where software is a profit maker, not a cost. The VP of Dev does not compromise on equipment and tools to ensure they are ahead of the game.
You'll be joining a Scrum team of 8-10 people as they enter their next phase of expansion due to additional project work and strategic ambition from their new CEO. You'll work on supporting and testing their enterprise cloud-based platform which is a real differentiator in the market. The roles are Senior and will all entail a strong element of hands-on.
The mandate to scale is clear, but only with the right people. You'll be joining a really high-level team in a flat structure where your voice will be heard. Software QA Engineers here are involved in the full testing lifecycle.
What you'll need to succeed
You must have 5 years+ commercial experience in a Manual Software QA role working in a product-oriented organisation.
You will have worked on the development or testing of web applications using REST API's and SQL Queries. The Development stack you've progressed from is agnostic (.Net / Java etc) but you must have experience with MS TFS, Jira, Confluence, TeamCity and GitLab.
An Agile mindset is absolutely crucial, with the ability to understand the requirements and translate them into acceptance criteria i.e. to be a contributor in the development and testing process rather expecting the list of test cases to go through.
You'll have deep knowledge of creating tests within framework, and capturing their output via JSON. Knowledge of Postman and Swagger is a bonus.
We are looking for Financial Services domain knowledge, or an interest and ability to understand this sector quickly.
What you'll get in return
Working here you'll join a newly-formed team working on an enterprise level solution. There is great flexibility in working hours and it's a hybrid role with some home working available. They are offering a London salary on the South Coast which is rare to find and they will offer financial support to relocate for the role, and for any training / development you are interested in to further your career.
On top of this there are some more fixed perks (generous holiday, private healthcare, access to flexible benefits).
