Form of work
SalaryWe have a fantastic opportunity for two Test Engineers to join the IT team. We’re looking for one person with Salesforce and Provar experience, to test and support the Trust’s Membership and Donation Services system, and one person with Selenium experience to test and support our public-facing websites, among them nationaltrust.org.uk, our Shop and our Holidays sites.
Our Membership and Donation Services system is based on the market-leading Salesforce platform (Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud and Marketing Intelligence) and includes several other third-party or Salesforce integrated applications, while our public-facing sites are built upon the Bloomreach platform primarily, using a REACT codebase and integrations with other in-house applications. These systems and sites support engagement with our Members and Supporters which is core to what we do as an organisation. This is an opportunity to step into a Test Engineer role to build and execute comprehensive, reliable test suites for maintenance of the platform and delivery of new features.
Please note that no visa sponsorship can be provided.
What it's like to work here
IT is a busy department and technology plays a key part in enabling the Trust to deliver on its strategic objectives. We want to stay ahead of the curve so that we can continue to meet the needs of our staff, properties, members and visitors. Working collaboratively with people across all areas of the organisation, we focus on delivering the Trust’s priority information services at pace.
Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you are based at other times. You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.
What you'll be doing
In this role, you’ll be working within a team, involved in testing and quality engineering for projects, ongoing enhancements, maintenance and bug fixes, ensuring that these meet the needs of our organisation. The role is varied, with stimulating challenges and lots of opportunity to learn and grow as well as use your previous experience of testing Salesforce or responsive, public-facing platforms.
As a strong team player, you’ll form close relationships with colleagues, stakeholders and third-party team members. You’ll adopt the ‘shift testing left’ principle and work collaboratively with the Delivery Team and Product Owner to help assess quality criteria throughout the delivery process. You will define and execute tests, both manual and automated, against acceptance criteria and report on the results. You will ensure that both the functional and non-functional attributes of any epic, feature or user story have been validated, along with the end-to-end user journey. You will uphold automated testing best practice, creating re-usable automated tests that are easy to maintain and usable by other testers.
You’ll also take an active role in the wider Test community, joining the Testing Community of Practice. As part of this, you will bring your industry knowledge to help shape, improve and promote our testing approaches at the Trust by actively collaborating with colleagues.
