Job Description:

Looking to start your career in Software Engineering?

I’m hiring aJunior Test Software Engineerfor an established UK software company building finance and procurement platforms used by major public-sector organisations.

This isn’t a traditional manual testing role. You’ll bewriting code in Java, building automated tests and working across APIs, databases and web applications within a real production engineering environment.

Key focus:

  • Build automated tests usingJava & Selenium
  • Test APIs usingRest Assured
  • Work withSQL, Cucumber, JUnit/TestNG & Git
  • Investigate failures and work closely with developers
  • Help maintain and improve existing automation frameworks

This would suit someone early in their career with aComputer Science / Software Engineering backgroundwho enjoys coding, problem solving and wants strong hands-on engineering experience.

You don’t need to know every testing framework already — strongJava fundamentals, OOP knowledge and a willingness to learnare much more important.
