Company: Areti Group | B Corp™
Location: Newcastle upon Tyne
Job Description:
Do you build automation suites the rest of the team relies on? We need someone who’s at their best with Java, Selenium and Cucumber in a CI pipeline.
We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer for a major UK public sector programme. The services you test are used by millions of people every day, so your work will have a real impact.
The essentials
- Location: Mostly remote, with travel to Newcastle at most once per sprint
What you’ll be doing
- Building and scaling large end-to-end automation suites with Selenium WebDriver and Java
- Automating API tests with REST Assured and exploring APIs with Postman
- Validating data at source with SQL and database testing
- Running automated regression in Jenkins or GitLab CI pipelines, so problems are caught before they ship
- Raising code quality with SonarQube and dependency and security scanning
- Testing services hosted on AWS and Azure
You’ll stand out if you have
- Proven commercial experience with Java, Selenium and Cucumber. This is the core of the role
- Experience making automated tests part of CI/CD, not something run separately afterwards
- Public sector or other regulated-environment experience (a bonus, not essential)
- Very little travel, so a good work/life balance
- Work on services that people across the UK depend on
- BPSS only, so no long security clearance wait before you start
This role is moving fast. If it sounds like you, don’t wait.
