About the Role
We are seeking a hybrid engineer with a passion for testing, quality, and reliable code. This position is well suited to candidates with a strong background in Python and backend systems, who are keen to concentrate on automated testing and, over time, become involved in core software development.
You will lead the automation of critical test flows, utilising Playwright (Python), Django’s test framework, and contemporary AI tools to design, generate and evolve our test suite. AI is actively used to assist test authoring and maintenance, making this role ideal for those with curiosity or experience in this area.
This role plays a crucial part in scaling automated testing for complex domains such as payments, messaging, authentication and video, helping to enable smaller, more frequent and confident releases.
