We're partnering exclusively with a globally recognised lifestyle and apparel brand who are on the hunt for a Senior Automation Tester to join their engineering function. Their e-commerce platform operates at serious scale and quality is non-negotiable in everything they deliver.

If you're a QA engineer who can genuinely code and wants to be treated like one, this is the role for you.

Key Skills:

  • Node.js
  • TypeScript / JavaScript
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
  • AWS or other cloud platforms

The Role:

You'll own the automation strategy designing, building and maintaining test suites that span frontend, APIs and third-party integrations. You'll be a trusted voice in the engineering team, not an afterthought, working shoulder to shoulder with frontend, backend and cloud engineers from day one of every sprint.

What's in it for You:

  • Up to £55,000 DOE + bonus
  • Fully remote with flexible working
  • 25 days holiday
  • 2 extra paid days off for sportive events
  • Annual clothing allowance
  • Health cash plan and mental health support
  • 50% staff discount plus wider industry brand discounts
  • Cycle2Work scheme
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Company pension
  • Regular team socials and quarterly away days

Day to Day:

  • Building and maintaining automated test suites across web, API and integration layers
  • Triaging failures and feeding clear findings back to the relevant squads
  • Embedding quality into CI/CD pipelines so nothing dodgy gets through to production
  • Reviewing PRs and holding the team to a high standard
  • Sitting with BAs and Product Owners early to define what good looks like before build begins
  • Digging into production issues using observability tooling and writing regression tests off the back of them
  • Mentoring junior members of the QA team
  • Feeding into sprint ceremonies and helping evolve how QA works at this business

What They're Looking For:

  • Solid hands-on experience in an automation engineering role
  • Strong Node.js and TypeScript/JavaScript skills
  • Confident with REST APIs and GraphQL
  • Cloud experience, AWS preferred but not essential
  • CI/CD and Git as standard
  • Knowledge of MACH principles or observability tools like NewRelic or Datadog would go down well

This isn’t a role you want to miss out on, CVs are being reviewed this week. If this role sounds like your next move, APPLY NOW or email alicia@forwardrole.com
