[Hiring] QA/Test Engineer @CloudMargin

Role Description

As a Test Engineer, you will work within an Agile/Scrum team to contribute to the delivery of CloudMargin applications. You will be responsible for quality within the development team, whilst also contributing to a wider Test Strategy within the CloudMargin Test community. Your impact is measured on real product quality outcomes: iterations that are safe to release and a quality signal the team can trust.

• Set the best testing strategy for each project and build the automated tooling associated with it, primarily using Playwright.
• Help shape how we use AI responsibly in testing over time.
• This is a hands-on testing role: setting test strategy, writing clear test plans, and building and maintaining reliable automation alongside thorough exploratory and manual testing.

Qualifications

• 2+ years or equivalent experience in software testing / QA
• 2+ years or equivalent experience with web technologies
• Hands-on E2E automation experience with Playwright, Cypress or a similar modern framework
• Experience testing APIs and backend services (Postman, REST clients or similar)
• Exposure to AI-assisted development or testing tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Playwright MCP or equivalent) (desirable)
• Experience in a regulated or financial-services environment (desirable)

Requirements

• Own quality within your Scrum team, responsible for the testing strategy, the automation behind it, and the judgement call that each iteration is safe to release.
• Set the testing requirements for projects delivered by your Scrum team, and contribute to the wider CloudMargin Test community and Test Strategy.
• Write clear and concise test plans that may translate into complex procedures for a distributed architecture.
• Plan and coordinate the team’s testing activities so every iteration is safe to release.
• Build and maintain E2E and API automation with Playwright, including fixtures, parallelisation and trace-based debugging.
• Keep automated suites fast, deterministic and trusted – managing flakiness so recurring failure modes are designed out, not patched over.
• Integrate automation into CI/CD quality gates so quality feedback is early and continuous.
• Apply the full range of testing techniques – exploratory, regression, smoke, usability, security and performance – where automation alone is not enough.
• Coordinate the team’s efforts to ensure iterations are safe to release, owning the go / no-go quality signal.
• Lead the ethos of quality and inspire teammates.
• Experiment with AI-assisted test creation and maintenance as the team adopts these practices, always reviewing and owning the output.
• Help evaluate where AI agents can safely take on test generation and maintenance work, and where human-crafted testing remains essential.
• Treat verification, not test count or implementation speed, as the measure of done.
• Never trust unverified output – whether written by a person or generated by a tool.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product and tech leadership to align on the best approach to quality.
• Document test strategy, decisions and their reasoning so knowledge is explicit, shared and durable.
• Work within Agile/Scrum ceremonies, keeping testing visible and planned rather than an afterthought.

Benefits

• Commitment to reflecting and representing diversity of all people and to equal opportunities in employment.
• Environment that is free from all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination and values the diversity of all people.
• Support and reasonable adjustments to allow full participation in the process for individuals with disabilities.
