Senior Software Tester

Senior Software Tester with a good understanding of test automation design patterns, tools, frameworks (TDD/BDD/Gherkin/Cucumber/Selenium) and practices is wanted by a brilliant technology company’s Northampton office.

You will own the testing, monitoring, alerts and KPI reports for the software platform. You will also develop and maintain a robust and automated test suite across both test and production environment. There are other responsibilities, but I will list them further down – what you want to know is why this is different to you standard tester role.

The company – they “get” people. They know you need to work late to get the job done, and they know you need to leave early because a work/life balance is essential. With that in mind, you’ll get to work with the IT team but also work from home. The perks of working here include:

• 25 days’ annual leave
• Seeing your work rewarded, both with financial and personal incentives
• Time away from the office is deemed essential – go away on bonding trips with the team, Christmas Parties abroad and extended time with the family during busy times

Here’s the techy stuff they’d like in a CV:

• Sound understanding of different types of tests, their value, and where they fit into the software development lifecycle.
• Experience with common test automation design patterns, practices, tools, and frameworks e.g. TDD, BDD, Gherkin/Cucumber, Selenium etc.
• Experience working in an Agile environment.
• Ideally, you know automated testing within a .NET environment
• Continuous Deployment

So, to be considered, simply apply and I will tell you all about the company and opportunity in more detail. No fuss, no shenanigans…just a good chat about a place where you will enjoy working and be rewarded handsomely/beautifully for it.
