This role is fully remote, pays between £500 - £550 per day Inside IR35 and requires UK based resource and eligibility for DBS clearance for security reasons.

Key Requirements

  • 5+ Years of proven Senior/Lead QA experience, ideally as the sole QA on complex digital products
  • Ability to define end to end test strategy across discovery, build and iterate phases
  • Hands on testing of AWS cloud native systems (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, CI/CD)
  • Strong automation skills with Playwright, Cypress or TypeScript/Python frameworks
  • Experience testing APIs, structured data models and ideally NoSQL/graph technologies
  • Familiarity with React/Next.js front ends and modern TypeScript based applications
  • Understanding of semantic/graph data (eg, RDF triples, SPARQL, Amazon Neptune)
  • Ability to validate AI supported features, including LLM/RAG behaviours via Amazon Bedrock
  • Knowledge of performance testing for serverless architectures and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
