Job Description

Role: Software Tester (Manual + Automation)Location: NottinghamWorking Model: Hybrid 35-hour weekSalary: Up to £42k + 10% Bonus + 10% Pension £50k Package

Let's cut through the noise

This isn't a "sit in the corner and run test scripts" kind of role.

This is for a tester who actually thinks. Someone who challenges, improves, and spots what others miss.

You'll be working on a modern eCommerce / logistics platform used at serious scale-touching everything from web apps to APIs and backend systems. It's complex, fast-moving, and genuinely interesting work.

What you'll actually be doing
  • Getting hands on with manual + automated testing across web, mobile, desktop & APIs
  • Designing smart test scenarios (not just ticking boxes)
  • Building & maintaining automation frameworks (Playwright / Selenium / Selenide)
  • Working closely with Devs & stakeholders to improve quality, not just report bugs
  • Challenging how things are done and helping raise the bar across the team
Tech you'll be around
  • Playwright (TypeScript)
  • Selenium / Selenide (Java)
  • Postman (API testing)
  • Git / Source control
  • Azure DevOps (nice to have)
  • SQL / Database testing
  • Performance tools (JMeter or similar)
What they're looking for
  • 3+ years in software testing
  • Strong experience testing web apps + APIs
  • Someone who understands how testing fits into the bigger picture
  • A problem solver, not just a test executor
  • Comfortable in a fast paced, collaborative environment

If you've touched automation and want to lean into it more, this is a great place to do it.

The package (this is where it stands out)
  • Up to £42k salary
  • 10% annual bonus (consistently paid)
  • 10% employer pension contribution
  • Realistically a £50k+ package
The extras that actually matter
  • 35 hour working week (rare these days)
  • 1 full day per month protected for learning
  • Free parking
  • Showers onsite (ideal if you train before/after work)
  • Regular team socials (good culture, not forced fun)
Why this role?

Because you'll:

  • Be trusted to think, not micromanaged
  • Work on real world high usage systems
  • Have time to develop properly (not just squeezed in)
  • Join a team that actually values quality engineering

If you're a tester who wants to step up, get more technical, and have a voice, this is worth a conversation.

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.
