About the Company
Wedo has partnered with an innovative InsurTech company looking to hire a Senior QA Engineer to join their 60-strong QE community of practice.
Our client is building cutting-edge software leveraging SaaS, Cloud, Data Management, Analytics, AI, and Machine Learning. This is a Greenfield SaaS solution, offering the opportunity to take ownership of test infrastructure, tooling, and services from the ground up.
About the Role
They’re looking for a technical QA leader with a quality-first mindset, someone who sees the bigger picture and understands the customer impact of engineering decisions.
You’ll be responsible for driving continuous integration and delivery, implementing a robust testing strategy across the test pyramid, and reducing reliance on large end-to-end (E2E) tests. As the product moves into production, your focus will shift toward production readiness, owning testing across observability tooling, security validation, recovery procedures, performance & load testing, and disaster recovery planning.
You’ll be the voice of risk in engineering, able to assess, articulate, and influence decisions around test-related risk, and make clear judgments on what is and isn’t acceptable.
You’ll act as a quality champion: running workshops, upskilling teams, promoting best practices, influencing engineering culture, and leading efforts to increase non-functional test coverage.
The right person will be equally confident in functional and non-functional areas—this is not a pure performance testing role.
Experience Needed
You’ve operated at a Senior or Lead level as an IC for some time and enjoy being hands-on while also enabling others.
Experience and passionate about Risk-Based Test Approach and evidence this in your CV.
Your CV should talk about test infrastructure, building systems at scale, the reliability and performance of the systems and your direct impact on this.
You can write code in multiple languages, ideally TypeScript, Java, or C#.
Your top skill is your ability to influence, communicate, and win hearts and minds in defence of quality.
You have strong experience with CI/CD, monitoring, and alerting, QEs here work closely with DevOps… i.e you can build and configure CI/CD and understand containing your test
You bring solid experience with Microservices and API automation. JSON, C#, Rest Sharp preferred.
You have recent hands-on experience with performance testing tools such as K6 or JMeter.
