WE HEARD:

“You will be blamed if a bug reaches production, but ignored when you warn about it during planning.”

Job Overview

Defend our trading platform from enthusiastic developers who believe writing unit tests is a form of weakness. You will build automated end-to-end test suites that catch bugs 3 seconds before production deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Build and scale comprehensive Playwright and API test automation frameworks.
  • Investigate flaky tests that pass locally on the developer's laptop but fail 40% of the time in GitHub Actions.
  • Sign off on release builds while carrying the unspoken psychological weight of being the final barrier before chaos.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of software testing and QA automation experience with modern frameworks (Playwright, Cypress).
  • Strong TypeScript/JavaScript programming skills and experience with CI/CD pipelines.
  • A healthy, deeply ingrained skepticism of anyone who says 'It worked on my machine'.

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive London fintech salary with annual performance bonus.
  • Private medical cover and subsidised gym membership.
  • Hybrid arrangement with 2 days remote per week.

Interview Process Expectation

Estimated Interview Rounds: 4 – 6 rounds
Probability of “one final quick conversation”: 98.4%
