Automation Test Engineer

This role gives you the opportunity to combine hands-on test automation with genuine influence over software quality.

You will work across an established insurance technology portfolio while helping evolve our automation approach and tooling. You will have the space to improve testing practices, collaborate closely with engineering teams, and contribute directly to the quality of products serving the insurance sector.

For someone who enjoys solving problems rather than simply executing test scripts, it offers a strong balance of technical ownership, product impact, and long-term development within a global data, analytics, and technology organization.

You will join a collaborative Agile Scrum team, taking ownership of automated testing while helping the team continuously improve how quality is delivered.

You will:

•   Design, develop, and maintain automated tests using Cypress.io and BDD practices with Cucumber, while contributing to our migration toward Playwright.

•   Work alongside developers, product owners, and business analysts to understand requirements early and build effective test coverage.

•   Own system, regression, and integration testing across multiple environments.

•   Validate REST API integrations using tools such as Postman or Insomnia.

•   Create and maintain effective test cases in QMetry, aligned with product requirements and the wider test strategy.

•   Identify, investigate, and track defects through JIRA, partnering with developers to reproduce issues and get to the root of problems.

•   Define appropriate test data and quality benchmarks, while identifying opportunities to improve our automation and testing practices.

•   Contribute actively to sprint planning, stand-ups, backlog refinement, reviews, retrospectives, and quarterly PI planning.

•   Support release readiness by planning test activity, reviewing release notes, and validating functionality before deployment.

You will bring solid hands-on experience in software testing and automation and be comfortable working as part of an Agile engineering team.

We are particularly interested in experience with:

•   Cypress.io or another modern test automation framework.

•   BDD frameworks such as Cucumber.

•   API testing with Postman, Insomnia, or similar tools.

•   Test case management using QMetry or equivalent.

•   JIRA for defect, task, and sprint management.

•   System, regression, and integration testing.

•   Working collaboratively with software developers and other technical and business stakeholders.

Just as importantly, you will be methodical and curious, with strong attention to detail and the confidence to communicate technical issues clearly.
