This is an exciting opportunity to work on a highly secure, business-critical system where you will be responsible for designing, developing, and executing automated tests against complex Back End services.

Construct test inputs, messages, and expected outputs across a wide variety of scenarios.
Automate the generation of test data and test inputs to improve delivery efficiency.
Perform both functional and non-functional testing, including performance and operability testing.
Analyse test results, identify defects, and work closely with development teams to resolve issues.
Maintain accurate test artefacts and reporting within agreed tooling and processes.

Essential Skills & Experience

Proven experience in functional testing and test automation.
Experience testing Back End systems, APIs, or web services where no UI is available.
Strong understanding of test design techniques and scenario creation.
Experience creating automated test inputs and validating expected outcomes.
Exposure to both functional and non-functional testing methodologies.
