Job Description:

Software Tester - Web / SaaS Platform

Location: Stockport, Greater Manchester (Hybrid: 3 days in-office, 2 days remote)

Employment Type: Permanent, Full-time

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Software Tester to join a growing product engineering team delivering high-quality, scalable web software.

We are looking for someone who takes true ownership of software quality, thinks critically about edge cases, uncovers defects before users encounter them, and actively contributes to building better digital products. Working alongside developers, product managers, and support teams in an agile environment, your input will directly influence release readiness and user satisfaction.

What You'll Do
  • Manual and Exploratory Testing: Systematically test new features, improvements, and bug fixes across a complex SaaS/e-commerce platform, ensuring functional accuracy, consistency, and a seamless user experience.
  • Regression Testing: Validate existing core journeys before production releases to ensure new code does not introduce unexpected breakages.
  • Test Design and Documentation: Create structured, repeatable test plans and scenarios covering both standard paths and tricky edge cases.
  • Defect Investigation and Reporting: Isolate and reproduce complex issues, providing clear, actionable, developer-ready bug reports with network/console context where relevant.
  • Release Assurance: Play a central role in release sign-offs, helping determine when software is dependable and ready for production.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner directly with developers and product owners to clarify requirements, investigate customer-reported anomalies, and champion software quality across sprints.
What We're Looking For
  • Experience: Minimum 2+ years of commercial manual testing / QA experience.
  • Web Application Focus: Proven background testing complex web applications, ideally SaaS or transaction-heavy platforms.
  • Methodologies: Strong working grasp of functional, regression, integration, and exploratory testing techniques.
  • Attention to Detail: Methodical problem-solver with an analytical mindset and a strong appreciation for intuitive UX.
  • Technical Literacy: Comfortable using browser developer tools, tracking issues via standard management systems, and understanding modern web/API architecture.
  • Communication: Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to explain technical problems constructively to developers.
Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Exposure to automated testing frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium).
  • Familiarity with API testing tools (Postman, Bruno).
  • Experience with e-commerce systems, particularly checkout workflows, payment gateways, and inventory logic.
  • Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or SQL.
  • Experience in Agile/Scrum environments using Git and modern CI/CD pipelines.
