Software Developer in Test Are you passionate about quality and testing software with an Agile mindset? Do you care about 'building the right thing' and 'building the thing right'? Does being part of an innovative culture inspire you? Are you all about getting into the guts of pipelines and code rather than focusing on tools? Are you keen to bridge the divide between DevOps, Performance Engineering, Automation and QA? Sounds like you're just the rock star we're searching for - let's talk! THE ROLE We're looking for a Software Developer in Test to join our ranks. You'll have a strong collaborative focus and a drive for continuous improvement - traits that'll see you play a key part in the R&D and implementation of strategic initiatives. We're all about enabling better practices for our Delivery Teams so they can develop high quality features that delight our customers. You'll be an experienced Performance Test Engineer and a passionate Agile advocate, with a strong QA/Development/DevOps background and a desire to iterate, innovate, and instigate quality-driven approaches and processes from a Left-Shifting perspective. You'll have a breadth of knowledge in modern testing techniques and approaches, with depth and specialism in Performance Engineering and DevOps - maybe even in one or more other advanced areas too. You'll be an inspiring teacher, coaching and mentoring others to improve their skills and approach, and acting as a role model to develop the stars of tomorrow. This is a position of influence, with a strong focus on leading and driving key initiatives and improvements to instil a Quality culture in QA roles and beyond. You will be comfortable working as a self-starting individual, but have a predominantly collaborative approach to implement and influence positive change in people and processes. The status quo bores you; you want to shake things up, and we want you to bring your own ideas and experience to the table to do just that. We're looking for a leader, not a follower.
