Team Description

We're looking for a Senior Engineer to be driving the QA of our data pipeline platform — an interactive, canvas-based tool that lets customers visually design complex data processing workflows with built-in governance, quality rules, and anomaly detection.

This isn't a role buried in automation frameworks. You'll be hands-on with the product, working closely with Product and Engineering to deeply understand what we're building, who it's for, and what "good" looks like. You'll explore, probe, and question — finding the gaps before our customers do.

Your Impact

  • Drive exploratory testing across the platform — understanding user journeys, edge cases, and business-critical flows
  • Partner closely with Product to understand the domain, use cases, and customer expectations
  • Work side-by-side with engineers — you're part of the team, not a gate at the end
  • Record and communicate issues clearly, with the context engineers need to act quickly
  • Help prioritise defects based on customer impact, risk, and release timing
  • Coordinate with our offshore QA team on system integration testing and performance testing
  • Define and refine non-functional requirements (NFRs) to guide performance and reliability efforts
  • Champion quality thinking across the team — helping everyone build better software, not just catching mistakes

Your Skills

  • A strong background in manual testing with a focus on exploratory and stress testing. 
  • Deep experience understanding complex products — you can quickly grasp business domains, user workflows, and system behaviours
  • Strong communication skills — you can articulate issues clearly, written and verbal, to engineers, Product, and leadership
  • Ability to work embedded within engineering teams in fast-paced, agile environments
  • Experience with defect tracking and test management tools (Jira or similar)
  • Comfortable defining and working with NFRs for performance, scalability, and reliability

Desirable

  • You think like a user and a detective — curious, sceptical, and thorough
  • You've worked on data-heavy or workflow-based products before
  • Some automation experience (Selenium, Playwright, or similar) — not essential, but a bonus
  • You've helped shape QA practices and culture, not just executed test plans
