Join a team of passionate thought leaders in a dynamic and collaborative environment!

The position will lead a test team - compromising of automation testers and a performance tester. Moreover, the Test Lead will interface with technical teams and business-facing colleagues - bridging the team with wider audiences.

  • Demonstrable team lead track record
  • Azure DevOps tools (including test automation) - essential
  • Specflow (2+ years) - essential

  • C# programming language expert (3+ years) to build testing frameworks
  • Able to communicate effectively with a broad audience, technical and non-technical
