Monitor test execution, investigate failures, and contribute to improving test reliability and maintainability
Support test data management and test environment configuration where required
Ensure test artefacts and documentation are accurate, clear, and kept up to date
Continuously improve test coverage and automation effectiveness within the team

Requirements:

Commercial experience working as a Test Automation Engineer within an Agile delivery team
Strong hands‑on experience with Cypress and/or Selenium
Experience using Python to support automated testing and frameworks
Solid experience with API testing and automation
Ability to analyse functional and technical requirements to determine appropriate test coverage
Experience maintaining and extending existing automation suites
Confidence working independently on automation tasks with minimal supervision
Experience troubleshooting automated tests, particularly within CI/CD pipelines
Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain testing outcomes clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
A pragmatic, quality‑focused mindset with a good understanding of when automation adds value

Nice to have:

Experience working in financial services, fintech, or other regulated environments
Familiarity with tools such as Postman, Xray, Jira, Confluence, AWS, and BrowserStack
Experience with BDD approaches (e.g., Gherkin)
Cross‑browser and cross‑device testing experience
Experience working with third‑party or offshore development teams
Exposure to test automation in complex or legacy systems
