We focus on outcomes, not output, hence we like to be quite experimental and study the data to uncover where the real value is for our customers.

- Ensure that the team's collective output is comprehensively tested and meets our quality targets.
- Work closely with engineers to guide the test coverage of the tickets, making sure that test scripts are comprehensive, follow our guidelines, and provide sufficient coverage.
- Build and maintain automation testing framework.
- Work closely with the engineers to help coach them in the best practices of automation testing and be inline with our strategy.
- Work to establish strategies for non-functional testing such as performance testing.
- Fulfill additional duties as requested.
- At least 4 or more years of demonstrable experience engineering automated testing solutions using TypeScript/JavaScript.
- Experience in building and maintaining automation frameworks for both functional and non-functional testing.
- Great attention to detail, you care deeply about the team’s output and take a no-compromise stance when it comes to quality.
- Excellent communication skills, and are able to work collaboratively and respectfully with other team members.
- A start-up mentality, are responsible, energetic, ambitious, adaptable and willing to jump in wherever you might be needed.
- Extensive experience creating test documentation such as test strategies, test plans and writing detailed bug reports.
- Deep understanding of Quality Assurance processes when it comes to both the theory as well as the implementation of it.
- Have experience with a variety of testing tools and frameworks, ideally BrowserStack and Percy.
- Experience working hand-in-hand with manual QAs and Engineers.
Our interview process involves 3 main stages.
- An initial screening call where we’ll ask questions about your current and recent roles to gage your experience and talk about you as a person
- A 2-stage technical assessment, starting with a technical Interview and then a take-home exercise.
- Follow up after the technical exercise where we discuss how you approached it and why you made the decisions you did.
End-to-end, the process typically takes 3-4 weeks but we’re happy to work around your schedule and move faster or slower if need be.
Be aware that- Applicants are expected to spend at least 1 day per week in a Novata office, although if that doesn’t work for you we do have some flexibility on allowing more remote work.
- Applicants must be located in and eligible to work in the UK. Sorry, but we can’t currently support or sponsor visa applications.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary with stock options.
- Hybrid approach to working, with regular coworking days in our London office and access to offices in New York and Washington DC.
- 30 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays.
- A non-contributory pension scheme of 9% of your base-salary from us.
