Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of the quality assurance process, designing and developing the automated testing framework.

• Ask the right questions and document expected behaviour where inherited documentation is partly out of date.
• Author English-readable scenarios in Cucumber and Gherkin.
• Build automation in JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Drive the UI through a page object model.
• Add data-test-ids to React code where missing.
• Validate correct database state using SQL.
• Maintain the automated tests as new features arrive.
• Feed into requirements upfront as new features are planned.
• Flag compliance, regulatory and security implications.
• Run exploratory testing to identify where the product behaves incorrectly.
• Improve reliability and enable faster, safer releases through automation.
• Reproduce multi-step defects precisely and identify edge cases.
• Build a repeatable, documented QA process from an unreliable baseline.
• Work out how the system should behave across multiple user perspectives and how it might break.
