Software Tester

Role: Software Tester (Manual + Automation) Location: Nottingham Working Model: Hybrid | 35-hour week Salary: Up to £42k + 10% Bonus + 10% Pension ~£50k Package Let’s cut through the noise… This isn’t a “sit in the corner and run test scripts” kind of role. This is for a tester who actually thinks. Someone who challenges, improves, and spots what others miss. You’ll be working on a modern eCommerce / logistics platform used at serious scale—touching everything from web apps to APIs and backend systems. It’s complex, fast-moving, and genuinely interesting work. What you’ll actually be doing * Getting hands-on with manual + automated testing across web, mobile, desktop & APIs * Designing smart test scenarios (not just ticking boxes) * Building & maintaining automation frameworks (Playwright / Selenium / Selenide) * Working closely with Devs & stakeholders to improve quality, not just report bugs * Challenging how things are done and helping raise the bar across the team Tech you’ll be around * Playwright (TypeScript) * Selenium / Selenide (Java) * Postman (API testing) * Git / Source control * Azure DevOps (nice to have) * SQL / Database testing * Performance tools (JMeter or similar) What they’re looking for * ~3+ years in software testing * Strong experience testing web apps + APIs * Someone who understands how testing fits into the bigger picture * A problem-solver, not just a test executor * Comfortable in a fast-paced, collaborative environment If you’ve touched automation and want to lean into it more, this is a great place to do it. The package (this is where it stands out) * Up to £42k salary * 10% annual bonus (consistently paid) * 10% employer pension contribution * → Realistically a £50k+ package The extras that actually matter * 35-hour working week (rare these days) * 1 full day per month protected for learning * Free parking * Showers onsite (ideal if you train before/after work) * Regular team socials (good culture, not forced fun) Why this role? Because you’ll: * Be trusted to think, not micromanaged * Work on real-world, high-usage systems * Have time to develop properly (not just squeezed in) * Join a team that actually values quality engineering If you’re a tester who wants to step up, get more technical, and have a voice, this is worth a conversation.
