• Duration: Until March 2027

***Experience with NoSQL Databases is absolutely essential***

Overview

We're looking for a Test Engineer to join a public sector programme in a role that's heavily focused on data and database testing, alongside integration and API work. You'll be working across Java and TypeScript codebases, using Selenium and Playwright for automation, with NoSQL database experience being critical to this role given the data-heavy nature of the systems involved.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain automated tests using Selenium and Playwright
• Carry out data and database testing, ensuring data integrity, consistency and correctness across systems
• Test integrations between services, validating data flow end to end
• Perform API testing, covering functional correctness, edge cases and error handling
• Work across Java and TypeScript codebases to build and maintain test scripts
• Collaborate with developers and BAs to understand data models and integration points
• Report on testing progress, defects and risks clearly and consistently

Key Requirements

• Strong experience with Java and TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with Selenium and Playwright
• Solid experience testing NoSQL databases, ideally MongoDB, though other NoSQL platforms considered
• Proven experience with data and database testing, not just UI level testing
• Strong experience testing integrations and APIs
• Previous experience working within Government or public sector programmes

Desirable

• Experience working across both SQL and NoSQL environments
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for automated test execution
