- Work closely with development and operations teams to identify and resolve issues early
- Automate repetitive testing tasks using appropriate tools and frameworks
- Contribute to continuous improvement of QA practices, tooling and processes
- Support senior testing leadership in delivering successful outcomes for clients
Tester – Key Skills Required
- 3+ years as a Tester in large enterprise environments, ideally across multiple sectors

- Familiarity with Windows 11 in an Evergreen environment
- Cloud/infrastructure exposure (Azure, AWS or on-premises)
- API, services and integration testing experience
- Practical use of tools such as Postman, Jenkins, JMeter or equivalents
