Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer

£60,000 + Benefits | Leeds | Hybrid - 3 days per week

We're working with a growing FinTech business looking for a Senior QA Engineer to take real ownership of quality and test automation across its product estate.

This isn't a manual testing role. They need someone who genuinely believes in automation-first testing and can come in, assess the existing testing frameworks and processes, identify where things can be improved, and help shape a stronger QA approach across the engineering team.

What you'll be doing:

• Assess the current testing estate, frameworks and overall QA approach
• Own and improve automated testing across the product suite
• Build and maintain robust automation using Playwright
• Work closely with Developers and Product Owners to embed quality throughout delivery
• Identify gaps in existing processes and introduce better tooling and practices
• Remain hands-on while helping shape the wider QA strategy

What we're looking for:

• Strong commercial experience in QA / Test Automation
• Deep hands-on experience with Playwright
• Strong TypeScript experience within test automation
• Exposure to Go environments would be beneficial
• Strong understanding of modern automated testing frameworks and practices
• Experience assessing and improving existing QA/test environments
• A genuine automation-first mindset - not predominantly manual testing
