Quality Engineer

As a Quality Engineer, you’ll be an embedded engineer, working alongside developers to prevent defects, build robust automation, and ensure quality is a shared outcome.

This is a hands-on, mid-level role for someone who already operates this way: an engineer who specialises in quality, not a tester adding automation as an afterthought.

This is a hybrid role based in Swindon, with the requirement to be in the office 3 days a week.
