As a Senior Test Engineer you’ll join DWP Digital’s Universal Credit & Working Age team - the people who design, build and run services relied on by over 5 million claimants and 30,000 colleagues. You’ll set the direction for automated testing across teams so we can ship secure, stable and accessible services at pace and with confidence.

This role blends deep technical knowledge with coaching and leadership. You’ll be guiding Test Engineers across squads, championing great engineering practice and fostering a supportive, collaborative culture. You’ll define automation strategies, build test frameworks for APIs and UIs, embed quality through CI/CD and help teams take a smart, risk-based approach that focuses effort where it matters most.

This is a high-impact role where your judgement and technical leadership will directly improve outcomes for people across the country.

What skills, knowledge and experience will you need?

You’re confident using Java to build, extend and maintain automated tests.
You’ve built and looked after API test automation (for example with Rest Assured or similar) and know how to validate contracts and edge cases.
UI testing. You’ve created reliable UI test automation (for example with Selenium, Playwright or Cypress) and understand how to keep it stable and fast.
You work with CI/CD. Using tools like GitLab CI or Jenkins to run tests in pipelines and keep quality visible for the team.
You’ve enabled performance (e.g. k6, Gatling, JMeter), security, compatibility and accessibility testing so services are robust for real users.
Experience with multiple test automation frameworks and know how to choose the right approach for the problem.

You and your role

As our Senior Test Engineer you will be the technical voice for testing across several agile delivery teams working on Universal Credit and Working Age services. You’ll set clear testing strategies, standardise patterns and help teams design for testability from the start so we catch issues early and release value quickly.

You’ll build and evolve automation across the stack, which includes:

Designing API and UI frameworks that are fast, maintainable and aligned with engineering standards.
Embedding tests in CI/CD so quality gates run early and often.
Using a risk-based approach to focus testing where it reduces uncertainty the most.
Ensuring accessibility, security, stability and capacity are considered throughout the lifecycle, not bolted on.

Equally important is your coaching and leadership. You’ll mentor Test Engineers, pair with developers, and nurture communities of practice - raising capability, sharing patterns and improving tooling together. You’ll lead by influence, bring clarity to complex problems, and help teams make smart trade-offs that protect live services while enabling rapid improvement.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy hands-on engineering, care about people and practice, and want to see your work make a measurable difference for citizens across the UK.

Lead Test Engineer - Mission Critical Systems £85,000

I’m recruiting for a Software Test Lead/Principle Test Engineer to join my client based in North Bristol. A critical requirement for this role is experience testing complex, mission critical systems that integrate software with connected hardware or physical devices. Many of the products combine mobile applications, cloud services, and real world hardware, so you must be experienced working in environments where reliability, performance, and safety are paramount.

You’ll be joining an exciting scale up that develop genuinely meaningful technology designed to keep frontline personnel safe, connected, and operational in high pressure environments. They are the nicest bunch of people and you’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative team and will lead testing across multiple complex projects. The role requires attendance in the Bristol office three days per week so you will need to be comfortable with this, and due to the sensitive nature of some projects, candidates must either hold a British passport or have lived in the UK continuously for the past five years to obtain the required security clearance. The organisation works exclusively on technology designed to protect people, so all projects are firmly in the “tech for good” space.

The Test Team currently consists of nine test engineers, and they are now seeking a Principal level hire to act as a senior technical and strategic figure within the team. This position combines hands on delivery with higher level leadership responsibilities. You will help shape test strategy, guide quality practices across multiple engineering teams, and ensure testing is embedded early in the development life cycle. Working closely with developers, product owners, and stakeholders, you’ll promote realistic, testable requirements and a strong culture of quality throughout the organisation.

Initially, the role will involve leading predominantly manual testing across mobile, hardware integrated, and cloud based systems, while also playing a key part in shaping the company’s continued investment in automation and AI. Current automation technologies include Playwright and Python based frameworks.

What you’ll be doing:

Define and govern comprehensive testing approaches that ensure mission critical systems meet strict safety, reliability and regulatory expectations
Embed within agile delivery teams, contributing to ceremonies and working closely with stakeholders to clarify and validate requirements
Plan and execute structured testing activities, including defect management, prioritisation and clear communication of results
Drive the growth of automated testing - you don’t need to be hands on with it yourself
Provide expert guidance throughout acceptance, release and deployment stages to support smooth, low risk delivery
Lead, coach and support senior engineers, fostering capability growth and encouraging best practice across the team
Exploring emerging approaches including AI driven tooling

What they’re looking for:

Proven experience leading or coordinating testing activities for mission critical systems
Strong interest in technology, innovation, and AI
Solid background in manual testing across complex systems (mobile, hardware integrated, or distributed platforms)
Knowledge of automation tools without needing to be necessarily hands on yourself
Familiarity with CI/CD environments (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab) and modern QA practices
A curious, pragmatic mindset and drive for continuous improvement

This is a company where testing is highly valued and you’ll have a real opportunity to influence strategy, shape the future of testing within the organisation, and contribute to technology that makes a real difference.

The salary is up to 85,000 depending on experience.
