What's the role?: We're looking for brilliant, well-rounded Engineering Consultants who specialise in the .NET ecosystem. At Nimble, you're more than a developer; you're a problem-solver and trusted advisor. You are a polyglot engineer at heart - adaptable, pragmatic, and capable of driving end-to-end delivery. You thrive on taking ownership of the entire software lifecycle - seamlessly bridging the gap between business requirements and technical execution to build, deploy, and maintain complete, fit-for-purpose solutions. What you will do: End-to-End Delivery & Analysis: Shape messy backlogs, clarify ambiguous requirements, and drive features from concept to production. You don't just take tickets; you solve business problems. Drive Holistic Quality: Think in complete solutions. You evaluate "quality" against the client's reality - balancing Total Cost of Ownership, performance, scalability, maintainability, and pragmatic test automation to ensure sustainable success. Engineering in Complex Domains: Deliver robust software across everything from modern cloud-native apps to 20-year-old monoliths. You build the right solution for the client's specific constraints and deadlines. AI-Accelerated Engineering: Seamlessly integrate LLMs and AI tooling (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, etc) into your daily workflow to rapid-prototype, accelerate feature delivery, and cut through legacy complexity. Consulting & Leadership: Guide clients and small teams through uncertainty. You lead by example, bringing calm and clarity to high pressure, fast paced environments. What you need to bring: Consulting Mindset: The ability to build trust, navigate ambiguity, and maintain high performance even when requirements or environments shift. Solution Shaping & Cloud Fluency: The ability to design and shape solutions that are right for the problem at hand. You bring proven experience with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and a solid understanding of modern architectural patterns, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerised systems, and serverless architectures. Deep Technical Foundations: Strong, proven experience across the .NET ecosystem (C#, modern .NET, legacy frameworks), backed by solid SQL and JavaScript skills. Polyglot Mindset: A genuine curiosity and interest in continuous learning. You aren't dogmatic about tech stacks; you view different languages, older legacy systems, and modern front end frameworks (like React, Vue, or Angular) as tools to solve problems, and you are eager to pick them up as the project demands. AI Tooling Fluency: Hands on experience using AI coding assistants and LLMs to actively accelerate your development lifecycle. Agile Pragmatism: Experience thriving in fast paced, collaborative spaces. You aren't afraid to question the status quo and organise chaotic workflows. Who we are: Nimble Approach are a rapidly growing Product & Tech consultancy who deliver value and enhance organisations. We pride ourselves on delivering great projects to multiple clients in different industries including Healthcare, Government, Utilities, Fintech, Manufacturing and more, so there's lots of opportunity to try out new things!

Senior Software Engineer in Test (Senior SDET) - Department: Omnichannel Experience (OCX). We offer hybrid working, with occasional presence at one of our Holland & Barrett offices in London or Nuneaton for team collaboration, key meetings and events (typically once per quarter). About The Role We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test (SDET) to help shape and elevate quality engineering across our Omnichannel Experience (OCX) domain. This role goes beyond traditional testing. You'll play a key part in improving how we think about quality across multiple teams, introducing better practices, strengthening automation, and enabling teams to deliver high quality software with confidence. What you'll be doing Lead and evolve quality engineering practices across multiple product teams. Design, build and improve automated testing frameworks (UI, API and service level). Expand testing strategies beyond end to end into microservices and system level validation. Drive a shift left approach to quality, embedding testing earlier in the development lifecycle. Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, ensuring quality is integrated into delivery workflows. Improve observability and monitoring to support proactive quality and faster issue resolution. Partner with engineers, product and QA to define and implement best practices. Identify and remove blockers, enabling teams to deliver efficiently. Influence and guide teams on modern testing approaches and tooling. What you'll bring Strong experience in software testing and quality engineering within modern engineering environments. Proven experience building and owning automation frameworks from scratch. Strong coding skills (e.g., Java, Kotlin, JavaScript or similar). Experience testing across multiple layers - UI, API, and microservices. Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated testing into delivery. Experience working with distributed systems and modern architectures. A strong understanding of quality beyond functional testing (e.g., performance, resilience, observability). Experience influencing and driving initiatives across multiple teams. A proactive, problem solving mindset with the ability to unblock others. Ways of working Agile environment (continuously evolving and improving). Fully remote working supported, with optional office collaboration. Flexibility in working hours, aligned broadly to UK time zones. What success looks like Teams adopt stronger, more consistent quality engineering practices. Automation is scalable, reliable and embedded across the development lifecycle. Quality is considered early, not just at the end of delivery. Engineers are empowered with better tools, frameworks and guidance. Delivery is faster, more stable and more predictable. Key considerations (screening focus) Demonstrated technical leadership (without relying on people management). Experience building and evolving automation frameworks. Evidence of improving quality beyond traditional E2E/API testing. Balanced automation approach (not manual heavy). Experience influencing multiple teams and driving change.
