And you will see the impact of your work every day in the work we do. If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you. Who We Are Founded in 2020, Oxford Dynamics (OD) is a fast growing UK deep tech company developing AI and robotic systems designed to operate in mission critical environments. Our flagship AVIS (A Very Intelligent System) AI framework fuses multi modal data - text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds - enabling operators to interrogate complex information at speed and make better decisions under pressure. Our STRIDER robotic platform performs autonomous tasks in hazardous environments, protecting people while extending operational reach. Our ambition is simple but demanding: to converge AI and robotics so machines can sense, understand and act in complex, real world environments. We work with defence and security organisations internationally to help protect nations, infrastructure and lives.

Working embedded with AI, Backend, Frontend, and DevOps, you'll shape how we validate agent behaviours, data pipelines, and end to end operational workflows - from research prototypes through to production deployments for Defence and Security customers. Quality is built in from day one, not inspected at the end. Key Responsibilities Define and own the end to end test strategy across AI, backend, frontend, and infrastructure layers.

Oversee automated testing across API and service layers, UI (E2E and accessibility), and infrastructure and deployment workflows. Select, implement, and evolve testing tools and frameworks appropriate to modern cloud native and AI systems. Non Functional Testing Own performance, scalability, reliability, and resilience testing for distributed systems. Coordinate security testing activities in line with secure by design principles (e.g. IAM, secrets handling, data boundaries). Validate backup, disaster recovery, and failover scenarios alongside DevOps and Backend teams. Delivery & Collaboration Embed with delivery teams to ensure testing is planned early and executed continuously. Work closely with Product and Engineering to define clear acceptance criteria and definition of done. Provide clear, decision ready quality reporting to technical and non technical stakeholders. Support customer facing demonstrations, trials, and operational readiness assessments. Required Skills & Experience Proven experience as a Test Manager, Senior Test Lead, or equivalent on complex software systems. Strong track record of taking applications into production in regulated environments. Strong background in automated testing across APIs, services, and UIs, integrated into CI/CD pipelines.

ISTQB Advanced / Test Manager certification or equivalent practical experience. SC Clearance or eligibility to obtain UK SC Clearance. Preferred Experience Experience in UK defence, public sector, or security environments. Experience testing AI/ML/LLM based systems, including non deterministic outputs. Exposure to agent based or workflow driven architectures. Soft Skills A pragmatic, delivery focused mindset - able to balance speed with rigour.
