Lead QA Engineer Location: Nottingham, 2 days a week in the office Salary: up to £60k depending on experience We re looking for a passionate and detail-driven QA professional who wants to take ownership of quality, improve how software is built, and play a key role in shaping how products are delivered to users at scale. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you ll work closely with developers, business analysts, and cloud engineering teams to strengthen testing practices, reduce defects in production, and continuously improve the delivery pipeline. You ll be central to defining what good quality looks like and ensuring it is consistently achieved. You ll thrive in this role if you enjoy getting into the detail of how systems work, identifying issues before they reach customers, and building confidence in every release that goes out the door. What You ll Be Doing You ll take ownership of quality assurance across the development lifecycle, working closely with stakeholders to shape clear, testable requirements and ensure defects are well understood, documented, and resolved effectively. You ll design, maintain, and improve automated test coverage using modern testing frameworks, while also contributing to broader testing strategy, including API and performance testing. You ll work within CI/CD pipelines to help ensure smooth, reliable, and efficient releases. You ll also play a key role in release readiness, collaborating with engineering and product teams to ensure every deployment meets agreed quality standards and is delivered with confidence. Alongside hands-on testing, you ll help define QA standards across the team, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, and provide meaningful reporting on quality metrics and release efficiency. What You Bring You ll bring strong hands-on experience in modern QA engineering, along with a mindset focused on prevention rather than just detection of issues. We re looking for someone comfortable working across: TypeScript and modern browser debugging tools Test automation frameworks such as Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium API testing tools such as Postman or Bruno Git-based workflows and CI/CD environments (including Bitbucket) Performance and load testing tools such as k6 or JMeter You ll also be confident working in Agile environments, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and clearly communicating complex technical issues in a simple, structured way. A strong understanding of SQL, AWS (particularly monitoring tools such as CloudWatch), and front-end technologies such as CSS selectors will be valuable. Experience with Vue.js is also beneficial. You ll ideally have some exposure to test case management tools and release management practices, along with an interest in improving automation, efficiency, and delivery quality. Leadership or mentoring experience within a small team will be an advantage, as this role has a natural progression into broader QA ownership and influence. The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here You re someone who notices the small details others miss. You enjoy understanding how systems behave under pressure, and you take pride in improving both product quality and engineering processes. You re proactive, collaborative, and comfortable working across technical and non-technical teams to get things done properly. We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.

Role: QA Lead Location: Manchester Working arrangement: hybrid - 2 days a week in the office Salary: up to £75k About the role This is a role for someone who cares about building reliable software and wants to shape how quality is handled across an entire platform. You will take ownership of how testing is approached across a complex product set, from core systems to AI-driven features. The focus is on making quality part of everyday development, not something checked at the end. You will still be hands-on. That means working with automation, exploring edge cases, supporting releases, and helping teams understand where risks sit and how to reduce them. You will also guide how AI-based features are tested in a way that is practical and safe. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and platform teams to make sure releases are steady, predictable, and based on clear evidence. What you will do Set the direction for testing across the platform, from planning through to production monitoring Build and improve automated test coverage using tools such as C#, xUnit, Selenium and Playwright Support teams with test design, risk awareness, and release readiness Put in place clear processes for defect handling and release validation Help teams test both traditional systems and AI-driven features in a consistent way What we are looking for You are someone who understands software quality in practice, not just in theory. You have worked with automation and know where it adds value and where it does not. You are comfortable getting into the detail when needed, but also able to step back and improve how teams work overall. You can work with engineers as a peer, guiding rather than directing. You are able to explain trade-offs clearly and make decisions based on risk and impact. Experience with AI-based systems is useful, but what matters more is your approach to testing complex and less predictable behaviour. What you can expect You will have the space to shape how quality is done, not just maintain what is already there. The work will be varied, covering both established systems and newer AI features. The team environment is collaborative, with a focus on solving problems and improving how things are done over time. If you are looking for a role where you can influence how software is built and released, while staying close to the technical work, this is worth exploring. We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background.

Description A senior engineering leader who is responsible for the technical health, delivery performance, and professional development of their team. The Tech Lead is the primary engineering owner for one or more teams - setting technical direction, building culture, and bridging the gap between engineering and the broader organisation. Tech Leads are expected to actively drive AI-native culture within their team and model best practice for everyone they manage. The step from Technical Project Lead to Tech Lead is the most significant transition in the engineering career path. The TPL role is delivery-focused; the Tech Lead role adds sustained people leadership, team design, and function-level accountability. You are no longer primarily measured by what you build or what your project delivers - you are measured by the health and capability of your team over time. This means investing in people who may not yet be performing, having difficult conversations, and sometimes slowing down delivery to get the team architecture right. It is a fundamentally different role, and the instincts that made you a great TPL will need to evolve. Hands-on contribution remains significant. Approximately 60% of time is spent on direct technical work - coding, design, review, and architectural decision-making - and 40% on line management, stakeholder communication, hiring, and engineering strategy. This reflects Ignite's current scale and the importance of Tech Lead technical credibility. Responsibilities Own the technical health of one or more delivery teams: architecture, standards, quality, and culture Line manage up to 6 engineers directly or up to 10 indirectly, including regular 1:1s, objective setting, development support, and performance management Make or delegate architectural decisions with confidence, maintaining long-term codebase coherence Balance hands-on technical contribution with management and leadership responsibilities Drive quality and delivery standards across the team, setting clear expectations and holding them consistently Contribute to sprint planning and prioritisation alongside the Programme Manager and Analysts Lead incident response for the team, ensuring post-mortems produce systemic improvements and address root causes Represent engineering in stakeholder conversations, communicating clearly on delivery status, technical risk, and capacity Partner with the Head of Engineering on resourcing, team design, and delivery strategy Contribute to hiring by defining role requirements, leading technical interviews, and making recommendations Support the development of Senior Engineers towards greater leadership capability Operate with commercial awareness, understanding the revenue and margin implications of technical decisions Contribute to cross-function engineering strategy and platform-wide architectural decisions Develop or contribute to the Ignite repeatability and AI-native agenda Contribute to hiring strategy and team design conversations with the Head of Engineering Carry full line management responsibility for direct reports, including probation management and formal performance processes Support pay review and promotion recommendations to the Head of Engineering Manage indirect accountability for QA leads and their reports within the Ignite structure AI Leadership Responsibilities Actively use and champion coding harnesses, building team-level harnesses that standardize AI usage for common tasks Understand AI agents at an implementation level, including design, risks, and appropriate usage Understand and work with skills as reusable AI capabilities Have a strong working knowledge of MCP (Model Context Protocol), including tool access, context management, and security implications Set expectations for AI tool use within the team, defining what is encouraged, what requires review, and where human verification is required Stay current with the AI tooling landscape and share relevant developments with the Head of Engineering Qualifications Languages: TypeScript and C#/.NET (sufficient depth to review and guide work in both stacks) Frontend: Vue.js (Customer Portal stack - review and governance level) Databases: SQL Server, PostgreSQL (design, performance, governance) Cloud & Infrastructure: Azure (architecture, cost management, security posture) Container Orchestration: Kubernetes (operational and governance level) CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitOps (ownership and governance) Security: ISO 27001 controls implementation and penetration test coordination Tooling: Linear, Git/GitHub, Copilot, monitoring and alerting platforms
