Work closely with Software Engineers to improve testability, quality and release confidence throughout development. Build and maintain automated testing using modern frameworks including Playwright and Maestro where appropriate. Support API, integration, end-to-end, accessibility, regression and performance testing activities. Contribute to test management using Testmo and help drive continuous improvements across our quality processes. Use monitoring, observability and production insights to improve platform reliability and customer experience. Champion accessibility, resilience and operational excellence as core engineering principles. Evaluate emerging technologies, including AI-assisted testing approaches, where they deliver measurable value. Skills & Experience Essential Significant experience leading QA strategy for modern web, desktop or mobile applications. Strong hands-on manual testing experience across physical Windows and Android hardware. Experience testing customer-facing or operational business-critical applications. Experience creating comprehensive test plans and release validation strategies. Strong understanding of functional, integration, regression, accessibility, API and performance testing. Experience with modern automation frameworks such as Playwright and/or Maestro. Experience testing Flutter applications. Familiarity with JSON payloads, API validation and backend integrations. Experience with test management platforms such as Testmo or similar. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. Experience working within Agile software development teams. Enthusiasm for embracing AI-assisted testing as part of the engineering workflow. Desirable Experience using BrowserStack or similar real-device testing platforms. Experience with visual regression tools such as Percy. Experience with LogRocket, Grafana or similar observability platforms. Exposure to performance testing tools such as k6 or Gatling. Experience working with Google Cloud Platform. Understanding of SQL databases and backend services. Experience working with restaurant technology, retail systems or hardware-integrated applications. You'll Be Collaborative, constructive and empathetic in how you work with others. Pragmatic in balancing quality, delivery speed and long-term maintainability. Passionate about creating reliable, accessible experiences for customers and restaurant teams. Comfortable influencing engineering teams without direct authority. Someone who leaves teams, products and engineering practices better than they found them. Everyone is Welcome At Nando's, everyone is welcome. Inspired by our Southern African heritage, we know and value the richness that diversity brings to Nando's. We're committed to creating an inclusive and respectful culture for all, including our existing and future Nandocas, partners and suppliers, customers and the communities we are part of. We deliberately work hard to create an environment where every individual is valued, respected and can flourish regardless of who they are, their background or outlook on life. We welcome applications from a diverse range of individuals and will consider any reasonable adjustments to enable candidates to perform at their best throughout the recruitment process.
