We're working with a fast-growing enterprise scale-up and digital transformation specialist on this exciting opportunity. We are looking for a Python-focused automation expert to join a high-performing QA team of 15, tackling complex integrations and modernising testing frameworks across internal and external platforms.
This is a unique chance to work on a mix of greenfield projects and legacy modernisation, using a modern stack starring Python and Playwright. You will thrive in a fast-paced, people-first culture where you are encouraged to challenge requirements and drive quality across the entire customer journey.
The Role
- Lead the enhancement and maintenance of a core automation repository using Python and Playwright.
- Work within a BDD environment using Behave to create robust, scalable test suites.
- Transition legacy frameworks from Selenium to modern tooling while ensuring continuous delivery.
- Collaborate with a large QA team to automate complex integrations with enterprise systems like SAP, Oracle NetSuite, and Salesforce.
- Actively participate in requirement refining, asking the right questions to bridge gaps in documentation.
What You'll Need
- Proven experience in QA Test Automation with strong Python scripting capabilities.
- Hands-on experience with Playwright or a strong desire to transition from Selenium.
- Solid understanding of BDD methodologies and tools such as Behave.
- Experience testing complex enterprise-level systems (SAP, NetSuite, Salesforce or similar) and API testing.
- The ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving environment where requirements may be fluid.
What's On Offer
- Fully remote working (UK-based) with occasional collaborative sessions in a beautiful Bath-based office.
- A genuine work-life balance championed by a supportive CTO—no "crunch" culture here.
- 12-month initial fixed-term position with a very high likelihood of converting to a permanent role.
- The opportunity to work in a collaborative, "no-ego" environment alongside 15 other talented QA professionals.
