Lead Salesforce Test Engineer

It’s an exciting time to join the Digital team at AXA Health as we invest in the UK&I businesses to transform and deliver new digital services, streamline and automate processes. We’re looking for an experienced Lead Salesforce Test Engineer to join our Engineering team, to help with the delivery of our digital roadmap, develop our people and capabilities, and support our Engineering strategy to drive improvements across all teams.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to work in a product‑led operating model where all our teams align with value streams, allowing ideas to move from conception to completion with minimal handoffs. Our current focus is on developing a Single Digital Platform based on Salesforce with significant .NET estate, Azure services, and React frontend web applications.

As a Lead Salesforce Test Engineer, you will learn about recent technology trends, influence the organisation to make the right choices, and collaborate with highly dedicated engineers who respect opinions and strive for continual improvement.

You will contribute to a motivating atmosphere where people feel energized and enthusiastic about achieving common goals.

Work arrangement:
At AXA we work smart; you’ll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home and could move to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We also consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

• Line manager: supervise and guide a team of test engineers, sharing best practices in manual test execution and exploratory testing in complex end‑to‑end environments on our Salesforce platform.

• Expertise using test automation frameworks and tools to design and implement test automation suites.
• Experience with Provar or Copado Robotics Testing (CRT) would be advantageous.
• Experience with load testing / simulating load with ability to evidence and report on results.
• Extensive experience in manual testing approaches; although automation is crucial, proficiency in effective manual testing methods is required.

As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.

• Competitive annual salary up to £65,000 dependent on experience.
