We help firefighters see around buildings and police officers see around street corners.

And we provide the situational awareness first responders need when a moment brings catastrophe.

We help people be their best in their moments that matter.

Guardian is a call‑taking & dispatching platform used by emergency service operators across the UK & Europe. We help 999 or 112 operators answer calls from the public and dispatch out nearby responders, enabling the right response when every second counts, and ultimately helping our customers save lives.

As our solution has grown from a small start‑up to one of the leading offerings for Fire & Police agencies, our customers now trust us to solve more of their problems. You will help us innovate across the Guardian portfolio by working under our senior product leads to refine our core call‑taking & dispatching offerings, while also getting the chance to carve your own path by leading development for an expansion product.

The Guardian team is distributed across the UK, with hubs in Glasgow, Leicester, and Hemel. We currently have around 150 employees. We have a relaxed but hard‑working environment where jeans and t‑shirts are the norm and good ideas and debate are encouraged. Our daily work is remote and often asynchronous, with workflows managed via Google Chat & collaborative documents in G‑Suite.

However, you’ll also have the opportunity to join us for frequent in‑person work & social events.

As a Software Test Engineer, you will work as part of an established test team, overseen by the Test Manager. This position will be full time UK – Remote but there is the occasional requirement to work in one of our offices or at a customer site. You will participate in all aspects of the software development lifecycle as part of an Agile development Scrum team.

Your focus will be on making sure the product is fit for purpose for our customers, ensuring the quality and functionality of the Guardian software applications before they are released to our customers.

Your role will involve designing, executing and maintaining test cases, identifying defects, raising issue logs and collaborating with the developers to help resolve the issues. Our testing covers internal sprint testing, release testing and sometimes on‑site customer test events where the tester will be required to work alongside many different people, both internal and external to the Motorola organisation.

You will be able to use your creativity and push yourself to find new ways of making our products break – to make sure we find all the issues before our customers do.

We are also keen to expand on our automation, so having that eye for detail and experience in both manual and automation testing will be an added advantage.

You will succeed in this role if you are a person who wants to work…
