Automation Quality Assurance Engineer

About us

We are a small, fast-moving and enthusiastic team. We value curiosity, honesty and humility and know that people with purpose bring their best selves to work. We believe in building the role around the person, acknowledging unique skills and talents to allow people to get the most out of their time with us.

Collaboration is key - we only succeed as a team. This is why we are committed to creating a true sense of belonging and community, providing the right tools and spaces to allow people to make meaningful connections. Everyone has a voice, and we don’t believe in barriers to communication caused by job titles.

We want this to be a career - not just a job - so we commit to training and development, volunteering opportunities and empowering people to explore and drive the direction of their own journey.

We are fully remote and understand that people have lives outside of work. With this in mind we are flexible around working hours to accommodate all that important stuff such as caring responsibilities, medical appointments and anything else that has to happen. Work-life balance is crucial and we aim to support a healthy blend. We like to get together occasionally to strengthen relationships, share successes and unwind.

There are regular company meet-ups and opportunities for smaller team meet-ups throughout the year.

Honesty, tenacity and accountability are how we succeed, and form our core values. We win by showing up in the right ways and doing the right things…as a team. Our share options ensure that when we win, we do it together!
