About the role
- Build and maintain automated test coverage
- Create, maintain and improve automated end-to-end tests using tools such as Playwright
- Focus on regression coverage for critical user journeys across web and mobile
- Ensure automated tests are reliable, maintainable and provide meaningful signal — not noise
- Work with engineers to integrate automated tests into everyday development and CI workflows
- Take a pragmatic, product-focused approach to quality
- Apply manual and exploratory testing selectively, where automation doesn’t yet make sense
- Help the team make informed decisions about risk, quality and business value
- Be comfortable balancing pragmatism with rigour — knowing when something can ship, and when it really shouldn’t
- Push back when quality issues pose real risk to users, the product or the business
- Shape how quality works at TeamFeePay
- Contribute to defining and evolving our test strategy and approach as the product grows
- Help reduce reliance on ad-hoc manual testing by increasing confidence in automated coverage
- Work closely with engineers to improve testability and quality earlier in the development process
- Encourage shared ownership of quality rather than operating as a gatekeeper
- Collaborate, don't operate in isolation
- Work day-to-day within the Engineering team, collaborating closely with developers
- Spend some time working alongside Product to understand intent, edge cases and real-world usage
- Communicate clearly about quality, risk and trade-offs without adding unnecessary process or friction
Requirements
- Experience working in a hybrid QA or software testing role , with a strong automation focus
- Comfortable creating and maintaining automated UI tests (e.g. Playwright or similar)
- Experience defining or contributing to test strategy and regression coverage
- Able to operate independently, but values close collaboration with engineers and product
- Pragmatic and outcome-focused — not a checkbox tester or process enforcer
- Confident pushing back when needed, while still supporting engineering velocity
- Equivalent experience welcomed (we’re flexible on years but expect mid-level to senior capability)
Benefits
- A product that genuinely supports volunteers and communities
- Real influence over how quality and testing operate in a growing engineering team
- The opportunity to help move the team towards greater confidence and fewer regressions
- A collaborative, product-led culture based in our Belfast HQ, with flexibility built in
