Full Job Posting

We are looking for a Senior Test Automation Engineer to join our team of dedicated automation testers working on a wide variety of agile projects across Health, Retail and Finance sectors.

The Test Capability @ Answer are passionate about “shift left testing”, which ensures testers are involved from day 1, making sure TDD is in place to catch and fix issues early and make better quality solutions for our clients.

We're excited about using AI to accelerate and improve our work, while applying our expertise and judgement to ensure everything meets a high quality standard.

If you’re passionate about wanting to champion better testing (whether that’s new tools, technologies or ways of working) - we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll bring to Answer:

Designing bespoke Test Strategies to compliment technical solutions implemented using cloud technologies (K8s, Docker).
Building frontend automation frameworks using the latest open source test automation tools (such as Cypress and Playwright)
Building backend automation frameworks using the latest open source test automation tools (HttpClient/RestSharp/RestAssured (C#), RestAssured (Java), SuperTest/Jest (JavaScript))
Working in an agile (Scrum/Kanban) project environment utilising a test first approach which drives and creates a shared understanding of project requirements e.g. Shift Left, Example Mapping, BDD, 3 Amigos
Implementation of automated quality checks to run as part of a continuous integration environment (GitHub/ Azure DevOps / AWS Pipelines)
You should also have an enthusiasm for leveraging new AI technologies to enhance your workflow and improve outcomes

It would be great if you also had experience in some of these, but if not we’ll help you with them:

Test Consultancy experience e.g. working on customer site and advising on agile test strategy and best practices
Mentoring of junior testers and contributing to our test community
Knowledge and experience of non-functional testing e.g. Performance Testing (Locust, k6, JMeter), Accessibility Testing (WCAG 2.2, AXE) or Security Testing (OWASP top 10/ Snyk/ Grype)
Experience of Data/ETL Testing
Experienced in AI usage in test, whether through AI enabled frameworks such as UIPath or Vibium or using coding focused LLMs like Claude Code or Github Copilot to accelerate your work.

We pride ourselves on having a fair but flexible recruitment process, we want to create a platform where you can show us your best.

For us, keeping it simple means you can focus on understanding if our people, values and the work we do are right for you.

Our typical process can be broken down into 3 stages;

Recruiter call: This normally lasts 15-30 minutes. We will talk to you about Answer Digital, the type of work we do, and an overview of the role. We’ll ask you some questions about your current situation and why you’re interested in working here. Here, we’d advise asking any “people” questions, anything about our culture, career progression or approach to flexible working.
Skills based interview: This interview will be with 2 people, normally from the team you’re applying to work with. We can do this stage remote or in person, whichever you’d prefer. This interview will involve questions around your experience, the skills you’ve gained and the work you’ve done. We’ll also ask questions about the role and challenges you might face and how you’d face them. Here, we’d recommend asking questions about the role, the day to day responsibilities and what life in the team is like.
Cultural/Value interview: This interview will be with 2 of our Leadership team, either our Directors or Capability Leads. It will focus on our culture and values, talking about our values and what they mean to us as well as understanding what values are important to you and how you like to work. This interview is about making sure Answer is right for you, as much as the other way around. Here, we advise you to ask as many questions around our business model, our ambitious growth plans and anything to do with Answer as a business.
Hybrid and flexible working – you can vary your working when and where you work, to allow you to collaborate better, feed your creativity, and take the time and space to focus when you need to
