QA Engineer

Edinburgh | £50,000 - £60,000 | Permanent

Published: 24.04.24 Ref: BBBH46609_1713958031

A prominent company in Edinburgh are looking to hire two experienced QA Engineers.

They are a respected organisation who create SaaS products for complex industries. They have made a name for themselves as an employer that truly cares about their employee's career growth (they advocate for professional development and promoting internally!), and who genuinely live the values of the company.

You will be very hands-on, with a focus on C# for automation testing - this is an essential skill. You will be carrying out API automation testing helping to design and implement automation frameworks from scratch. You will be actively participating in team meetings and helping to guide and mentor Junior QA's when required. If you're a QA that can take initiative and carry out testing with a Developer mindset then this is definitely an environment that you will flourish in.

To sum up, this is a company who can offer lots of career growth in terms of technical skillset, responsibility and promotion. They have created a diverse workforce, can offer different groups for you to join (whether social or more work focused) - so you aren't just siloed to the technical team.

They are mainly looking for the following skills/experience:

** C# experience for automation testing

** Creating automation test frameworks from scratch

** Web-based UI testing

** API testing

Some of the team come in regularly to their city centre Edinburgh office, and others only come in infrequently when needed, but all attend at least once a week.

They can offer a salary of £50,00-£60,000 depending on experience. With an amazing benefits package including (but not limited to) private healthcare, dental, a generous double matching pension contribution, emergency family care, stocks and an employee assistance programme.

If you're a talented QA Engineer looking to join a fast-paced and modern technical environment, please do apply and/or reach out to Olivia at Cathcart Technology for more information.

Before we assess a candidate and put them forward, we’ll do a phone interview to get a better understanding of the type you’re looking for, your goals and plans.

Personal branding is a term you may or may not be familiar with. In our connected world, it pays to be fully prepared for what happens when employees search your name.

Our clients

Candidates

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow
