Required experience • Professional software development experience, with strong proficiency in TypeScript or a comparable language., • Sound understanding of REST APIs, HTTP, JSON, and authentication patterns (OAuth/JWT)., • Working knowledge of relational and/or NoSQL databases., • Familiarity with modern web application architecture (React or equivalent frontend frameworks, Node.js services)., • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to reproduce and isolate complex defects., • Excellent written communication, particularly for defect reports, test documentation, and cross-team collaboration., • The right to work in the United Kingdom. Desirable experience • Prior exposure to test automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Postman/Newman, or REST Assured., • Experience with test management tools (Qase, TestRail, Zephyr)., • Familiarity with AWS services, serverless architectures, or event-driven systems., • Experience working in multi-brand or multi-tenant environments. Our technology stack Frontend - React 18, TypeScript, Vite, MUI, Tailwind CSS, TanStack Query Backend - Node.js 22, Express, TSOA (OpenAPI) Infra - AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, S3 Auth - Auth0 (JWT) QA Tooling - Qase Working arrangements This is a UK-based position.
