Cranmore Consulting · Holywood, Northern Ireland
We're a human-led, AI-enabled transformation consultancy building agentic platforms, digital twins and enterprise solutions for public sector clients across the UK and Ireland. We're looking for a Junior Software Tester to learn the craft properly and grow into a trusted member of our QA team.
You don't need to know everything on day one. You do need to be curious, careful, and genuinely keen to learn.
Closing date for applications is 30/07/2026
What you'll do
- Turn user stories and acceptance criteria into clear, practical test cases
- Test software against what it's meant to do — and clearly document it when it doesn't
- Write reproducible defect reports that let developers fix things fast
- Work closely with developers, business analysts and senior testers
- Learn test automation and embrace AI to optimise how we test — this is core to how QA works at Cranmore, not an optional extra
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- A basic understanding of software testing and why quality assurance matters
- Sharp attention to detail and analytical thinking
- Clear, precise written communication
- A real willingness to learn, take feedback and improve
- The confidence to ask questions rather than guess
Nice to have (we'll help you develop these)
- Agile / sprint delivery awareness
- Test management and defect-tracking tools
- Any exposure to automation or tools like Playwright

- Fast-growing company with real self-development opportunities — we fund exams for Microsoft and Anthropic Academy
- Encouraging, welcoming, modern workplace with great camaraderie and subsidised events and activities
The essentials
