Junior Software Tester — Automation & IoT Platforms | Nottingham
🚀 First hire into a brand-new QA function. Real mentorship. A tech stack most testers won't touch in five years.
This is a permanent role for a junior tester with at least one year of commercial experience and hands-on automation work — joining a profitable, fast-growing tech business at exactly the right moment.
Why this role is genuinely different
Our client recently hired a QA Lead to build their testing function from scratch. You'd be the first person that Lead brings on board — meaning you'll shape the test suite, not inherit someone else's decisions. The automation framework is being built right now. Your fingerprints will be on it from day one.
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.
That's rare at junior level. Most entry roles drop you into a mature function where everything's already decided. Not here.

- Playwright (primary automation framework)
- RESTful APIs and microservices
- React front-end
- iOS and Android mobile applications

What you'll do

- Execute functional, regression, and exploratory testing across web, APIs, and mobile
- Build API test coverage into CI/CD pipelines
- Document and verify defects through to release
