Quality Assurance Analyst | London | Hybrid | £450 p/d Inside IR35
Overview: An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Quality Assurance Analyst to join a global organisation operating within a complex, technology-driven environment. This role will play a key part in ensuring improvements to a critical Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) platform are reliable, accurate and fit for business use.
Working as part of an Agile Scrum team, you’ll combine hands-on manual testing with test automation, ideally using Cypress, and contribute throughout the full software development lifecycle — from reviewing requirements and acceptance criteria through to regression testing, release assurance and continuous improvement.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Review user stories, business requirements, technical designs and acceptance criteria to identify test conditions, dependencies and risks.
- Create, maintain and execute test cases covering functional, integration, regression and exploratory testing.
- Test CTRM workflows and related business processes, including calculations, data and controls.
- Design, develop and maintain automated tests, ideally using Cypress.
- Identify suitable opportunities for automation while balancing automated, manual and exploratory testing.
- Record test evidence and clearly communicate defects, risks and test outcomes.
- Work closely with developers, Product Owners and business stakeholders to reproduce issues and verify fixes.
- Participate in Scrum ceremonies including refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives.
