QA / Test Engineer – Data Pipelines

SR2 is recruiting for a QA / Test Engineer who has experience testing complex, data-heavy systems at scale – rather than someone whose background has predominantly been testing web applications.
You'll be working on a highly technical product where large volumes of data are being ingested and processed, so I'm particularly interested in speaking to people who have tested high-volume data pipelines in production environments. Experience with Kafka would be great, although wider experience across streaming, ingestion or data pipeline technologies is absolutely relevant.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
There's also a big assurance piece to the role. Before software and hardware can go into the live environment, it needs to have been properly tested, evidenced and documented. You'll therefore need to be someone who is comfortable producing thorough test documentation and making sure nothing gets missed.
Requirements:
- Experience testing high-volume / high-scale data pipelines
- Production-level data ingestion or streaming experience
- Kafka experience (or other similar technologies)
- Strong systems / integration testing experience
- Comfortable producing detailed test documentation and evidence
- Someone thorough, methodical and happy working closely with technical teams
