Senior Test Engineer – Automation-Led Quality Engineering
Hybrid | Monthly Travel on Average to Manchester, Midlands or London
We’re looking for a Senior Test Engineer with a strong automation focus to join a lean, high-impact test team delivering digital products across web and enterprise SaaS platforms. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who wants to shape quality through smart test design, solid automation, and pragmatic decision-making.
You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to reduce risk, improve release confidence, and embed quality across fast-moving delivery teams.
The Role
You’ll own and evolve automated testing across UI, API, and integration layers, balancing automation with exploratory testing where it adds the most value. You’ll support regression, release readiness, and early risk identification while helping teams make better quality decisions sooner.
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.

This role is hybrid, with anticipated around 1 day per month (could be up to 2 days a week onsite during busy periods) in Manchester, the Midlands, or London.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain automation across UI, API, and integration layers
