Job Description: QA Engineer – Test Automation & AI-Driven QA

Job Purpose

As a critical member of the Technology Group, you will play a key role in the development and delivery of the ICE Digital Trade Platform (IDT)—a cloud-based system designed to digitise, automate, and streamline global trade and post-trade processes. The platform manages the full lifecycle of digital trade documents across various applications, including API services.

In this role, you will:

  • Ensure the quality and reliability of the IDT platform through test automation, certification testing, client onboarding, production support, and stakeholder communication.
  • Collaborate closely with project managers, developers, product teams, support staff, and external vendors in a dynamic environment.
  • Demonstrate awareness of emerging AI-driven QA methodologies and proactively explore opportunities to integrate them into testing frameworks and workflows to enhance efficiency, coverage, and quality assurance.

Responsibilities

  • Analyse business/system requirements and database schemas.
  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test cases.
  • Perform functional, integration, and regression testing, with a focus on APIs.
  • Write and execute SQL queries for data validation.
  • Utilise CI/CD tools, version control (Git), and automation frameworks.
  • Respond to client API queries and support client onboarding.
  • Log and track defects; coordinate client-side testing.
  • Contribute to internal monitoring tools and scripting.
  • Stay informed about environment changes and deploy applications as needed.
  • Collaborate with QA leads on complex testing strategies.
  • Develop and deliver well-written test plans and summaries.
  • Leverage AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) and agentic AI workflows to:
    • Accelerate test authoring, maintenance, failure triage, and defect analysis.
    • Review AI-generated output for correctness and quality.

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.
