Senior QA
Location: West Midlands/Hybrid
Salary: £38-£45k
About the Role
We’re seeking a Senior Test Engineer who can strengthen quality across multiple digital products, from web applications to enterprise platforms. This role suits someone who understands modern quality practices, and knows when manual testing adds the most value.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain automated tests across UI, API, and integration layers
- Improve regression coverage to support fast, confident releases
- Shape and refine testing standards across delivery teams
- Work with engineering, product, and design to define testable requirements and surface risks early
- Perform targeted manual and exploratory testing where automation isn’t suitable
- Provide clear, risk‑based insights for release decisions
- Apply security awareness (including OWASP) and support lightweight threat‑modelling
- Identify accessibility issues and test against WCAG guidelines
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.
