Don't Just Test Software. Engineer Confidence.
At Retail Insight, we're on a mission to help some of the world's biggest retailers make smarter decisions through data. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test to help us take our quality engineering capability to the next level.
This isn't a traditional QA role.
We're looking for someone who sees testing as an engineering discipline, loves automation, and is excited by the potential of AI to transform how software quality is delivered. You'll play a key role in building scalable test frameworks, embedding quality into our development lifecycle, and helping our engineers create better software, faster.
What you'll be doing
We're more interested in capability than ticking every box, but you'll likely bring:
- Previous experience as a Software Engineer in Test (SET), SDET, QA Automation Engineer or similar
- Proven programming skills in Python and/or TypeScript
- Experience with modern automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, PyTest, Jest or Selenium
- Hands-on experience using Generative AI tools to support software development or testing
- A good understanding of prompt engineering and AI-assisted code generation
- Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines
- Strong knowledge of testing strategies across the software development lifecycle
- Experience mentoring or supporting engineers in quality engineering best practices
