SDET - Automation Testing - Permanent - Birmingham - Hybrid (2 Days in Office) - Business with purpose - Salary circa £70-75k plus a great benefits package
I'm working with a business based in central Birmingham who are looking for an SDET to join their IT development team, acting as a bridge between engineering and Test. They are at the start of their automation journey and this role needs the seniority to be able to advise and coach but without direct line management responsibilities.
It's a hands-on automation role. You'd be building and maintaining the automated test frameworks and suites that sit behind their applications and systems, covering functional, integration, regression, API and end-to-end testing, plus some performance and load testing. You'd also look after the testing side of their CI/CD pipelines.
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.
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.
Day to day you'll be in an Agile team alongside developers, BAs and project managers, getting involved early to agree test approaches and acceptance criteria, working through defects with the devs, and keeping the test documentation and evidence in order.
What they're after:
- Experience designing and building automated test frameworks for web applications, APIs and distributed systems
- Automated testing of REST and SOAP APIs
- Coding ability in Python or JavaScript - or similar coding language, they would look at Java and C# too
- SQL and relational database experience
- Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and Git for source control
- A good understanding of TDD and BDD
- Defect management, root cause analysis and test reporting
- An understanding of secure development and OWASP principles
- The ability to talk comfortably with both technical and non-technical people
