QA Engineer | SaaS | Warrington | Hybrid
The Company
KDR are working with a growing SaaS business building technology used by large organisations around the world.
They’re continuing to invest in their product and engineering teams, with a particular focus on automation, AI and improving the way software is built and tested.
This is a good opportunity to join a business where QA isn't treated as something that happens at the end of development. You’ll work closely with developers from the early stages of a feature, helping shape how it’s built and making sure quality is considered throughout.
Why this role stands out:
- Work across web applications, APIs and databases rather than purely front-end/manual testing
- Get involved throughout the full development lifecycle, from initial design through to release
- Build your experience with test automation and modern QA practices
- Use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot as part of the testing process
- Join a collaborative product engineering environment where QA works closely with developers
- Plenty of scope to improve processes and influence how quality is approached across the team
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.

The Role
As a Quality Engineer, you’ll work alongside Software Engineers and other testers to make sure new features are reliable, usable and ready for customers.
You’ll carry out hands-on testing across web interfaces, APIs and databases, create test plans and get involved in automation as the team's testing capability continues to develop.
You won't just be handed finished software and asked to find bugs. You’ll be involved earlier in the process, working with the wider engineering team to understand new features, raise potential issues and help build quality in from the start.
There’s also a strong focus on using AI practically within engineering. You’ll be encouraged to use modern AI tools to help you learn, create tests faster and improve the overall QA process.
What they're looking for


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll ideally have commercial software testing experience within web-based applications and be comfortable working closely with developers.
You’ll also have experience with:
- API testing using Postman or similar
- SQL and working with databases
- Test planning and hands-on software testing
- Some exposure to test automation
- Working across the software development lifecycle
- Communicating with both technical teams and wider stakeholders
You don't need to be a fully-fledged automation engineer, but you should be interested in developing in that direction and comfortable working across both the technical and functional sides of testing.
Any experience with CI/CD pipelines would be useful, alongside an interest in using AI tools to improve testing and automation.
Just as importantly, they’re looking for someone proactive, curious and happy to take ownership rather than waiting to be told exactly what to test.
