Help build the future of AI-enabled Quality Engineering.
We're exclusively supporting an innovative software business as they continue to invest in their engineering capability and modern software delivery practices.
We're looking for a Test Automation Engineer who is passionate about quality, automation, and continuous improvement, whilst embracing AI as part of modern software testing.
This is far more than writing automated tests.
You'll help define automation strategy, improve engineering quality, and introduce AI-assisted testing techniques that increase efficiency whilst maintaining exceptional quality standards.
The Opportunity
You'll work closely with Developers, Product teams, and QA colleagues to build scalable automation frameworks that become an integral part of the software delivery lifecycle.
You'll play a key role in embedding quality throughout Agile delivery whilst exploring how AI can enhance testing, automation, and defect detection.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet ā 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.
