Full time
Job Title: Software Tester (with a Bit of a Developer Inside) Location: Cheltenham (Hybrid - 2-3 days in the office) Type: Full-time, Permanent Salary: Competitive, depending on experience Here's the Deal We're looking for a Software Tester who's great at spotting issues, loves making things work better, and has a growing interest in coding . You'll be testing web applications, building automated tests, and generally helping us ship solid, reliable software. But if you've also dabbled in JavaScript or TypeScript - or want to - there's plenty of room to get more involved in coding and automation. This is a testing-first role (about 65%) , but we're keen to support someone who wants to level up their programming skills over time. We're not expecting a full-blown developer - just a bit of curiosity and the willingness to learn. You'll be part of a supportive, relaxed team that works mostly from home, but meets up in our Cheltenham office 2 or 3 days a week , so we're looking for someone who lives within around 45 minutes . What You'll Be Doing Writing and running automated tests (eg Cypress, Playwright, or similar). Doing some manual testing for new features or complex areas. Working with developers to figure out what needs testing and how to catch bugs early. Writing basic test scripts or tooling in JavaScript or TypeScript - and building on that as you go. Helping us make our test processes smarter, smoother, and faster. What We're Looking For Experience with automated testing and a good eye for detail. Some basic programming knowledge (JavaScript or TypeScript is ideal), or a genuine interest in learning . A collaborative mindset - someone who enjoys working with others to get things done. Proactive, curious, and happy to ask questions or suggest improvements. Able to come into the Cheltenham office 2-3 days a week. Bonus Points For Testing web apps or APIs (and using tools like Postman). Git, CI/CD, or Agile experience. Interest in growing into a more technical or development-heavy role. What You'll Get The chance to grow your coding skills in a real-world environment. A hybrid setup with plenty of flexibility and no micro-managing. Supportive teammates who are open, easy to talk to, and happy to share knowledge. Interesting projects and a say in how we build and test things. A competitive salary, plus the usual benefits. Interested? Drop us your CV and a quick note about what you've worked on and what you're curious to learn next - we're excited to hear from you.
