Waracle are looking for a Senior QA Engineer for an exciting new role joining our world-class digital technology consultancy and home to a diverse, smart, curious and ambitious community of specialists in technology-driven transformation.
We work with ambitious clients to help them solve their biggest business and customer challenges. We help our clients to innovate and create intelligent digital products and services. We thrive on complex challenges and deliver business-critical IT transformation projects, moving seamlessly from strategy, design and delivery to operations.
This is a short term contract position (3 months) and requires hybrid working from our Glasgow office.
Role
We are seeking a highly experienced QA professional with a balanced skill set in manual and automation testing, a strategic mindset, and a passion for delivering high-quality software. You will work on a high-impact project focusing on maintaining regression coverage, enhancing test automation suites, and collaborating on manual testing activities where needed. This is a hands-on role with an opportunity to influence testing strategy, tooling, and delivery practices. Youll be expected to:
Define and execute hybrid test strategies that integrate both manual and automated testing approaches.
Ensure robust coverage across functional, regression, non-functional, and security aspects.
Leverage SDLC and Agile principles to coach and support QA practices across the delivery lifecycle.
Conduct thorough manual testing of digital applications, including exploratory, functional, and non-functional testing.
Maintain and extend existing automated regression test suites using Selenium or equivalent tools.
Support test automation in pipelines, ensuring high visibility of test results and actionable feedback loops.
Own the defect lifecycle: review, triage, prioritise, and escalate defects as needed.
Anticipate risks, proactively remove blockers, and uphold test traceability and quality standards.
Liaise closely with client stakeholders and cross-functional teams to align testing efforts with project goals.
Provide clear, concise updates on test progress, risks, and results to both technical and non-technical audiences.
