Test Analyst - Systems Integration Focus Rate: £325pd (Inside IR35) Duration: 3 months initially Location: London (Hybrid, 3 days per week onsite) Are you an experienced Test Analyst ready to dive into the technical depth of systems integration? At Ten10, we are looking for a proactive, technically minded analyst to join our team on an interim basis. This role is highly focused on ensuring the quality of complex, interconnected back-end systems. The Role: Integration & Back-End Testing Specialist You will be responsible for testing and validating the seamless integration of our client's back-end systems. This role requires more than just functional testing—you must be comfortable validating data flows, connectivity, and technical integration points. We need a candidate who is naturally inquisitive, asks tough questions to challenge assumptions, and is comfortable working in a dynamic, changing environment where direction may shift. While you must be eager to learn, you need a solid base of prior experience to contribute effectively from day one. What You’ll Be Doing: Systems Integration Testing (SIT): Execute comprehensive test scripts and plans with a specific focus on end-to-end technical validation across multiple integrated systems and environments. Database Testing & SQL: Actively test databases and perform hands-on data validation. You will need to write and execute SQL queries to verify data integrity, movement, and transaction accuracy between systems. Azure DevOps Utilisation: Use Azure DevOps as the primary tool for managing test cases, logging defects, and collaborating on testing progress. Technical Validation: Focus testing efforts on the underlying technical components like APIs, Middleware, and service connectivity, ensuring reliable integration. Adaptability: Navigate and excel in a project environment that is often unstructured and rapidly changing. Proactively identify ambiguities in requirements and seek clarification. Reporting: Accurately document test results, defects, and integration risks, providing clear technical feedback to the development teams. What We’re Looking For We're seeking a skilled Test Analyst who is adaptable, technical, and ready for a challenging integration role. Key Skills & Experience: Proven experience (5 years) as a Test Analyst, with a strong focus on Systems Integration Testing (SIT). Essential: Practical, hands-on experience in back-end / technical testing, including validating data and functionality between integrated systems. Must have: Solid ability to write and execute SQL queries for database validation and integrity checks. Strong practical experience using Azure DevOps for test management and defect tracking. Comfortable working in dynamic, less-structured environments where requirements and priorities change frequently. A demonstrable track record of being inquisitive, asking clarifying questions, and digging into the 'how' and 'why' of system behaviour. Technical understanding of APIs, Middleware, microservices, or similar technical integration points. Experience working within Waterfall methodologies is preferred for this role. Ready to Make an Impact? If you are a technically focused Test Analyst with the core integration skills and the essential adaptable mindset, we encourage you to apply!
