Role: Senior QA Engineer Salary: £85,000 Total Package: £106,250 Industry: Financial Services Working Model: Hybrid (2 days onsite) About the Company Wedo has partnered with an innovative InsurTech company looking to hire a Senior QA Engineer to join their 60-strong QE community of practice. Our client is building cutting-edge software leveraging SaaS, Cloud, Data Management, Analytics, AI, and Machine Learning. This is a Greenfield SaaS solution, offering the opportunity to take ownership of test infrastructure, tooling, and services from the ground up. About the Role They’re looking for a technical QA leader with a quality-first mindset, someone who sees the bigger picture and understands the customer impact of engineering decisions. You’ll be responsible for driving continuous integration and delivery, implementing a robust testing strategy across the test pyramid, and reducing reliance on large end-to-end (E2E) tests. As the product moves into production, your focus will shift toward production readiness, owning testing across observability tooling, security validation, recovery procedures, performance & load testing, and disaster recovery planning. You’ll be the voice of risk in engineering, able to assess, articulate, and influence decisions around test-related risk, and make clear judgments on what is and isn’t acceptable. You’ll act as a quality champion: running workshops, upskilling teams, promoting best practices, influencing engineering culture, and leading efforts to increase non-functional test coverage. The right person will be equally confident in functional and non-functional areas—this is not a pure performance testing role. Experience Needed You’ve operated at a Senior or Lead level as an IC for some time and enjoy being hands-on while also enabling others. You can write code in multiple languages, ideally TypeScript, Java, or C#. Your top skill is your ability to influence, communicate, and win hearts and minds in defence of quality. You have strong experience with CI/CD, monitoring, and alerting, QEs here work closely with DevOps. You bring solid experience with Microservices and API automation at an enterprise level. You have recent hands-on experience with performance testing tools such as K6 or JMeter.
