TXP West Midlands, England, United Kingdom
Location: Hybrid (West Midlands)
Sector: Public sector experience preferred
Permanent
We are TXP. We help businesses and organisations move forward, at pace and at scale. We believe in the transformative power of combining technology and people. By providing consulting expertise, development services and resourcing, we work closely with organisations to solve their most complex business problems.
Our work transforms organisations – and we take that responsibility seriously. We focus on success, pursue excellence and take ownership of everything we do.
But achieving that level of performance requires an inclusive and supportive working environment. We believe in the power of technology and people, and we help everyone here to succeed. At TXP, you can multiply your potential.
As a Senior QE Engineer at TXP, you’ll lead quality assurance and test automation across agile delivery teams working on complex, integrated systems. This role is ideal for someone with deep expertise in automation, performance, and security testing, who thrives in regulated environments and enjoys mentoring others. You’ll play a key role in shaping testing strategy, embedding quality throughout the SDLC, and delivering scalable, secure solutions for both internal and client‑facing projects. While SC clearance is desirable, candidates must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Design and implement test automation frameworks from scratch.
* Testing Analysis and Design.
* Drive performance, security, and accessibility testing.
* Apply TDD/BDD and shift‑left testing practices.
* Support CI/CD pipelines and mentor junior engineers.
* Collaborate in pair programming and contribute across the SDLC.
What We’re Looking For
* Strong experience in automation tools (Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber, Postman).
* Familiarity with performance/security testing (Gatling, OWASP Zap).
* CI/CD pipeline expertise and Git/GitLab proficiency.
* Cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS).
* Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG, Wave, Axe).
* Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
* Security Clearance: While SC clearance is desirable, it is not essential. Candidates must be eligible to obtain UK SC clearance (e.g. having lived in the UK for the past 5 years and no major criminal record).
What Success Looks Like
* Quality is embedded across delivery.
* Automation frameworks are scalable and effective.
* Junior engineers are growing under your mentorship.
* Stakeholders trust your assurance and insights.
* TXP continues to deliver secure, high‑quality solutions.
* 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays).
* An additional day of paid leave for your birthday (or Christmas eve).
* Salary sacrifice, matched employer contributed pension (4%).
* Life assurance (3x).
* Access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
* Private medical insurance through our partner Aviva.
* Cycle to work scheme.
* Access to an independent financial advisor.
* 2× social value days per year to give back to local communities.
