As a Senior Test Engineer, you will adopt an engineering approach to achieving quality. You will be involved in assuring, measuring, and building quality into every phase of the software development life cycle. In doing so, you will seek to implement product level Test Engineering approaches which are in line with the portfolio Test engineering approach and QAT Test Engineering principles. You will be involved in solving engineering challenges of QAT approaches adopted in projects that you work with. This involves developing and running scalable tests and processes that are faster, frequent, and continuous. You will be expected to build relationships with Software engineering, DevOps, Product and Project delivery partners to help make sure QAT is embedded by default into the development approach. You will seek guidance and support from other members of the Test Engineering community to help develop your own technical and delivery management skills. You’ll lead the test engineering strategy for your product area, embedding quality throughout the software development lifecycle. You’ll define and implement test approaches that align with portfolio-wide standards and Quality Assurance and Testing (QAT) principles. You’ll be responsible for ensuring quality is built in from the start—measuring, assuring, and continuously improving it at every stage. You’ll stay current with emerging tools and techniques, evaluating their potential to enhance delivery outcomes. This role also involves mentoring others and actively contributing to the QAT Test Engineering community. You’ll champion the value of quality assurance across the wider Government Digital and Data (GDaD) profession, helping to shape a culture of excellence.
