Edinburgh Op locatie Functieomschrijving Introduction Are you an experienced Quality Engineer who wants to measurably improve software quality, reduce late-stage defects and increase confidence in releases? In this role, you ensure teams deliver software backed by clear, measurable quality signals, not only from testing, but from real system behaviour in production. You embed quality across the full lifecycle, from design (shift-left) to production validation (shift-right), and help teams build systems that remain reliable under scale, high data volume and real user traffic. You operate in a high-scale B2C/SaaS environment, where systems, integrations and data pipelines must continuously perform under load. You act as a trusted quality partner, helping teams anticipate risks early and build systems that are observable, testable and resilient by design. This is not a traditional QA role. You are not responsible for executing test cases or acting as a final gate. Instead, you enable teams to take shared ownership of quality, using data, metrics and system insights to continuously improve. As Quality Engineer, you’ll: • Reduce late-stage defects by identifying risks early, including design, data flows, integrations and scale • Increase release confidence using quality gates driven by metrics and real system signals • Ensure data pipelines, integrations and services remain stable under load and volume • Embed automated quality checks into CI/CD pipelines and enable continuous testing • Use observability, including logs, metrics and traces, to validate behaviour and detect issues in production You'd describe yourself as follows: • You have 5 years of experience as a modern Quality Engineer in CI/CD-driven environments • You design testing strategies across unit, integration, contract and end-to-end layers, based on risk • You understand how systems behave under scale, load and high data throughput • You have experience in B2C, SaaS or high-traffic environments where failures have real impact • You are comfortable working with metrics such as MTTR, failure rates and performance thresholds Compensation • Salary range approximately £47,000 to £57,000 • In addition, we offer an annual bonus About the team You will join one of our cross-functional product teams within the Technology & Digital department. These teams build and maintain secure, scalable digital platforms that support our lotteries across multiple countries. Engineers, Product Owners and Architects work closely together to continuously improve reliability, performance and user experience.
