The Role: Specialist in Back End Systems Integration
You will play a crucial role in ensuring that our client's integrated Back End systems meet the highest standards of quality. This role is highly focused on the technical depth of systems integration and requires a proactive, inquisitive approach to testing in a dynamic environment.
We need a candidate who is naturally inquisitive, is comfortable asking detailed questions to seek clarity, and can thrive in a changing, unstructured environment where priorities and direction can shift regularly.

* Database and Technical Validation: Rigorously test databases, performing hands-on validation using SQL queries to verify data integrity, data flow, and transaction accuracy across integrated systems.
* Azure DevOps & Technical Tooling: Utilise Azure DevOps extensively for test management, tracking defects, and collaborating on test scenarios.
* Technical Deep Dive: Focus testing efforts on validating the technical layers, including APIs, Middleware, microservices, and connectivity points between systems.
* Adaptability & Problem Solving: Proactively identify ambiguities in requirements, ask clarifying questions, and adapt testing approach quickly to changing project scope and unstructured direction.
* Reporting: Produce clear and concise test reports and exit summaries that accurately communicate the technical validation outcomes, integration risks, and key insights.
* Collaboration: Liaise closely with technical development teams and other stakeholders to deep-dive into system issues and verify complex integration points.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking an experienced, technically strong Senior Test Analyst who is proactive, detail-oriented, and highly adaptable.
Key Skills & Experience:
* Proven, substantial experience (10+ years) as a Test Analyst, with a significant emphasis on end-to-end Systems Integration Testing (SIT) for complex enterprise-grade systems.
* Essential: Strong hands-on experience in Back End/technical testing and validating data and functionality between integrated systems.
* Must have: Expert-level ability to write and execute SQL queries for database testing, data validation, and ensuring system integrity.
* Solid practical experience using Azure DevOps for all aspects of the testing life cycle (test case management, defect tracking, reporting).
* Demonstrable experience working effectively in dynamic, unstructured, and rapidly changing environments.
* A proven track record of being inquisitive, challenging assumptions, and actively asking questions to gain clarity on technical system behaviour.
* Strong technical understanding of APIs, Middleware, microservices, and database technologies (SQL).
* Prior experience working within Waterfall methodologies is preferred for this role.
