QA Test Engineer – Full-time, Permanent
Location: Poole, Dorset (4 days per week onsite)
Salary: £35-40,000 per annum, negotiable depending on experience, plus benefits
The Opportunity:
If you work in QA, you may know how frustrating it is to be brought in at the end of a project, handed a release, and expected to find everything that could go wrong without having had the opportunity to influence it earlier.
This role offers something more involving.
You’ll join an established software company that is investing in modern development tools and testing approaches. Working closely with developers, product specialists and DevOps throughout the Agile delivery cycle, you’ll help shape test coverage, identify risks, and improve how quality is built into complex software. Not simply check it at the end.
The work spans web, mobile and API-based applications, combining thoughtful manual and exploratory testing with automation. With varied projects, technically interesting problems, and software used at scale, this is an opportunity to keep learning while making a visible contribution to the reliability, security and performance of the product.
Why This Role Stands Out:
Salary is competitive and negotiable, up to around £40,000 per annum depending on experience Annual salary reviews with regular market benchmarking Hybrid working – 1 day per week remote from home 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays Pension scheme with employer contribution and matched enhancements Health Cash Plan including 24/7 GP access, dental and optical cover Death in Service cover (4x salary) Employee Assistance Programme Paid volunteering days Discretionary bonus Comfortable, modern open-plan office Team and company social events Autonomy, trust and long-term career progression Structured training and development opportunities to help you grow Supportive, team-focused culture that values your ideas and achievements
Why This QA Test Engineer Role May Appeal
Quality is treated as a shared responsibility, with close collaboration across QA, development, product and DevOps. You’ll work across manual, exploratory and automated testing rather than being confined to repetitive regression testing. The company has ambitious plans to modernise its development tools and testing approaches, giving you scope to contribute ideas and improve how things are done. Projects vary, so you’ll gain exposure to different technical challenges across web, mobile, APIs, databases and cloud-based environments. You’ll be trusted to investigate problems properly, communicate risk clearly, and follow defects through to resolution. Structured training, development and long-term career progression will support you in expanding your technical capability. You’ll join a stable, growing business with a supportive culture that recognises ideas, initiative and achievement.
