I'm recruiting for a remote Automation Test Engineer to join a growing client within the legal services sector.The role is fully remote, with a requirement to pop to their office in South Wales several times a year for company days. Please note we can only accept applicants based in the UK with priority given to more local candidates. You'll be part of a small, collaborative QA team (currently of one) that’s actively expanding to a team of 3. This role, alongside one other new hire, will play a key part in shaping the future of their testing practice. 
 
The company is a well-established and highly regarded legal services firm, specialising in residential property transactions. With a strong focus on innovation and technology, they’re transforming the way people experience the home-moving process.
 
This is a fantastic opportunity for a QA Test Engineer who’s confident in both manual and automated testing, and eager to have a real impact on how quality is built into every stage of the development process. You’ll be responsible for both exploratory and functional testing, while also building automation frameworks from the ground up and integrating them into a CI/CD pipeline. This is a hands-on role where your expertise will directly shape the team’s approach to testing and delivery.
 
We’re looking for someone with solid experience using Playwright/ Cypress or TypeScript s. Familiarity with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions is essential — we’re especially interested in candidates who have been actively involved in setting up or integrating automated tests into pipelines, not just using ones built by others.

Veterans in Cloud Computing: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into Cloud Careers

Introduction The United Kingdom’s public‑cloud market will exceed £45 billion by 2026 (Gartner forecast), fuelled by government digital‑service mandates, fintech scale‑ups, and the MOD’s own Cloud Strategic Roadmap 2025. From hybrid defence networks to NHS electronic health records, almost every mission‑critical workload is moving to AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). That explosive demand collides with a nationwide skills shortage—over 135,000 unfilled cloud roles in 2024, according to TechUK. Veterans already possess the security clearances, network know‑how, and operational discipline that cloud employers crave. This guide shows you how to translate your military experience into cloud‑native language, leverage Ministry of Defence (MoD) transition funding, and secure a rewarding second career (with salaries starting at £40k and rising above £100k for cleared DevSecOps leads).
