The roles will initially be more focused on manual testing across a range of mobile adnd web apps, integrating with hardware and cloud based systems. The company is investing heavily in automation and is keen to bring people on board who are curious and eager to get involved with this in the future. The projects are varied and genuinely interesting, covering everything from native Android apps to hardware integrations and connected cloud services. You’ll be joining a collaborative test team made up of both permanent staff and contractors, working across multiple engineering teams.

They are  looking for people with a solid background in manual testing who, in a ideal world, also have exprience testing hardware or connected devices.  Just as important, however, is your mindset. The team values curiosity, commitment, and the drive to constantly improve.

You’ll also have the chance to support customers during acceptance, release, and deployment phases.  For those with a little more experience, there are opportunities to coach and mentor colleagues, helping to create a a culture of collaboration and advocacy for quality across the business.
 
As well as experience in manual testing, any experience working on projects that integrate software with hardware systems will make you stand out as would any experience of scripting with Python or Kotlin, and CI/CD environments such as Jenkins or GitLab.
 
This is a place where testers are genuinely valued and where you’ll have the chance to influence processes, help to champion automation, and help shape the future of testing within the company.

So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
