Senior Test Analyst

Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Wickfield Labs builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors.

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. This hire will build out our Playwright suite and get it running reliably in CI. The right person reads acceptance criteria carefully and asks the awkward questions early. This role is fully remote within the UK. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

Main duties

• Write and maintain automated UI tests with Playwright, Cypress or Selenium WebDriver.
• Build API test suites with Postman, REST Assured or pytest.
• Verify bug fixes and sign off on releases.
• Report on test coverage, escaped defects and release readiness.
• Investigate and fix flaky tests rather than just retrying them.
• Review user stories and acceptance criteria for gaps before sprint work begins.
• Test mobile apps on real devices and on BrowserStack or Sauce Labs.
• Log, triage and track defects in Jira with severity and priority.

Who you are

• 7+ years of software QA experience, including test automation.
• Ability to write clear bug reports and test cases.
• Basic SQL for checking data in test environments.
• Patience and persistence when chasing intermittent issues.
• Experience with at least one UI automation framework.

Bonus points

• ISTQB Foundation certification.
• Contract testing with Pact.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation: £59,000 - £77,000 per annum

• Workplace pension.
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
• Long service awards.
• Annual bonus.
• Professional qualifications paid for.
• Employee assistance programme.

We may close the vacancy early if we receive a high number of applications.
