Test Lead

Who we are

Our technicians handle onsite and remote support for medical offices, accounting firms and manufacturers on fixed monthly contracts. Birmingham Technology Group provides managed IT for offices of 10 to 200 users: help desk, patching, backups, Microsoft 365 and firewall management.

The role

We are backfilling a position after an internal move. The right person reads acceptance criteria carefully and asks the awkward questions early.

Contract role, full-time hours, paid in USD at the end of each month. Core hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM UK time. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

• Investigate and fix flaky tests rather than just retrying them
• Manage test data and environments with developers and DevOps
• Run exploratory testing on new features and document findings with clear repro steps

What we're looking for

• 7+ years of software QA experience, including test automation
• Working knowledge of CI pipelines and Git
• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and Agile/Scrum
• Ability to write clear bug reports and test cases
• Familiarity with REST APIs, JSON and tools like Postman

• Testing payment flows or other regulated software
• Performance testing and analysis
