A great opportunity to play a key role in a major technology transformation.

Our client is going through a significant period of technology transformation, with a number of exciting projects underway to modernise and improve their systems, applications and ways of working.

As part of this transformation, they are looking for a Senior Software Tester to take ownership of the testing approach across a varied technology landscape.

This is a role with genuine responsibility. You’ll be responsible for shaping test strategies and plans, coordinating testing activity and driving execution, while also working closely with development and technology teams to make sure quality is built into the delivery process.

You’ll oversee and coordinate the work of two testing-focused areas:

• Automation / Developer in Test – focused on automated testing across .NET and Azure environments
• Traditional QA Testing – covering functional, integration, regression and other core testing activities

You’ll provide direction and structure across both areas, ensuring testing is well planned, appropriately prioritised and delivered effectively throughout the software development lifecycle.

What you’ll be doing

• Develop and own test strategies, test plans and overall testing approaches across transformation projects.
• Coordinate and drive testing activity from planning through to execution and sign-off.
• Work closely with developers, delivery teams, business stakeholders and other technology teams to embed quality throughout the SDLC.
• Oversee both automated and manual testing activities, ensuring appropriate coverage across applications and releases.
• Provide guidance and direction to colleagues working across automation and traditional QA.
• Identify testing risks, dependencies and potential quality issues early and ensure they are appropriately managed.
• Review test results, defects and quality metrics and provide clear reporting to stakeholders.
• Support the development and improvement of automated testing approaches across .NET and Azure.
• Help establish consistent testing standards, processes and best practice across the wider technology function.
• Ensure testing is aligned with project objectives, business requirements and release timelines.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who has strong hands-on software testing experience but is also comfortable taking ownership of the wider testing approach.

You’ll ideally have:

• Strong experience working as a Software Tester / QA Engineer / Senior Tester.
• Experience creating test strategies, test plans and test approaches.
• A good understanding of the full software testing lifecycle.
• Experience across both manual and automated testing.
• Experience working alongside developers and technology teams within an Agile environment.
• An understanding of .NET and Azure environments.
• Experience working with automated testing tools and frameworks.
• Strong knowledge of functional, integration, regression and system testing.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to coordinate testing activity across multiple workstreams.
• A proactive approach, with the ability to identify issues and drive them through to resolution.

Why join?

There are SO many reasons to get excited about this opportunity - genuinely brilliant people, a fantastic culture, lots of exciting transformation happening and a team that’s collaborative, supportive and actually cares about doing things well. 

They’re at an important stage of their technology journey and you'll have the chance to make a real impact on how testing is delivered, helping to establish robust processes and standards while supporting a significant programme of transformation.

Location: Remote, UK

Are you an experienced Lead Data Engineer / Data Team Leader, or Data Engineering Manager ready to take the next step in your career?

You do not need to have held a senior management title to be considered. If you have led or mentored engineers, stayed hands-on with modern Azure data technologies, and helped take a data platform through meaningful transformation, this could be your opportunity to step into a broader leadership role.

You will join an organisation as it moves from a fragmented data landscape to a scalable, integrated enterprise data platform.

This is not a role where you will inherit a finished solution and keep it running. You will help shape the architecture, lead the technical delivery and develop the engineering capability needed to support the organisation’s future.

What’s in it for you?

• A genuine opportunity to step up from a Lead Data Engineer or similar role
• Ownership of a significant global data platform transformation
• The freedom to influence the platform roadmap, architecture and technical direction
• An existing team of six, with budget to grow to ten during the next financial year
• The opportunity to build your formal leadership experience while developing and mentoring engineers
• A role that keeps you close to the technology rather than moving you entirely into people management
• International scope, supporting users and services across APAC, EMEA and the Americas
• Exposure to senior stakeholders across technology, architecture, product and the wider business
• The opportunity to apply your expertise within an organisation whose work has a meaningful global impact

What will you be doing?

You will help lead the journey from legacy and fragmented data services to a modern, integrated Microsoft data platform.

Working across strategy, architecture and hands-on delivery, you will:

• Help define and deliver the data platform roadmap
• Design and deliver solutions using Azure Data Lake, Databricks, SQL and Python
• Lead the transformation and migration of existing systems and data services
• Translate the wider programme into practical workstreams covering migration, integration, governance, analytics and legacy retirement
• Design scalable data platforms and contribute to key architectural decisions
• Remain technically involved, providing guidance and resolving complex engineering challenges
• Lead, mentor and develop data engineers, helping to improve capability and engineering standards
• Strengthen approaches to pipelines, medallion architecture, data quality, lineage and governance
• Improve version control, branching, pull requests, CI/CD and promotion across development, test and production environments
• Help shape a resilient global support model, including coverage, escalation routes, recoverability and operational ownership
• Work collaboratively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders across a complex international organisation

What experience do you need?

The organisation is open to candidates taking their first step into a role of this scale. You may already be a Data Engineering Manager, or you could be a Lead Data Engineer, Technical Lead or Data Platform Lead who has led or mentored engineers and is ready for greater responsibility.

You must be able to demonstrate:

• Hands-on experience with Azure Data Lake
• Strong practical experience with Databricks and SQL
• Experience using Python within a data engineering environment
• Data platform design and architecture experience
• A track record of taking systems or platforms through transformation
• Experience delivering data platforms, rather than only maintaining established solutions
• Experience leading, mentoring or providing technical direction to data engineers
• A good understanding of data pipelines and medallion architecture
• The ability to move between high-level design and real-world technical delivery
• The confidence to work with a wide range of technical and non-technical stakeholders

Experience of formal line management would be valuable, but it is not essential. What matters most is that you have already demonstrated technical leadership, supported the development of other engineers and are ready to take greater ownership of people, platforms and delivery.

This is an opportunity to build on your technical credibility and progress into a broader leadership position, without losing the hands-on involvement that has made you successful.

Ready to make a difference with your expertise? If this opportunity resonates with you, *hit the apply button* today and take the next step in your career with a forward-thinking organisation committed to positive global impact.  At Tilt Recruitment, we’re here to connect the right candidates with the right roles - let’s find your perfect match.

We also offer up to £500 for every successful referral, if you know someone who matches this skill set, please let us know.
