The Role
Network IT are searching for an exceptional Software Tester, where you'll be hands-on in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of cutting-edge software systems.

Working closely with developers, DevOps teams, and external partners, you’ll help embed quality into every stage of the development lifecycle.

• Contribute to non-functional testing (e.g. performance, load) and DevOps practices
• Collaborate with third-party vendors and offshore teams to quality-assure deliverables
• Ensure smooth, stable software releases by identifying bugs and performance issues early

Experience

• Hands-on experience in software testing and QA
• Proficient with JavaScript or TypeScript for scripting and automation
• Strong experience in SQL/database testing
• Exposure to DevOps tools and practices
• Solid understanding of Agile methodologies and the software development lifecycle
• Analytical mindset with a keen attention to detail

Desirable Experience

• Experience with test automation tools (e.g., Playwright, Selenium WebDriver)
• Familiarity with JMeter or similar performance testing tools
• Background in system migrations or large-scale transformations
• Experience in payroll testing or working with HMRC integrations
