Shape the future of testing in one of Manchester’s standout SaaS companies.
Some roles are just jobs. This one isn’t.
You’ll be joining a product-led SaaS innovator that’s transforming how businesses operate across the UK and Europe. Trusted by over 300,000 users, awarded multiple industry accolades, and boasting a 4.9★ Google rating, they’re growing fast — and they need a Senior SDET who can elevate quality, automation, and testing excellence across their platform.
This isn’t “QA on the side.” This is embedded, hands-on, and strategic. You’ll influence the quality culture, shape frameworks, and ensure every release is rock solid.
What you’ll be doing:
- Collaborating with QA and Dev teams to create scalable, reliable automation frameworks (Playwright preferred, Cypress also welcome).
- Defining test strategies, tooling, and processes that make releases seamless.
- Mentoring junior testers and becoming the go-to automation expert.
- Driving a quality-first mindset in a team that lives and breathes engineering excellence.
Tech Snapshot:
- Playwright | Cypress | Postman & Newman
- Azure / Azure DevOps
- Visual Studio | Android Studio | Xcode

Your work won’t sit in a silo, you’ll see the impact of your testing every day, across a platform used by thousands, with the chance to grow your career in the UK’s SaaS heartland.
Why this one’s different:
- Be part of a high-performing, autonomous product team.
- Shape testing practices at scale in a fast-growing SaaS environment.
- Mentor, lead, and embed best-in-class automation across the business.
If you’re ready to help define what best-in-class quality looks like, this is your chance.
