About the role

We release often and our customers pay for licences at checkout, so a broken basket or payment step is expensive. Today our coverage is a mix of unit tests, plugin end-to-end suites and manual checks.

You would own the test strategy across two storefronts, an admin UI and a set of plugins, and build it into something the whole team relies on.

What you will do

  • Design and maintain end-to-end tests for checkout, payment and account flows with Playwright.
  • Add API and contract tests for the GraphQL and REST endpoints our plugins expose.
  • Make test results visible and actionable in CI, and keep the suites fast and stable.
  • Reproduce and characterise customer-reported bugs before they reach engineers.
  • Champion accessibility and cross-browser checks on the storefronts.

What we are looking for

  • Three or more years in test automation for web applications.
  • Solid Playwright or Cypress experience, and TypeScript or JavaScript to write tests in.
  • Understanding of HTTP, REST and GraphQL, and of how to test them.
  • A tester’s instinct for edge cases, and the patience to document what you find.
  • Right to work in the UK.

Nice to have

None of these are required. They are things that would make you productive sooner.

  • Testing Stripe or other payment integrations, including 3-D Secure flows.
  • Performance or load testing (k6, Artillery).
  • Experience with Vitest or Jest for unit-level coverage.
