• Strong experience in automation testing, debugging, and IDE frameworks (e.g. Cucumber BDD, Junit)
• Familiarity with version control (Git), peer reviews, and CI tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI)
• A solid understanding of non-functional testing, end-to-end testing and UAT
• Strong attention to detail, organisation, and problem-solving skills
• The confidence to challenge, raise risks, and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Eligibility for SC Clearance
