QA Engineer (Test & Automation)

Overview

Based in the heart of Manchester, Grace Media and the Betable Group is a team with knowledge and dedication to online gaming running through its DNA. It is responsible for delivering top-class online gaming experiences for customers of over 20 online casino both in Great Britain and internationally. We manage everything from cutting edge marketing to regulatory compliance, from B2B account management to financial analysis, and from customer service to payments and risk. We approach all of this with an ethos of social responsibility, invention and teamwork.

We are seeking a hands-on, mid to senior QA Engineer with strong automation experience to join our Product team. This is our first dedicated QA role, and you will be placed on Atom, our next-generation multi-tenant platform, and Brian AI, our intelligence and decisioning platform. These products are the future of the Betable Group, and quality needs to be built in from the start.

The QA Engineer will be responsible for both testing and automating: turning requirements into test plans, executing functional, regression and UAT testing, and designing and building the automation framework that underpins every release. They will provide clear test evidence and sign-off within our delivery process, working closely with our development partners, Product and Service Delivery.

The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, technically strong, comfortable building automation from the ground up, and able to balance day-to-day testing with improving how we approach quality across the team.
