Are you an experienced Quality Assurance Engineer with a passion for validating complex business rules, integration workflows, and enterprise applications?

Our client is seeking a Quality Assurance Engineer to validate business rule logic, document processing, integration workflows, and end-to-end business processes across a complex enterprise platform. While the primary focus of this role is Quality Assurance, it operates with the breadth and depth of a Systems Analyst, requiring an analytical mindset to understand complex system interactions, business rules, and broader application behaviour.

The successful candidate will work closely with Backend Developers on business rule validation and collaborate with the QA Lead on test suite development to ensure the stability, functionality, and effectiveness of the platform.

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute manual testing of complex rule scenarios and rule combinations.

  • Test end-to-end workflows combining all platform components.
  • Verify data consistency across system components.
  • Report defects with detailed reproduction steps and supporting context.

Collaboration & Integration

  • Coordinate with Backend Developers on business rule validation.
  • Support the QA Lead during integration testing activities.
  • Contribute test cases to the automated test suite.
  • Work closely with development teams to resolve defects and improve solution quality.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a related field.
  • Relevant cloud or software engineering certifications will be advantageous.
  • ISTQB Certified Tester or ISEB Software Testing Certification will be beneficial.

Experience & Technical Skills

  • Minimum 5+ years' experience in Quality Assurance, testing web applications and APIs.
  • Strong understanding of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies.
  • Strong manual testing and test case design skills.
  • Understanding of business rules and validation logic.
  • SQL experience for data verification and test scenario setup.
  • Basic API testing experience.
  • Experience contributing to automated test suites.
  • Strong defect reporting and root cause analysis skills.
  • Experience using Git version control.
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with development teams regarding testing findings.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell, or advanced Excel/text manipulation tools for parsing logs and preparing test data, will be highly advantageous.

Delivery Outputs

  • Business rule validation test cases and results.
  • Rule configuration test cases across multiple regions.
  • Approval workflow and authorisation test results.
  • End-to-end workflow test cases.
  • Business rule defect reports.
  • Integration workflow defect reports.
  • Test coverage for business rule validation across regions.
  • Contributions to the automated test suite.

Key Competencies

  • Ability to work within complex enterprise environments.
  • Strong debugging and root-cause analysis capability.
  • Ability to learn and navigate custom frameworks and business logic.
  • Effective communication and stakeholder collaboration.
  • Ability to balance support, maintenance, and new development activities.
  • Strong ownership mindset and operational accountability.

What's on Offer

  • Initial 6-month contract with the possibility of extension to 8 months or longer, depending on the project phase and business requirements.
  • Opportunity to work on a complex enterprise platform with a strong focus on business rule validation and system integration.
  • Collaborate with experienced Developers, QA Leads, and Solution Architects within an Agile environment.
  • Play a key role in ensuring the quality, stability, and reliability of enterprise software solutions.
  • Immediate start available, with preference given to candidates who can start immediately.
