The posting

Test Automation Engineer – Newcastle upon Tyne

Who We Are

Neptune North was founded in 2024 as a joint venture between Oliver Wyman, a global leader in management consulting and part of the NYSE-listed Marsh, and Rokos Capital Management, a global alternative investment fund manager. Our people are exceptional technical experts, who thrive on exploiting leading-edge technologies to solve the most complex problems.

We provide bespoke technology solutions to businesses operating in the banking and financial services, private capital and defence industries.

Our working environment is founded on principles of trust, collaboration and shared purpose. We pride ourselves both on the high calibre of our people, and on the supportive workplace they create, where each individual is given autonomy to grow and thrive.

From our headquarters in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, we operate across our international office network. We are expanding rapidly, building teams in key markets to stay close to our clients and talent.

Our Culture

  • We are looking for exceptional talent with excellent communication skills
  • Collaboration is key, both internally and with our clients. We believe we do our best work when we are together and working hand in hand with business users
  • Curiosity is something we embrace and value highly
  • We want people who are positive and passionate, have proven problem solving capabilities, can work quickly to find solutions to complex challenges and unlock big opportunities
  • People need to be able to take ownership and be trusted to deliver, going the extra mile
  • We want people who are highly motivated and have a high desire to learn

The Team

Our mission is to deliver a trading platform to production as safely and efficiently as possible.

In collaboration with teams across the organisation, including Quants, Software engineers and Infrastructure teams, our mission is to automate, build new processes, engineer in-house tooling, and leverage existing technologies to accomplish this mission.

  • Exercising judgement and acumen to understand the true business need beyond the stated requirements
  • Challenging current systems and processes to achieve common goals through technical excellence and innovation
  • Keeping abreast of industry and technology trends that will keep us at the forefront of what is possible

What makes a great candidate

  • Pragmatism over perfection – are you someone who focuses on solving user problems rather than providing the perfect solution?
  • 8+ years experience in a relevant role.
  • Experience working with a high-level programming language such as C#, Java or Python.
  • Experience working with test automation frameworks such as Cucumber, Selenium, Playwright or Cypress
  • Excellent interpersonal skills. You will be dealing with many teams across the business.
  • Strong enthusiasm for technology and an appetite to work in a dynamic team
  • The ability to communicate clearly and professionally with our clients as well as team members
  • An Undergraduate Degree in a relevant subject

Why join us?

  • You can have an impact from day one – we empower and trust our people to leverage their skillsets
  • Work on a wide variety of projects alongside exceptionally talented people, often closely correlated to world events and trends
  • Deliver demonstrable business value working hand-in-hand with the customer
  • Learn from industry experts on how financial markets and world economies work
  • Ownership of technical products and projects – actively engage with a wide range of business functions to leverage their knowledge and exposure
  • Exercising judgement and acumen to understand the true business need beyond the stated requirements
  • Challenging current systems and processes to achieve common goals through technical excellence and innovation

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
