Job Description Summary

Job Description

Lead QA Engineer

Permanent

Location: Edinburgh or Witham (We believe in the power of in-person collaboration, and our hybrid model requires colleagues to be in the office a minimum of 40% of their time )

Closing date: 24th November 2026

We're Aegon. We're a company of ambitious, positive problem-solvers who get things done. We're a team, not a group of individuals. Collaboration is our life force and we believe it's our duty to leave things better than we find them.

We help people live their best lives. We help them with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, Investments. At Aegon, we strive in creating a diverse organisation that plays a meaningful role in driving greater equity, inclusion and belonging.

We are now looking for a Lead QA Engineer to join us in Edinburgh or Witham.

We're transforming how we deliver technology and are looking for an experienced Lead QA Engineer to help drive our quality engineering and automation-first approach.

This is a hands on technical role where you will design, build and evolve modern test automation solutions, embed quality throughout our CI/CD delivery pipelines, and champion engineering excellence across multiple delivery teams.

Initially, you'll join our Shared Services team, focusing on enhancing our existing CI/CD testing capabilities while creating new automation frameworks, tooling and quality engineering solutions that can be adopted across the organisation.

Reporting to the Principal QA Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, implementing and evolving the frameworks, tooling and engineering practices that enable teams to deliver high-quality software quickly, safely and reliably. You will be working within the Quality Engineering standards, governance frameworks and quality gates established by the Principal QA Engineer to enable consistent adoption across delivery teams.

Key Responsibilities for the role include:

  • Designing, building and maintaining scalable test automation frameworks.
  • Embedding automated quality controls and testing within CI/CD pipelines and software delivery workflows.
  • Implementing and evolving API, UI, integration and non-functional test automation solutions aligned to the organisational Quality Engineering strategy.
  • Evaluating, implementing and optimising AI-enabled testing and quality engineering capabilities.
  • Providing hands-on technical leadership through framework development, proof-of-concepts, code reviews and engineering best practices.
  • Acting as the technical authority for test automation tooling, architecture and engineering standards, developing reusable assets, libraries and accelerators for enterprise-wide adoption.
  • Coaching engineers, testers and delivery teams in modern Quality Engineering practices and supporting the adoption of automation-first delivery approaches.
  • Defining and maintaining automation architecture, design patterns and engineering guardrails aligned to the Quality Engineering roadmap.
  • Implementing and operationalising Quality Engineering standards, quality gates and governance controls established by the Principal QA Engineer.

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

  • Proven experience designing, building and evolving scalable test automation frameworks from the ground up.
  • Strong hands-on expertise designing and developing automation frameworks using technologies such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium or equivalent technologies.
  • Strong hands-on software development experience in JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Java, C# or similar programming languages.
  • Experience implementing automated quality controls within CI/CD pipelines and supporting automation-first delivery practices.
  • A deep understanding of Quality Engineering, DevOps, continuous testing and modern software delivery methodologies.
  • Experience delivering API, UI and integration test automation solutions across complex enterprise environments.
  • Knowledge of cloud platforms, modern software architectures and performance, resilience and other non-functional testing approaches.
  • The ability to provide technical leadership through framework development, proof of concepts, code reviews and engineering best practices.
  • Experience coaching and influencing engineers and delivery teams, driving the adoption of Quality Engineering principles and standards.
  • A passion for innovation, with an interest in leveraging AI-enabled testing and quality engineering solutions to improve efficiency and quality outcomes.
  • Strong market awareness and the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on technical delivery.

What’s in it for you?

  • We’re serious about your future and our enhanced pension scheme is now in place. We ask you to contribute 3% of your salary to your pension and we’ll put in 9%. If you decide to contribute more, we’ll match it up to a combined total of 20% of your salary (that’s 7% from you and 13% from us).
  • A discretionary bonus, depending on personal and company performance
  • 34 days leave per year (including bank holidays, pro-rated for part-time)

We also offer private medical cover, life assurance, critical illness cover, enhanced parental leave and a variety of lifestyle benefits to help our employees live their best lives, including retail discount vouchers, cycle2work scheme, subsidised restaurant and online GP appointments.

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.
