Are you early in your testing career and keen to work somewhere AI is already part of how testing gets done? This Analytics & Automation Test Engineer role is a chance to test data platforms, integrations, RPA and an AI agent, all in one job.

You'll be the floating tester across a Data Platforms and Analytics function, covering the middleware, data analytics, RPA and data platform teams. Rather than hand-writing every script, you'll use AI tooling to write and run tests, then apply your own judgement to validate the results.

It's a role for someone with genuine technical curiosity who wants broad exposure fast, and you'll help shape how testing is done across the department.

What You'll Be Doing

Planning and running functional, regression, integration and user acceptance testing across several delivery teams

Using AI tools, including an in-house LLM-based tool, to generate and execute tests, then checking and validating the output

Testing an internally built AI agent, APIs and end-to-end data flows, including transformations, error handling and exceptions

Validating data warehouse, lakehouse and reporting outputs built on Azure Synapse, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and Tableau

Testing UiPath RPA processes against documented business rules, covering happy paths, exceptions and performance

Writing SQL queries and lightweight Python scripts to reconcile source-to-target data and support root cause analysis

What You'll Bring

Some experience in testing or QA, or a technical background with a real interest in moving into testing

Working SQL and the ability to query relational databases

Some Python (or R) for data validation or test automation

Hands-on use of AI tools such as ChatGPT or LLM-based coding assistants, and the judgement to check what they produce

A structured, detail-focused approach and the confidence to work across several teams at once

Desirable: Playwright (especially Playwright MCP), Selenium or Puppeteer, API testing, Azure Synapse, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Tableau, UiPath, cloud platforms, a degree in Computer Science or a related subject

This role may suit candidates who have held roles including: Test Analyst, QA Analyst, Junior Test Engineer, Data Test Analyst, Automation Tester, QA Engineer, Graduate Software Tester
