As we continue to scale, we’re investing heavily in our Product Engineering teams to ensure we continue delivering stable, scalable and well tested products that support care providers every day.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining automated test frameworks, contributing to testing strategy and ensuring software is delivered with stability and reliability at its core.

Alongside automation, you’ll also carry out exploratory and manual testing where needed, working closely with Software Engineers, Product Managers and other QA professionals within a collaborative product team.

We’re continuing to evolve how we build software, including the adoption of modern tooling and AI assisted development practices. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable working in this type of environment and keen to help shape how quality engineering evolves within the business.

Day to day, you’ll be:

Acting as a strong advocate for quality within the squad, helping shape testing strategy and approach
Designing, building and maintaining automated and manual test scenarios, frameworks and tools
Developing and extending automation frameworks using Playwright and Typescript
Working closely with developers and Product Managers to refine requirements, acceptance criteria and test plans
Executing automated, manual and exploratory testing across web applications and APIs

Nice to Have

Understanding of WCAG and accessibility testing
Exposure to Azure DevOps and test plans
Experience mentoring or supporting automation best practice
Experience introducing AI tooling into QA workflows
Involvement in shift left testing approaches and process improvements

Why Join PCS

You’ll be joining a collaborative engineering environment where quality is seen as a key part of delivering great products, not just a final step in the process.

This is an opportunity to work on meaningful software used daily within the care sector, while continuing to develop your automation and quality engineering skills using modern tooling and practices.

You’ll have the chance to influence testing standards, improve engineering quality and contribute to products that have genuine real world impact.
