We know what it’s like to trade the world’s markets. Our team describes us as a place for the curious and the driven, and we like to do things a little differently; as a transformative global fintech we’re digital, nimble, connected, and united in our vision to create a better way to trade.\nWe thrive on progress – for our clients and for ourselves. Our organisational culture is ever-evolving, vibrant, diverse, global and results focused. You’ll find our \n700+ \nteam across \n12\n regions and \n9\n time zones.\nJob type and working arrangement \nFixed-term, full-time — maternity cover for approximately five months (22 weeks).\nThe Role\nThe \nSenior Automation QA Engineer\n is an experienced individual contributor on \nTrading App and WebTrader Next\n. They own test \nautomation architecture, CI integration, and maintainable suites \nusing Playwright (web) and Maestro (mobile) so the squad gets fast, trustworthy feedback on every increment.\nThey design automation for high-risk trading flows (auth, orders, pricing, critical calculations, upgrades), keep pipelines actionable when they fail, and partner with manual QA on clear scope boundaries. When automation cannot cover sprint risk in time, they contribute targeted manual testing on critical paths—without owning full manual regression (Lead QA \u002F Manual QA).\nRelease and sprint decisions are backed by explicit quality signals from automation—pass\u002Ffail, known gaps, flake rate, residual risk—not informal status alone.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn automation architecture and evolution for assigned epics\n: scope, environments, test data, device\u002Fbrowser matrix, and integration points (e.g. auth, pricing, orders) across web and mobile.\nDesign, implement, and maintain Playwright suites \nfor WebTrader Next and Maestro flows for the Trading App; keep tests structured for parallel execution and low flake.\nIntegrate automation into PR and trunk workflows\n (GitHub Actions); work with engineers on testability (test IDs, hooks, build flavours).\nPartner with Product and Design so acceptance criteria are automation-friendly; flag gaps where requirements omit observable outcomes.\nCoordinate with Senior (Manual) QA on what should be automated vs. remains manual; avoid duplicate ownership and unclear hand-offs.\nWhen automation cannot cover sprint risk in time, contribute targeted manual testing on critical paths—without owning full manual regression (Lead QA \u002F Manual QA).\nKeep pace inside two-week Scrum; fix or quarantine flaky tests within the sprint boundary; escalate blockers early to the Team Lead when pipelines or environments stall delivery.\nRefinement: flag automation debt and coverage gaps; propose tech tasks before sprint start.\nSprint: keep CI signal trustworthy; react to breakages from app, web, or API changes.\nPre-release: summarise automation coverage vs. scope, known gaps, and residual risk for release stakeholders.\nPost-release: drive flake reduction and concrete tooling improvements from retros.\nSupport other QA engineers extending automation through templates, reviews, and guardrails. Formal mentoring is a separate programme; this is hands-on delivery support.\nScope is WebTrader Next and Trading App automation quality and CI integration.\nTechnology and architecture context\nContext\n: WebTrader Next ships as a web client; the Trading App ships on iOS and Android (React Native stack).
