Lead Quality Assurance Engineer

Job description

Lead QA Engineer | Cypress & Node.js | Building the Analytics Engine for Global Credit Investors

• 3 days a week (beside Victoria Station)

The Role

In this role, you will act as the senior quality voice across a fast-scaling analytics platform used by institutional credit investors worldwide. You’ll own the end-to-end testing strategy, shape QA standards across multiple engineering teams, and ensure quality is embedded into every stage of delivery.

You’ll work in a heavily automated environment, collaborating closely with engineers, data specialists, and product to improve both internal platforms and customer-facing tools. While you won’t carry a formal “manager” title, you will operate as the de facto QA lead — setting direction, influencing best practice, and raising the quality bar across the organisation.

This is a hands-on role with genuine scope to shape how QA operates in a business automating complex credit workflows at scale.

What They’re Looking For (Non-Negotiables):

• 10+ years QA / Test Engineering experience
• End-to-end node testing
• Agile delivery experience in modern engineering teams
• Automation-first mindset with deep hands-on capability
• Experience operating as a senior or lead QA figure across multiple teams
• Confidence coordinating testing activity and advocating for quality at an organisational level

What You’ll Work With:

• Cypress automation
• End-to-end testing using Node.js
• Functional testing
• Integration testing
• Data-heavy systems and analytics platforms
• CI-driven automated test tooling

Nice to Have:

• Unit test writing capability
• Experience reviewing or enforcing unit test coverage with engineers
• Exposure to financial markets or complex data products
• Background in bonds, loans, corporate credit, commodities, or pricing data

Why Join / Projects

You’ll be joining a business building advanced analytics software designed to automate and enhance the day-to-day workflow of credit analysts. The platform is already trusted by leading investment banks, asset managers, and hedge funds, and is growing quickly as demand for smarter, faster credit insight increases.

The environment is collaborative, data-driven, and quality-focused, with close interaction between engineering, data, and product.
