QA Engineer (manual and automation) needed for a 6-month contract in Edinburgh.

QA Engineer (manual and automation) required for an initial six-month contract with a leading company in Edinburgh city centre to work on a large-scale critical project.

The team is small, but motivated and highly technical, and are looking for a strong Test Engineer to come in and hit the ground running, pull their weight and offer opinions into how to make the testing function more efficient. The role is fast-paced and varied and needs someone who is comfortable handling several projects at once, meaning you'll never be bored!

Moving away from only manual testing, the company have quickly implemented an automation testing function, with a focus on Agile testers who are confident in writing the code (C#) necessary for the automation testing.

One of the key aims is to continue this and help implement a sustainable automation test framework. As a result, experience creating an automation test framework from scratch is necessary.

Day-to-day duties as a Quality Assurance Engineer include writing manual and automation test scripts (and automation test frameworks) from scratch, deciding on functional and non-functional requirements as well as performing exploratory and regression testing.

You'll have most of the following skills:

** Creating automation test frameworks from scratch

** Cucumber, Selenium, Protractor

** Ideally experience with C#, but experience with other languages for automated testing

** Typescript experience would be a bonus!

** Docker

** Agile environment

** Web-based and desktop applications testing

** Cloud services experience

** Continuous testing

Please do apply and get in touch with Erin Donnelly at Cathcart Associates for more details including daily rates.

One of the most annoying elements of job seeking is wading through the constant drivel online, consisting of badly written job ads, uninspiring LinkedIn activity and recruiters who think Apache relates to a military-grade attack helicopter.

So I wanted to 'go against the grain' and write something short, snappy and hopefully interesting enough to make ou want to apply. Let's see how that goes...

An innovative and progressive IT Consulting Firm in Manchester (5 minutes from Piccadilly) is looking to recruit experienced Senior Cloud Engineers to come in and work within their expanding engineering function. They have a diverse portfolio of customers spanning multiple verticals including Financial Services, Banking, Retail, Insurance and the Public Sector, with the overriding focus being on the design and delivery of scalable Cloud solutions.

Simply put... these guys know what a good engineering house looks like and their long-term goal is to create a centre of excellence for software engineering. Sound like something you'd like to be involved in?

If the answer is a resounding 'yes' then read on...

Your responsibilities in this role would be varied, encompassing the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) with specific focus on the delivery of solutions and platforms using the latest Cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP) in a fully Agile environment, including Scrum, TDD and CI/CD.

As a Senior Cloud Engineer, you would be tasked with providing a high-level of technical leadership, getting involved in the mentoring/coaching of Junior Engineers as well as some of the software architecture. Moreover, your role would invole hands on engineering using a range of core DevOps tools/technologies including containers (Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher), CI (Jenkins, Bamboo, TeamCity), cloud (AWS, Azure) and source control management (Git, SVN, Nexus).

In return, you would be joining an organisation that genuinely invests in its employees. They offer fully expensed certifications (think Cloud/DevOps), personal/tailored training budgets and the opportunity to attend some of the largest tech conferences globally (e.g. Dreamforce, Microsoft Ignite, AWS Re-Invent) fully free of charge! Moreover, the company offer flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely, so don't be put off by the word 'Consultancy!'.

So if you like the sound of this role and have (hopefully) enjoyed reading my ad then give me a shout! I can be contacted via the following:
