Software Tester (with a Bit of a Developer Inside)

Job Title: Software Tester (with a Bit of a Developer Inside)
Location: Cheltenham (Hybrid - 2-3 days in the office)
Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: Competitive, depending on experience

Here's the Deal

We're looking for a Software Tester who's great at spotting issues, loves making things work better, and has a growing interest in coding.

You'll be testing web applications, building automated tests, and generally helping us ship solid, reliable software. But if you've also dabbled in JavaScript or TypeScript - or want to - there's plenty of room to get more involved in coding and automation.

This is a testing-first role (about 65%), but we're keen to support someone who wants to level up their programming skills over time. We're not expecting a full-blown developer - just a bit of curiosity and the willingness to learn.

You'll be part of a supportive, relaxed team that works mostly from home, but meets up in our Cheltenham office 2 or 3 days a week, so we're looking for someone who lives within around 45 minutes.

What You'll Be Doing

• Writing and running automated tests (eg Cypress, Playwright, or similar).

• Doing some manual testing for new features or complex areas.

• Working with developers to figure out what needs testing and how to catch bugs early.

• Writing basic test scripts or tooling in JavaScript or TypeScript - and building on that as you go.

• Helping us make our test processes smarter, smoother, and faster.

What We're Looking For

• Experience with automated testing and a good eye for detail.

• Some basic programming knowledge (JavaScript or TypeScript is ideal), or a genuine interest in learning.

• A collaborative mindset - someone who enjoys working with others to get things done.

• Proactive, curious, and happy to ask questions or suggest improvements.

• Able to come into the Cheltenham office 2-3 days a week.

Bonus Points For

• Testing web apps or APIs (and using tools like Postman).

• Git, CI/CD, or Agile experience.

• Interest in growing into a more technical or development-heavy role.

What You'll Get

• The chance to grow your coding skills in a real-world environment.

• A hybrid setup with plenty of flexibility and no micro-managing.

• Supportive teammates who are open, easy to talk to, and happy to share knowledge.

• Interesting projects and a say in how we build and test things.

• A competitive salary, plus the usual benefits.
