Job Description

Quality Engineer

Tech for Good | Edinburgh (£60,000)

NO SPONSORSHIP PROVIDED SADLY

Are you an experienced Quality Engineer who wants to measurably improve software quality, reduce late‑stage defects, and increase confidence in releases?

Our Edinburgh‑based tech‑for‑good client is building high‑scale digital platforms that make a real, positive impact. They're looking for a Quality Engineer who sees quality as a system‑wide capability, not a final testing phase.

This is not a traditional QA role. You won't be executing test scripts or acting as a gatekeeper. Instead, you'll enable teams to take shared ownership of quality, using metrics, automation, and real production signals to continuously improve how software is built and released.

What you'll do

Reduce late‑stage defects by identifying risks early across design, data flows, integrations, and scale
Increase release confidence using quality gates driven by metrics and real system behaviour
Ensure services, integrations, and data pipelines remain stable under load and high volume
Embed automated quality checks into CI/CD pipelines and support continuous testing
Use observability (logs, metrics, traces) to validate behaviour and detect issues in production
Act as a trusted quality partner, helping teams build resilient, testable, observable systems

What we're looking for

5+ years' experience as a modern Quality Engineer in CI/CD‑driven environments
Strong experience designing risk‑based testing strategies (unit, integration, contract, end‑to‑end)
Solid understanding of how systems behave under scale, load, and high data throughput
Background in B2C, SaaS, or high‑traffic environments where failures have real impact
Comfort working with quality and reliability metrics (e.g. MTTR, failure rates, performance thresholds)

Why this role?

Purpose‑driven technology with real social impact
A culture that values engineering excellence and continuous improvement
The opportunity to shape how quality is embedded end‑to‑end, from design to production
Edinburgh‑based with flexible/hybrid workingIf you're passionate about building reliable systems that matter, and want to move quality upstream and downstream-not just test at the end-we'd love to talk
