A QA Engineer (manual and automation), is required to operate in a QA function within a fast growing PropTech start-up . You will be focussed on manual QA in most cases, but will also be expected to maintain existing, and to develop new automated tests in the Cypress framework whenever possible to reduce the amount of manual testing required. You should possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills and have an eye for detail. We also expect you to be a highly motivated individual with well-developed interpersonal skills.

On a day to day basis, you will be involved in the preparation of Gherkin based scenarios/test scripts and executing the scenarios using our current preferred test management tool of Cucumber Studio .
