Are you looking for work that makes a difference? Do you want to work with people who learn and grow together?

If so, Opencast could be the place for you. We’re a growing tech consultancy that creates user-centred solutions with purpose for our clients in government and business.

The role

You'll work on public and private sector projects. You may be the sole software quality engineer on a project or work in a team.

Leading by example and promoting the Opencast approach, you'll work in an agile environment across all testing types. You'll collaborate with team members, clients and users to maintain quality and follow best practice. You'll adapt to different tools and technologies, advising on the best and mentoring junior colleagues.

• concepts and benefits of non-functional testing

• continuous integration tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI or CircleCI

• basic principles of programming paradigms, such as object-orientated and procedural programming

As well as QA skills, there are essential core skills you’ll need to be a great consultant.

In the interview, we will assess how you have:

• organised your workload to ensure you're completing tasks efficiently to ensure quality is unaffected

• strong attention to detail

• a methodical approach to resolving complex problems
