With a keen eye for detail you will be able to understand and carry out business processes relating them to the testing solution. You will need to be proficient in MS Office Suite applications (MS Project, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Visio).
You will hold a number of technical certificates and ideally ISTQB Testing qualification, with a thirst to continue your career progression and a proactive approach to continued professional development.

Strong experience of leading the testing on large enterprise systems is a must. As is the ability to take lead and work with senior internal and external stakeholders. You will also have robust manual and automation testing experience as well as experience in system interaction and data migration.
These roles need individuals who understands the importance of flexibility in a small business and is able to adapt quickly and think on their feet. There will never be a dull day so you must work well under pressure. While you should never be afraid to ask for help where you need it, you will be expected to be an expert in your field!

We do this by supporting business areas in processing compliant, fast, secure, and flexible transaction management services and real time payments, and addressing rising threats from social engineering by implementing new and improved ways to meet our customer's needs. Our team As the Bank moves to building out a strategic roadmap, both from an application infrastructure and tooling, our team is embracing this and building capability to enable this transformation. The SWIFT Team is a multi-mode (agile/ DevOps/Waterfall) delivery team, supporting Category A services in Payments, Fraud and Financial Crime. About the role We're looking to recruit a Software Engineer in Test/Quality Engineer to join our SWIFT team, within our value stream, working in a highly proficient and productive engineering team instilled with a team ethos of testing and delivering high quality solutions for our colleagues and customers.

We believe that people don't fit neatly into roles, and we value everyone's individual skills, experience, and knowledge - it's what makes you incredible! Here's how you'll make a difference: Work in an agile team with colleagues from different fields, not the least software engineers and business analysts to plan and implement highly effective testing to ensure excellent delivery quality to customers.

Collaborative working with the Scrum Master, Product Owner, engineers, and business analysts building the feature team capability. What we need from you: You'll be experienced in Quality Engineering, with knowledge on the SWIFT payments and/or automation payment tools. Java experience - both technical and practical usage. You'll have a consistent track record in building, crafting automation processes and execution through sound and fully rounded engineering methods and principles. Manual and automated testing, functional and non-functional coverage as well as documentation and defect management. Experienced with SAG and GTX application or experience with testing and integration. We'd also welcome the following desirable skills: Experience in any of the following: Jenkins, BDD Cucumber, Jira/Confluence. Experience with introduction of 3rd Party packages/tools. A passion for mentoring other less experienced colleagues. Strong team spirit and taking ownership and responsibility. Experience of agile, DevOps and non-agile quality engineering practices. Together we'll make it possible... We promote an inclusive and encouraging culture - it's one of the many things our colleagues love about working with us! We're keen to support all our colleagues in finding new opportunities. Whatever your aspiration, you can also expect excellent benefits, personal development, and a career that's enriching and full of opportunity. Our team works a hybrid working pattern, and we may meet in office monthly flexibility to work from home the remainder of the time. You'll also receive a package that includes base salary: £33, 993 - £44, 130; a 4% flex benefit cash pot to spend (or take as cash), a discretionary variable performance bonus up to 20%, a generous 15% employer pension contribution, 28 days holiday entitlement plus bank holidays, private health cover, access to share schemes and staff discounts. About Lloyds Banking Group As the UK's largest retail and commercial bank, we have a footprint that touches nearly every community and household in the UK.

Protecting consumers is at the heart of what we do. Our culture is clear - we live by our values: Empowerment; Excellence; Collaboration; Agility and Respect. These define how we work to deliver our purpose, now and in the future. The behaviours which support these values set the path for a fully inclusive and innovative culture at Ofcom. We focus not only on what we do, but how we do it. We pride ourselves on being an organisation of people who genuinely care about helping others. The Data Innovation Hub works with colleagues across the organisation to improve Ofcom's capability to process, analyse and extract insights from data. For example, we crunch terabytes of data to give us an unparalleled understanding of the coverage and performance of the UK's broadband and mobile networks.
