Senior Software Engineer in Test (Remote) We are a B2B Fintech focusing on disrupting the small business lending market. SMEs make up 99% of all UK businesses yet are traditionally underserved by big banks and financial institutions. By joining FXE Tech, you will be positively disrupting a traditionally manual industry through the intelligent application of technology to improve the daily lives of small and medium business owners and empower them with same-day decisions in a world where they would be otherwise waiting for access to finance. Role Description We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test excited by the prospect of joining our mission to extend our SME funding platform and to beneficially transform the small business lending market. Our quality assurance (QA) team ensures the quality of the software we release is of the highest possible standard. In this role we are looking specifically for someone who can push our test and deployment automation ; simultaneously increasing the confidence we have in the quality while speeding up the time it takes for us to continuously integrate and deploy. What you'll be doing You'll work with our existing QA team to take the requirements the product team give to the engineering team, create test plans which document what testing we need to have confidence in the solution, and then perform the testing, using automation as much as possible. You'll help the other software engineers create and maintain a highly effective suite of automated tests such that the vast majority of bugs never make it past a developer's environment. You will co-ordinate releases to the sandbox and production environments (though we're on a journey to have many, software engineer driven, deployments every day). You'll look for ways for us to automate as much as possible, for example static code analysis, security testing, performance testing, as well as the overall deployment mechanism.

Senior Software Engineer in Test (Remote) We are a B2B Fintech focusing on disrupting the small business lending market. SMEs make up 99% of all UK businesses yet are traditionally underserved by big banks and financial institutions. By joining FXE Tech, you will be positively disrupting a traditionally manual industry through the intelligent application of technology to improve the daily lives of small and medium business owners and empower them with same-day decisions in a world where they would be otherwise waiting for access to finance. Role Description We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test excited by the prospect of joining our mission to extend our SME funding platform and to beneficially transform the small business lending market. Our quality assurance (QA) team ensures the quality of the software we release is of the highest possible standard. In this role we are looking specifically for someone who can push our test and deployment automation ; simultaneously increasing the confidence we have in the quality while speeding up the time it takes for us to continuously integrate and deploy. What you'll be doing You'll work with our existing QA team to take the requirements the product team give to the engineering team, create test plans which document what testing we need to have confidence in the solution, and then perform the testing, using automation as much as possible. You'll help the other software engineers create and maintain a highly effective suite of automated tests such that the vast majority of bugs never make it past a developer's environment. You will co-ordinate releases to the sandbox and production environments (though we're on a journey to have many, software engineer driven, deployments every day). You'll look for ways for us to automate as much as possible, for example static code analysis, security testing, performance testing, as well as the overall deployment mechanism.
