About the role

We're looking for a Quality Engineer to join our Build team-someone who brings curiosity, technical rigour, and a love of solving problems with others.

This is an exciting opportunity to grow your career while working on a variety of real-world products. You'll collaborate with developers, designers, and clients to embed quality from the start-using smart testing practices to catch issues early and deliver work we can all be proud of.

What you'll be doing

• Lead QA efforts, bridging standard Web/API testing with specialised RPA (UiPath) and AI/ML model testing.
• Execute cross-squad testing for Intelligent Automation (IA) initiatives.
• Validate RPA workflows (specifically UiPath) and IDP (Intelligent Document Processing).
• Conduct API manual and automated testing.
• Upskill in AI/ML and Chatbot testing where current gaps exist.
• Work within cross-functional teams to plan, test and improve digital products and services.
• Understand systems under test and iterate on your approach throughout the project.
• Design and execute test plans using tools that fit the job-from manual checks to automation.
• Report bugs clearly and constructively, helping the team prioritise and fix issues quickly.
• Learn and apply best practices in functional, regression, and performance testing.
• Share knowledge within the team, contributing to our quality standards and continuous improvement.

We'd love to talk to you if you have

• Experience in delivering automation in CI pipelines using systems such as GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps
• Experience in automated testing frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium and Rest-Assured
• AI/ML: Experience testing AI models, Chatbots, or Machine Learning outputs.
• Cloud: AWS familiarity.
• Willingness to work in different programming languages and frameworks
• Great communication and team working skills

What we'll offer you

We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You'll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.

Our hiring process

We try to keep our hiring process clear, fair and respectful of your time. We aim to get back to everyone who applies and we will be upfront about where you are in the process.

It usually looks like this:

• Call with our Talent Acquisition Team
• Role specific capability interview

Depending on the role, we might also ask you to do a short presentation, a practical or technical task or have a values focused conversation. We will explain what is involved before anything happens.

Inclusion at CreateFuture

We believe diverse teams build better workplaces and better products. We want CreateFuture to be a place where people feel able to be themselves and do their best work.
