Infinity Works is a leading software, IT and Digital engineering consultancy. We help our clients solve hard technical problems in a wide variety of domains using a diverse set of technology stacks.
We’re looking for people with the soul of an engineer; people who’ll roll up their sleeves and get stuck into the kind of projects where others fear to tread.
It may sound daunting, but it’s fun too – we work hard, but we play hard as well. Because when we do something great, we’re not shy about celebrating it. If you’d like to read more about Infinity Works, head over to our website: www.infinityworks.com.
What does a Test Engineer do at Infinity Works?
Our Test Engineers need to have a strong technical background and proven skills within test automation from unit to UI, non functional testing and continuous integration/deployment systems but the role is neither fixed nor easy and as such it makes it an exciting and interesting challenge.
As a Test Engineer, your aim is to help improve quality and delivery of value in whatever form that takes. To do this you need to be adaptable above all, passionate about testing and able to communicate with many types of people and levels of roles. You will need to have a strong understanding of all aspects of testing and the ability to influence and improve quality at all levels of the stack.
You need to be comfortable working hands-on in a team, not just creating and executing automation checks but also teaching and coaching the team about effective test techniques, ways of building quality in and indeed what quality means. Depending on the context it could be a team struggling with quality, a team of engineers who’ve not seen what benefits a test professional can bring or a team without CI who’ve not yet made the leap to a more modern approach; along with many other variants. Equally the role may need you to work outside the team, perhaps helping an organisation adopt a sound approach to testing and explaining to senior leaders and those from other backgrounds how it could be best implemented.
To do so you should have a love of learning and problem-solving, happy to take your diverse testing and thinking skills and apply them enthusiastically but pragmatically to the context you find yourself in. You understand that quality is everyone’s responsibility and that quality is more than just testing – and you can pass this message on effectively to those you work with, without preaching nor dictating.
We’re always interested in hiring great people so if you think this role sounds like you, get in touch and we’d love to have a conversation.
