Software Engineer in Test, ToolChain QE

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential gaming technology organization seeking a Software Engineer in Test to join their ToolChain Quality Engineering team in Bristol. In this role, you'll develop tests, tools, automation, and infrastructure that ensure the quality of critical development toolchain software.

Your day-to-day work will include:

• Collaborating with development teams to design and implement tests, tooling, and test systems for new features, integrating quality into the development process from the start
• Designing and developing internal tools that improve test execution, diagnostics, reporting, workflow efficiency, and developer feedback
• Contributing to testing tools and frameworks, improving validation processes and helping teams understand quality risks more quickly
• Maintaining and improving test jobs on Jenkins CI systems, ensuring reliable execution and useful feedback while identifying performance improvement opportunities
• Writing Python-based automation and scripts to support testing, analysis, reporting, environment setup, diagnostics, and workflow improvements
• Analysing automated test results to identify failures, patterns, trends, and areas where testing, tooling, or infrastructure could be improved
• Investigating issues across test, build, tooling, and execution environments, determining whether failures relate to product changes, test issues, infrastructure problems, or environmental factors
• Supporting improvements to testability and diagnostics, making it easier for teams to understand failures and act on quality signals
• Participating in code and documentation reviews, offering feedback to improve test coverage, code quality, maintainability, and development workflows
• Learning and applying Quality Engineering practices, including risk-based thinking, automation design, test effectiveness, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• A BSc in a relevant technical or scientific field such as Computer Science, Engineering, or Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience demonstrating appropriate technical skills
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with the ability to design, implement, debug, and maintain code used for testing, tooling, automation, or infrastructure
• Understanding of software testing techniques, whether gained through academic coursework, personal projects, internships, or professional experience
• Interest in Quality Engineering, including how testing, automation, tooling, diagnostics, and good engineering practices help teams deliver better software
• Ability to write and maintain unit and system tests for software applications, ensuring quality and reliability
• Proficiency in scripting languages, particularly Python, to automate test cases, workflows, analysis, diagnostics, or reporting
• Ability to build practical tools or automation, from small scripts that eliminate repeated effort to more structured internal tooling
• An analytical approach to problem-solving, with the ability to investigate failures, understand patterns, and ask good questions when causes are unclear
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical information in writing and verbally to team members with varying expertise levels
• Collaborative mindset, capable of building strong working relationships across teams
• A learning mindset, with enthusiasm for developing technical skills, testing knowledge, and quality engineering judgement

Nice to have:

• Experience in triaging software bugs and collaborating with development teams
• Experience testing released software products, particularly developer tools, compilers, SDKs, or similar platforms
• Familiarity with advanced software testing techniques, such as coverage-directed fuzzing, property-based testing, static analysis, or using sanitizers
• Practical knowledge of a system-level language such as C++ and the ability to navigate or test large codebases
• Experience with CI/CD systems, especially Jenkins or similar platforms
• Experience developing internal engineering tools, test utilities, dashboards, reporting tools, or diagnostic helpers
• Experience improving test reliability, maintainability, or reporting, including reducing flaky tests or improving failure diagnostics
