Role: Software Tester (Manual)

Location: Nottingham

Working Model: Hybrid | 35-hour week

Salary: Up to £42k + 10% Bonus + 10% Pension ~£50k Package

Let’s cut through the noise…

This isn’t a “sit in the corner and run test scripts” kind of role.

This is for a

tester who actually thinks. Someone who challenges, improves, and spots what others miss.

You’ll be working on a modern eCommerce / logistics platform used at serious scale—touching everything from web apps to APIs and backend systems. It’s complex, fast-moving, and genuinely interesting work.

What you’ll actually be doing

Getting hands-on with manual testing across web, mobile, desktop & APIs

Designing smart test scenarios (not just ticking boxes)

Working closely with Devs & stakeholders to improve quality, not just report bugs

Challenging how things are done and helping raise the bar across the team

Tech you’ll be around

Postman (API testing)

Git / Source control

Azure DevOps (nice to have)

SQL / Database testing

Performance tools (JMeter or similar)

What they’re looking for

~3+ years in software testing

Strong experience testing web apps + APIs

Someone who understands how testing fits into the bigger picture

A problem-solver, not just a test executor

Comfortable in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

If you’ve touched automation and want to lean into it more, this is a great place to do it.

The package (this is where it stands out)

Up to £42k salary

10% annual bonus (consistently paid)

10% employer pension contribution

→ Realistically a £50k+ package

The extras that actually matter

35-hour working week

(rare these days)

1 full day per month protected for learning

Free parking

Showers onsite (ideal if you train before/after work)

Regular team socials (good culture, not forced fun)

Why this role?

Because you’ll:

Be trusted to think, not micromanaged

Work on real-world, high-usage systems

Have time to develop properly (not just squeezed in)

Join a team that actually values quality engineering

If you’re a tester who wants to step up, get more technical, and have a voice, this is worth a conversation.

We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background
