The role of the tester is generally a dynamic and meaningful one, and this is certainly the case at Cambridge Consultants.

You will often be involved at the very start of a project, using your analytical and questioning skills to test the various concepts, requirements and user journeys even before a line of code is written.

You will work with the development team to define the direction of the testing activities and the choice of tooling. You will lead and perform testing activities on the project, adapting to the project needs and making sure that all appropriate aspects of testing are considered from functional to non-functional.

As a member of our test group, you will help to grow and evolve the group, as well as your own skills, through our community and the variety of projects you will work on.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
