Full Job Description

We are looking for talented individuals to grow our software delivery capability. Our scientific software solutions are relied on for their accuracy and reliability so we are looking for an additional Senior Test Analyst who, alongside their colleagues in software will act to shape the development process to ensure the quality of our products.

What can you expect?

Success in scientific software development at Lhasa necessitates both a natural curiosity in ongoing advancements and an enthusiastic approach to personal development. Continuous training will be provided to keep up to date with the latest developments. The testing experience is inherently dynamic, with each day bringing fresh challenges across a spectrum of software solutions, each characterised by its unique tech stack. As a Senior Test Analyst at Lhasa, you are not just a bug finder but an integral part of shaping testing strategies for diverse products, contributing significantly to the development of high-quality scientific software.

Drive success through collaboration

Collaboration is a cornerstone of the testing process at Lhasa. You will be working closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, product owners, scientists, application scientists, and fellow testers. This collaborative approach fosters an environment where insights from diverse perspectives contribute to the refinement of testing and the overall enhancement of software quality.

Automation is another key aspect of testing at Lhasa, playing a pivotal role in improving efficiency and expanding test coverage. Testers are actively involved in the design and maintenance of automated testing processes. The commitment to continuous improvement is embedded in the culture, encouraging testers to actively participate in initiatives aimed at refining processes and elevating the efficiency and effectiveness of testing practices across the organisation.

Each day is unique here, you may be testing, but also you could be involved in streamlining our cloud deployments, working with the Platform Engineering team, and even having the chance to write some development code if that is something you want to try.

Additionally, you will become responsible for the line management of a small number of colleagues, support their growth and development, manage their performance and help them succeed at Lhasa. Continuous training and support are provided to all line managers to ensure they are equipped and effective in carrying out these responsibilities.

  • A Commitment to live the cultural values of Ownership, Integrity, Collaboration, Diversity and Inclusivity, Curiosity and Adaptability.

  • A commitment to contribute to high-performance culture.

  • A commitment to growth and development, and a desire to expand one's own capabilities.

  • Collaborative and interpersonal communication skills allowing you to work side by side with diverse colleagues both remotely and in the office.

  • Ability to refine user stories and generate test scenarios.

  • Proven experience of writing and reviewing end to end acceptance tests using Selenium or Cypress.

  • A knowledge of non-functional testing practices including performance and observability.

  • Experience with GIT version control and familiarity with merging strategies.

  • An understanding of npm and maven package management.

  • Some experience of programming with Java and/or Typescript.

  • Ability to line manage, including supporting growth and development; performance management and career progression; change management and absence reporting.

    We create cutting-edge software technology which safeguards human health, streamlines drug development and reduces the need for animal testing.
