An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Quality Assurance Analyst to join a global organisation operating within a complex, technology-driven environment. This role will play a key part in ensuring improvements to a critical Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) platform are reliable, accurate and fit for business use.
Working as part of an Agile Scrum team, you’ll combine hands-on manual testing with test automation, ideally using Cypress, and contribute throughout the full software development lifecycle — from reviewing requirements and acceptance criteria through to regression testing, release assurance and continuous improvement.

- Create, maintain and execute test cases covering functional, integration, regression and exploratory testing.
- Test CTRM workflows and related business processes, including calculations, data and controls.
- Design, develop and maintain automated tests, ideally using Cypress.
- Identify suitable opportunities for automation while balancing automated, manual and exploratory testing.
- Record test evidence and clearly communicate defects, risks and test outcomes.
- Work closely with developers, Product Owners and business stakeholders to reproduce issues and verify fixes.
- Participate in Scrum ceremonies including refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives.
Essential:
- Practical experience in a software testing or Quality Assurance role within a structured SDLC.
- Strong manual testing experience, including test analysis, test case design, execution, exploratory and regression testing.
- Experience creating and maintaining automated tests, with hands-on Cypress experience strongly preferred.
- Ability to translate user stories, business requirements and acceptance criteria into clear, risk-based tests.
- Experience identifying, documenting, prioritising and retesting defects.
- Experience working within an Agile Scrum environment.
- Experience testing CTRM or ETRM platforms.
- Exposure to commodities, trading, finance, risk, operations, logistics or other financially controlled environments.
- Experience testing complex calculations, data flows, interfaces, reports and end-to-end workflows across integrated systems.
- Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript and Cypress for end-to-end, integration or API testing.
- Experience with API testing, SQL/database validation and CI pipelines.
