Quality at Blue Light Card is evolving. As we grow our engineering capability across web, mobile, data, and platform, we're building the foundations that will let every squad deliver with genuine confidence, and we're hiring a Staff Quality Engineer to help shape and drive that work.
Reporting to the Quality Lead, you'll work across both quality strategy and hands-on engineering delivery. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad cross-organisational scope. You'll spend the majority of your time hands-on, designing and building the frameworks and tooling that make it easier for every squad to deliver to a consistently high standard, working closely with Staff Engineers, Platform, and Product so that quality is built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.
It's a new role, which means you'll have genuine scope to shape it. Rather than working within one narrow area, you'll collaborate across the full spectrum of quality, from how we test our mobile apps to how we think about data and AI. If you're energised by variety, collaboration, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference to how a growing technology business approaches quality at scale, this is a genuine opportunity to do exactly that.
A collaborative approach to performance testing strategy across web and mobile platforms, including defining approaches, selecting and evolving tooling, and nurturing performance testing as a natural part of how teams deliver together
A thoughtful and well-developed approach to prioritisation, with the ability to weigh competing quality investments across multiple teams, make considered decisions under ambiguity, and bring stakeholders with you on those choices
Advanced TypeScript and Node.js skills, with a history of writing production-quality test code and automation tooling that other engineers look to as a reference, learn from, and build upon
Considerable experience shaping test environment and test data strategy in close collaboration with platform and engineering teams, including environment provisioning, data generation, masking, and lifecycle management at scale
Outstanding communication skills and a genuine talent for building trusted relationships, bringing people with you in collaborative discussions, supporting senior stakeholders with clear and structured thinking, and helping others feel confident navigating complex trade-offs
A working knowledge of AWS serverless architectures including Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, SQS, AppSync, and API Gateway, alongside familiarity with observability tooling such as Grafana or Datadog to proactively surface quality risks using production signals

We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive team where everyone feels they belong. Different perspectives and experiences help us grow, innovate, and better reflect the communities we serve.
We promote hybrid working, and value in-person collaboration so encourage time in our offices, where you can make the most of our fully stocked snack drawers – either the HQ in Leicestershire, or London, Holborn office. The frequency and office location will vary depending on the role and team. We aim to be flexible, but we aren't able to offer fully remote working.

In the event of a high number of applications, we'll prioritise candidates who meet both the essential and desirable criteria for the role.
