Sky Betting & Gaming Hiring for Software Engineer in Test – Bet Job at Leeds, England Full Time

We work as small agile squads consisting of engineers plus other supporting roles. As a Software Engineer in Test you will be key to driving the automation test approach for your squad. In addition you will be part of a wider test community responsible for championing improvements to quality and test automation across the Bet tribe.

You will help to test industry-leading web and mobile applications, built on virtualised and cloud platforms. You will be working in teams that are evenly balanced with a mixture of specialists across front-end and back-end technologies: it’s your attitude and potential to learn and grow we’re looking for, not an oracle of any discipline or specific technology.

Every Engineer is passionate about their team and drives improvements in their discipline and the quality of their team’s systems. They share knowledge with others and are constantly learning and adapting their skills to push themselves and their team further.

We are not building a monolithic Enterprise app – think micro-services and a lean approach with quick running tests and deployment.

We operate a no-blame culture where we focus on learning from mistakes and using that knowledge to make us more effective in future.
