Help build the resilience behind critical digital services.

This is an exciting opportunity for a quality-minded technologist looking to develop expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas of technology: digital resilience. You'll work at the intersection of quality engineering, disaster recovery, operational resilience, and business continuity, helping ensure critical digital services remain available during outages, incidents, and unexpected disruptions.

Working alongside experienced engineers, architects, and resilience specialists, you'll contribute to failover testing, continuity exercises, and resilience validation across enterprise platforms. If you're passionate about quality, enjoy solving technical challenges, and want to develop skills that combine software testing, operational resilience, and modern engineering practices, this role offers an excellent platform to grow.

What You’ll Do

• Support testing of failover, recovery, and degraded-mode scenarios to validate application resilience.
• Execute and document IT service continuity and disaster recovery exercises.
• Record, analyse, and track test outcomes from resilience and incident simulation activities.
• Prepare and maintain test data, evidence, and traceability for resilience testing initiatives.
• Collaborate with developers, engineers, and product teams to improve service resilience and recovery capabilities.
• Flexibility to support testing activities during planned change windows, including occasional work outside normal business hours, with additional time worked compensated through equivalent time off.
• Contribute to risk and resilience discussions, helping identify opportunities to strengthen critical business services.
• Support continuous improvement of resilience testing processes, documentation, and quality standards.
• Build knowledge of industry regulations and frameworks that underpin operational resilience.

Need to Have — Your Essentials

• Strong interest in Quality Engineering, Digital Resilience, Business Continuity, or Disaster Recovery.
• Experience executing structured test cases and documenting results with attention to detail.
• Familiarity with Agile delivery environments and working within sprint teams.
• Experience using tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, TestRail, or similar QA platforms.
• Understanding of testing principles for IT system migrations and quality assurance best practices.
• Awareness of non-functional testing considerations, including security, accessibility, and data privacy.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
• Eagerness to learn new technologies, tools, and resilience engineering practices.

Nice to Have

• ISTQB Foundation certification (or equivalent QA knowledge).
• Knowledge of disaster recovery, service continuity, or operational resilience testing.
• Familiarity with resilience testing scenarios such as failover, recovery, and degraded operations.
• Awareness of regulatory frameworks such as DORA, ISO 22301, or similar resilience standards.
• Exposure to CI/CD practices and modern test automation approaches.
• Interest in emerging testing technologies, including AI and machine learning-assisted quality engineering.
• Experience supporting audit evidence, logging, or test traceability activities.

Why You’ll Love This Role

Because resilience has become one of the most important challenges facing modern organisations.

You'll help ensure critical digital services remain available when they matter most.

This role gives you the opportunity to build specialist expertise in digital resilience while working with modern engineering teams, enterprise-scale platforms, and evolving regulatory frameworks. You'll gain exposure to disaster recovery, operational resilience, quality engineering, and risk management, all while developing skills that are increasingly in demand across the technology industry.
