About the role
IQGeo is seeking Senior Test Automation Engineers / Senior Software Development Engineers in Test to help move quality assurance to being majority-automated. These roles span Platform Shared Services and Engineering Infrastructure teams. You will play a key role in developing and maintaining comprehensive automated test suites, with manual testing only where automation is not practical.
Key responsibilities
• Ensure that our enterprise applications are delivered with the appropriate level of quality.
• Capture the requirements and acceptance criteria of newly developed functionality in test cases, and manage the overall inventory of test cases to ensure it remains up to date.
• Minimise the need for manual testing by transforming suitable test cases into automated tests.
• Collaborate with Product Management on refining feature requests, ensuring testability stays top of mind when transforming requirements to implementation.
• Conduct manual exploratory and regression testing when automation is not practical or timing demands it.
• Use AI to generate initial test suites from BDD acceptance criteria, reviewing and refining AI-generated tests for behavioural accuracy before committing them.
• Define and maintain AI-assisted testing standards for the team, including prompt templates for test generation and quality criteria for AI-generated test coverage.
• Apply AI tools to accelerate coverage gap analysis, defect triage, and test case documentation.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to Test Automation Engineers on best practices and tooling.
• Participate in an on-call rotation.

• Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, security, performance and maintainability.
• Experience using AI to generate and maintain automated unit, API and integration tests.
• Demonstrated ability to work with AI agents while retaining full engineering ownership and accountability.
