Where you’ll work:

At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

Everyone belongs at OVO

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

Beyond is one of OVO’s key value propositions - a rewards and loyalty program that helps customers get more from their energy experience. Beyond offers members access to exclusive rewards, savings, and special offers, helping strengthen loyalty and engagement with OVO’s services.

This role in a nutshell:

You’ll take ownership of QA activities across multiple agile squads, with a strong focus on test automation, coordination of testing efforts, and stakeholder communication. You will manage the QA JIRA boards, help align testing with release cycles, and ensure quality is embedded in the development process.

This is a hands-on technical role with significant automation work and light coordination duties - perfect for someone who thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional team and enjoys being the quality champion on the ground.

Your key outcomes will be:

  • Design, build, and maintain automated test suites (E2E, API, UI) to ensure confidence in releases.
  • Coordinate testing activities across squads, helping plan test coverage and manage QA tasks on JIRA.
  • Update key stakeholders on test progress, blockers, and quality status during release planning.
  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to define testable acceptance criteria.
  • Contribute to CI/CD test pipelines and integrate test automation into delivery workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions).
  • Drive quality initiatives like shift-left testing, exploratory testing, and test coverage reviews.
  • Help maintain clear visibility of QA status via dashboards or observability tooling (e.g., DataDog).

You’ll be a successful Senior QA Engineer here at OVO if you…

  • Have strong experience with test automation (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, REST-assured, etc.).
  • Are confident working across web, mobile, and API test layers.
  • Enjoy collaborating with developers, PMs, and designers to drive quality early in the process.
  • Are proactive in spotting quality risks and suggesting practical improvements.
  • Are comfortable managing test plans, test execution status, and QA backlog in tools like JIRA.
  • Are excited by ownership and autonomy, and thrive in a lean, empowered team.
  • Have some experience mentoring and leading more junior colleagues.
