Test Automation Engineer

Job Description

Help Shape the Future of Testing at tombola! 🚀

Our Platform Engineering team is expanding, and we’ve just created two brand new Test Automation Engineer roles. This is a brilliant time to join us as we continue to grow and evolve, building on the great work already happening across tombola, all while enjoying a hybrid setup that balances collaboration and flexibility.

If you’ve got 2+ years’ experience in test automation and a passion for doing things the right way, you’ll fit right in. You’ll collaborate across multiple Platform teams, explore new tech, and play a key role in shaping how we test and deliver our products.

You’ll be part of a team that loves working together in an amazing environment at tombola House. It’s a hybrid role based in Sunderland, with 3 days a week on site. We’re also a hands-on bunch, so every now and then you’ll jump in to help with a bit of manual testing when the team needs an extra pair of hands.
