Senior Quality Analyst

Reporting to: Engineering Manager

Location: Remote

Salary: DoE

QA engineers at IMP sit inside cross-functional agile delivery teams. You'll work daily with Product Owners, software engineers, and AI agents. You will shape quality decisions through practices such as test planning, exploratory testing, regression testing, and quality analysis. Your findings feed directly into the team's prioritisation decisions.

IMP treats AI as a force multiplier across everything we do. The successful candidate is comfortable defining processes for agents to execute. In this role, you work as an orchestrator: directing what agents investigate, interpreting what they surface, and owning the outcomes.

• Embed in refinement to identify risks and edge cases before development begins

• Define testable acceptance criteria with Product Owners and developers

• Produce test plans that make coverage decisions explicit and reviewable

Testing & Investigation

• Run structured regression testing against completed work items and releases

• Lead exploratory test sessions, independently and alongside AI agents, to build a current picture of system quality

• Evaluate tests for the right risk, the right failure mode, and the right coverage pattern

Test Infrastructure & Enablement

• Hold shared ownership of the team's automated test coverage alongside engineers: audit what exists, identify gaps, and extend coverage at API and UI level

• Identify test data constraints that limit what can be tested; work with engineers to build the data infrastructure testing requires

• Develop the team's test frameworks and CI integration; surface structural gaps that prevent adequate coverage

Quality Advocacy & Measurement

• Classify defects, identify patterns, and surface root causes and trends to the team

• Triage quality issues from support alongside your own observations

• Maintain a running view of quality risk and feed it into the product backlog via the Product Owner

• Practical experience in test planning, exploratory testing, and test management in an modern Agile environment

• Can read, evaluate, and reason about automated test suites: coverage decisions, failure modes, and structural quality

• Analyst mindset: treats quality as information, looks for patterns, connects findings to product and process decisions

• Has a structured, repeatable approach to learning unfamiliar software systems independently — can describe the method, not just the outcome

• Collaboration: works with developers and Product Owners from the start of a feature

• Technical literacy across API and UI testing: can understand how test frameworks, infrastructure, and test data interact, identify where each is limiting coverage, and drive improvements

Desirable

• Hands-on experience authoring tests with API or UI automation frameworks

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and test infrastructure configuration

• Experience working with Claude Code or comparable AI tools

• Background working within finance systems
