The Technical QA Analyst ensures that all code changes and product releases are thoroughly tested and correctly implemented before deployment. The primary goal of the role is to protect product quality by identifying bugs, usability issues, and unintended side effects early, reducing incidents in live environments.

The role also plays a key part in problem definition: working closely with end users and stakeholders to understand reported issues, reproduce them accurately, and assess their scope, severity, and root conditions.

This role is expected to grow its automation capability — moving from manual and exploratory testing towards developing and maintaining automated test scripts and frameworks that support faster, repeatable release validation.

Key Responsibilities
Testing & Quality Assurance
- Test code changes, fixes, and current features prior to release, ensuring they meet functional and technical requirements.
- Validate that deployments have been implemented correctly across environments (e.g. test, staging, production).
- Identify bugs, regressions,



and edge cases before and after releases.
- Document test results clearly, including steps to reproduce issues and expected vs actual behaviour.
- Support release sign-off by providing confidence-based quality assessments.
- Develop, maintain and execute automated test scripts and test plans to validate software functionality and regression coverage.
- Contribute to the build-out of automated testing frameworks, working towards integration within the CI/CD pipeline over time.

Issue Reproduction & Analysis
- Work with end users, product teams, and support teams to understand reported issues.
- Recreate problems in test environments to determine:
- How widespread the issue is
- Under what conditions it occurs
- Whether it is intermittent or consistent
- What makes the issue better or worse
- Distinguish between user error, configuration issues, data-related problems, and genuine defects.
- Provide structured find
