Job description

Senior QA Analyst & Automation Engineer at Glasswall

We are seeking a highly skilled and technically adept professional to join our team as a Senior QA Analyst & Automation Engineer. In this role, you will leverage your strong engineering and automation background to champion shift left testing and automating quality control within the team. As a Senior Engineer, you will drive architecture and best practice for test automation tooling and implementation, and be a conjugate between Development, DevOps and QA. The software under test is an SDK.

About Us:

We didn’t start out as a traditional security product. In the beginning, Glasswall was one of only two file sanitization filters in the US Intelligence Community’s highly classified networks. We are rated #1 by the National Security Agency. We designed Glasswall CDR to protect businesses against the most advanced file-based threats. Today, we’re trusted by commercial and government organisations around the world.

In June 2025 Glasswall officially entered a new era of growth and innovation having been acquired by the leading private equity firm, PSG Equity. This marks a significant milestone for our company—one that underscores the strength of our business, the dedication of our team, and the exciting potential that lies ahead.

With PSG’s strong track record of scaling high-growth cybersecurity and technology businesses, we are better positioned than ever to accelerate innovation, expand into new markets, and deliver even greater value to our clients, employees, and stakeholders.

Cybersecurity is a mission-critical field, and we’ve always believed that staying ahead means moving faster, continually adapting to meet new challenges and investing more boldly in the future. This partnership empowers us to do exactly that - while maintaining the same leadership, values, and commitment to excellence that have brought us this far

We’re excited for what’s to come - so now is a great time for you to join us on our journey.

Inclusion:

At Glasswall we believe that diversity of people and thought are central to our purpose. We are committed to making Glasswall a company that is attractive to people of many different backgrounds. This includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under-represented in our workforce.

One of our corporate objectives is to ensure that the organisational health of the firm is highly rated by our employees. We believe that this is only possible if we promote a culture of inclusion and respect across our business. Every six months we survey employees on a range of questions relating to our organisational health. This holds a mirror-up to a business and ensures that we can focus on where we need to do better.

We have an Organisational Health Committee, which is chaired by a non-executive position. The panel has been formed to guide the leadership in taking positive action that supports a good work-life balance, family friendly relations and to be inviting to a diverse range of potential employees.

We also have a Women in Technology Group which has been formed to promote balance in the way that we communicate with, promote, encourage, and support people across our business.

The role:

Working closely with the Quality Assurance Manager, you will help to ensure that all our products are delivered on time, with quality. You will work on all aspects of our quality assurance process; from understanding system requirements and defining quality acceptance criteria, delivering and reviewing high level testing plans, through to the execution of large-scale automated testing. You will take responsibility for key QA projects and initiatives, from the initial planning stages onwards, driving them through to completion. To be successful in this role, you will need to be highly analytical, and able to keep pace with our work in a fast-paced and technical environment.

Responsibilities:

• Champion the value of test automation and shift left testing across the organization, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing between teams.
• Design and implement automated test tooling, processes and scripts for functional and non-functional testing, using appropriate frameworks and technologies.
• Collaborate with developers to promote unit testing best practices and guide them in building efficiently testable code.
• Understand current practices, identify automation opportunities, and migrate manual tests to automated solutions.
• Use AI appropriately and effectively, to enhance our quality assurance work and increase the efficiency of the team.
• Work closely with DevOps engineers to integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and establish effective test execution strategies.
• Collaborate with the product owners, to refine and prioritise internal work items in the backlog.
• Stay up to date on the latest testing trends, tools, and methodologies, and propose improvements to our testing infrastructure and tooling.
• Understand and analyse current practices, identify automation opportunities, and migrate remaining manual tests to automated solutions.
• Provide feedback to developers on code testability and suggest improvements to overall code quality.
• Analyse test results, identify trends, and provide actionable insights to stakeholders.
• Document test automation processes and best practices for future reference.
• Mentor and coach less experienced team members.

Required Knowledge, experience and values:

• A high level of proficiency in all of software quality assurance, with a strong focus on test automation for libraries and SDKs.
• Capable of designing, building and maintaining testing frameworks from scratch.
• Experience in low level programming language testing would be a strong benefit.
• Understanding and experience of unit testing.
• Good understanding of test-driven and behaviour-driven development (TDD/BDD).
• Experience with non-functional testing techniques.
• Experience working as part of a Scrum team, driving in-sprint test case development and exploratory testing.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and DevOps principles, particularly as they apply to continuous delivery of software libraries.
• Familiarity with Azure CI/CD pipelines, repositories, and their integration with automated testing.
• Cloud environments; building, deploying, and testing on these platforms.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Eagerness to learn, adapt and evolve.
• Passion for software quality, shifting it left, and shortening feedback loops.

Beneficial Knowledge, experience, and values:

• Using AI to analyse and augment testing coverage and solutions.
• Development/scripting experience in Python, with a good understanding of:
  • Object orientated programming principles, data types, built-in functions and the standard library, debugging and troubleshooting, using unittest or pytest.
• Experience with development/testing/scripting with a C# codebase.
• Skills in using Git for version control.

Work/Life Balance:

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to lifelong happiness and fulfilment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Salary and Benefits:

• Glasswall offers a competitive salary and incentives package.
• We offer flexible and remote working options, with hybrid working from our office in the Greater London area.
• Office travel and incidental WFH expense coverage.
• Private Medical Insurance including mental health support and cancer care.
• Company sponsored life, critical illness, and income protection insurance.
• Contributory pension scheme.
• Access to ‘salary sacrifice’ benefits such as Cycle to Work and Tech Schemes.

A successful candidate will live in the United Kingdom and be comfortable working from home with some meetings being held in the London office.

We encourage you to apply even if your experience is not a 100% match with the position. We are looking for someone with relevant skills and experience, not a checklist that exactly matches the job description. We want to help you grow, and in return, you help us grow into a stronger, more inclusive organisation.
