Role

Who you are

  • Proven experience in automated testing using Java or Python, with a focus on BDD frameworks (e.g., pytest-bdd), Selenium, and Requests to test all layers of a web application, including front-end, service layer, and back-end
  • Hands-on experience with the Page Object Model (POM) to structure and maintain scalable, efficient test automation frameworks
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to identify and resolve cross-cutting issues across different layers of the application
  • Comfortable performing manual QA when needed, ensuring software quality through exploratory and functional testing in addition to automation
  • Comfortable working in cross-functional teams, collaborating closely with developers in an agile environment. We embrace Scrum methodology and team collaboration rather than handing things off, ensuring a smooth and efficient development process
  • Proficient in DevOps tools such as Git for version control, Jenkins for CI/CD, and Jira for tracking and managing testing workflows

What the job involves

  • You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining automated testing frameworks and tools that ensure the timely and safe delivery of features to the business
  • By leveraging cutting-edge techniques and technologies, you will automate previously manual testing processes, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of human error
  • Your expertise in software engineering principles and testing methodologies will enable you to identify and address potential issues early in the development cycle, ultimately contributing to a seamless user experience
  • You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, product managers, and designers, to ensure that our software meets the highest standards of quality and performance
  • Test Automation and Integration: Develop and maintain automated functional tests for front-end and back-end systems using Python, pytest, pytest-bdd, Requests, and Selenium. Integrate these tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing
  • Cross-Platform Testing and Tool Integration: Expand test automation coverage by integrating with third-party tools like Browserstack to enable testing across multiple platforms and environments
  • Collaboration and Requirement Analysis: Work closely with product managers and software engineers to understand requirements, business use cases, and translate them into effective test cases
  • Comprehensive Software Testing: Conduct a full range of software testing activities, including functional, performance, and regression testing, to ensure the quality and reliability of the software
  • Test Documentation and Improvement: Review and provide feedback on test documentation, suggest improvements, and contribute to refining testing strategies to enhance overall quality assurance practices

Our take

Brighton-based MPB’s used camera and photo equipment marketplace has been going through a period of rapid growth of late, reflecting the European used goods marketplace as a whole.

The company joins the likes of Wallapop (Spain) and Vestiaire Collective (France) in a coterie of second-hand buy & sell platforms that have risen in popularity, and received major funding as a result. While used goods platforms have always been very popular online, MPB and its ilk’s niche market approach is paying off. The public conscience surrounding sustainability and circular economies no doubt plays a role in this.

However, the main factor behind the company's sharp growth may be the rise of online content creators, which has created a greater demand than ever for quality film and photo equipment. With no sign of demand slowing for MPB’s platform, the company is aiming to ramp up operations across its locations in Brighton, Berlin, and Brooklyn, and possibly expand further afield.
