What the job involves

The Senior Quality Engineer is an embedded member of a cross-functional engineering team responsible for enabling high-quality delivery through test automation, quality-focused engineering practices, and early defect prevention. Rather than acting as a gatekeeper, this role partners with developers, product managers, and designers to build quality into the product from the start
Collaborate with developers to design testable solutions and integrate testing into development workflows
Build, maintain, and improve automated test suites (unit, integration, API, E2E, performance where appropriate)
Develop and maintain testing frameworks/tools that improve speed, stability, and developer experience
Embrace and spread shift-left testing practices — early identification and prevention of defects
Support teams in writing Acceptance Tests and improving acceptance criteria clarity
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable feedback loops
Analyse test failures, identify root causes, and partner with the team to resolve issues early

Our take

Documentation, clients and teams are all multifarious in legal proceedings, and therefore provide unique logistical problems. Opus 2 aims to meet the needs of the modern courtroom by providing digital solutions in an age of remote hearings.

The company provides e-bundles that seek to solve these problems. Whilst courtrooms may use existing video software to conduct hearings, Opus 2 integrates this software with other elements (such as data storage and documentation) in order to streamline the process and ultimately save time for everyone. The company offers virtual workspaces on a secure cloud platform, streamlining legal work for both lawyers and clients.

Opus 2 continually invests in developing its software in the UK and internationally and facilitates this by hiring new talent. A recent partnership with SeeUnity is set to help achieve this.
