We are on a quest for extraordinary individuals who are mission driven and aspire to create a profound and positive impact in the world by addressing the skills crisis. Our dazzle of zebras is a force to be reckoned with - they possess unwavering determination, take decisive action, push boundaries with innovative ideas, and thrive in an environment that offers autonomy, trust, and accountability to deliver exceptional outcomes.
The skills crisis is a colossal challenge, one that is expected to have a greater economic impact than the COVID-19 pandemic. The shortage of skilled workers is leaving millions of positions unfilled, and this crisis has been deemed by the World Economic Forum as one of the biggest challenges of our time, second only to climate change.
The world’s largest companies are transforming into skills-based organisations to survive, but most are struggling to do so without the proper tools. That's where we come in - we have built an innovative platform for workforce management that empowers companies to make skill-based decisions and thrive.
Our existing clients have already witnessed the positive impact that skill-based decision-making has on organisational performance, diversity, culture, and management insight. We are a profitable business with several FTSE100 customers and have recently secured funding from a top European VC fund.
We are now assembling the right team to help us become the leader in the multi-billion dollar skill-based workforce planning market. Our mission is clear and ambitious - by 2033, we will surpass Workday (which has an annual revenue of $9 billion) as the most crucial HR system for the world's largest companies. In doing so, we will be driving a quarter of all people-decisions and will be making a significant contribution towards solving the skills crisis. We’d love you to join us and make a difference that will shape the future for generations to come!

The team is currently made up of our Head of Engineering, and 9 strong engineers who work across the backend and frontend. Within this role you are likely to work closely with stakeholders from the wider business too, for example collaborating closely with Product. This will be our first SDET hire within engineering, which means a really exciting opportunity to have a big impact on our ways of working and testing best practices.
Your biggest challenge is to review our current testing practices and to define our testing strategy moving forwards. Some of the challenges included in rolling out a new strategy are, the brittleness of the tests, along with the amount of time it takes to run our full test suite.
