Practices run more efficiently, vets get back to doing what they love, and pet parents feel more connected to their animals health than ever.\nThe traction speaks for itself: one of Europe's top 100 AI startups with a team of 50 people, 10x growth in twelve months, the UK market leader, and now charging hard into the US and Europe. We have $25M in funding, 2.5M+ pets on the platform, and a buzzing HQ in Paddington, London.\nThis is a rare chance to join a rocket ship at exactly the right moment and we are looking for exceptional people to help us fly it.\nIn this role, you will:\nOwn the end to end testing process for your product area alongside dev, from drafting BDD scenarios and acceptance criteria all the way through to release\n\nDecide what gets automated and build it. You are not waiting to be told what needs a test, you are making that call yourself\n\nReview AI drafted tests and catch flaky tests or visual regressions before they reach merge\n\nRun smoke tests and exploratory testing at release and be accountable for releases going out smoothly, not just for finding bugs\n\nWork directly with engineers from the start of a feature, not at the end when problems are harder to fix\n\nHelp shape how the QE function works as we build it from scratch. Early hires leave fingerprints here\n\nYour background looks something like:\n1 to 3 years of experience in a QE, SDET, or software engineering role, or a strong recent graduate with real coding experience under your belt\n\nComfortable owning both manual and automated testing end to end\n\nHands on experience with Playwright for test automation and TypeScript\n\nConfident writing BDD style scenarios from acceptance criteria\n\nGenuinely AI fluent. You use AI tools day to day, have opinions on where they help and where they fall short, and know how to review AI generated output critically\n\nMobile automation experience (nice to have)\n\nAs a person, you:\nAre proactive by nature. You see what is not working and fix it before being asked\n\nLike to innovate and try new things. You are not looking to execute someone else's process, you want to help build the right one\n\nTake real ownership of what you ship. A release going out smoothly matters to you personally, not just as a task\n\nThrive with genuine autonomy and are energised by the space to make decisions rather than slowed down by it\n\nAre excited to work in person from our Paddington, London HQ\n\nValue working with people who are kind, ambitious, and pragmatic\n\nWhat does success look like in 6 months?\nYou own the end to end testing process for at least one product area independently, working directly with dev rather than waiting to be looped in\n\nReleases you are responsible for go out smoothly and the team trusts you to make the call on what needs testing and automating without being told\n\nYou are actively contributing to moving the automation percentage up and your fingerprints are already on how the QE function works","description_format":"text","description_chars":3307,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Veterinary Medicine","Practice Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T15:57:56Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-10T06:21:00+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T04:42:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3662,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1338,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2395946},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2395946"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/lupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flupa-pets-ltd-quality-engineer"}]}
