Software Tester (Hybrid QA / Automation)

We’re recruiting a Software Tester to join our Engineering team and help raise the quality, reliability and confidence of TeamFeePay’s product as it continues to grow.

This is a hybrid QA role with a strong focus on automated testing , while still applying pragmatic manual and exploratory testing where it adds real value. You’ll work primarily within Engineering, with some collaboration time alongside Product, helping ensure that what we ship works as expected for the people who rely on it.

Our goal isn’t to slow delivery or add process — it’s to build confidence , reduce regressions, and help the team ship better software, faster.

Company Purpose

To help communities build sustainable grassroots football clubs by revolutionising club management, finance, governance, safeguarding and communication.

We build people-first technology that reduces admin, builds trust, and supports clubs to thrive — not just survive.

Main Responsibilities

Build and maintain automated test coverage

• Create, maintain and improve automated end-to-end tests using tools such as Playwright.
• Focus on regression coverage for critical user journeys across web and mobile.
• Ensure automated tests are reliable, maintainable and provide meaningful signal — not noise.
• Work with engineers to integrate automated tests into everyday development and CI workflows.

Take a pragmatic, product-focused approach to quality

• Apply manual and exploratory testing selectively, where automation doesn’t yet make sense.
• Help the team make informed decisions about risk, quality and business value.
• Be comfortable balancing pragmatism with rigour — knowing when something can ship, and when it really shouldn’t.
• Push back when quality issues pose real risk to users, the product or the business.

Shape how quality works at TeamFeePay

• Contribute to defining and evolving our test strategy and approach as the product grows.
• Help reduce reliance on ad-hoc manual testing by increasing confidence in automated coverage.
• Work closely with engineers to improve testability and quality earlier in the development process.
• Encourage shared ownership of quality rather than operating as a gatekeeper.

Collaborate, don't operate in isolation

• Work day-to-day within the Engineering team, collaborating closely with developers.
• Spend some time working alongside Product to understand intent, edge cases and real-world usage.
• Communicate clearly about quality, risk and trade-offs without adding unnecessary process or friction.

What we are looking for

• Experience working in a hybrid QA or software testing role , with a strong automation focus.
• Comfortable creating and maintaining automated UI tests (e.g. Playwright or similar).
• Experience defining or contributing to test strategy and regression coverage .
• Able to operate independently, but values close collaboration with engineers and product.
• Pragmatic and outcome-focused — not a checkbox tester or process enforcer.
• Confident pushing back when needed, while still supporting engineering velocity.
• Equivalent experience welcomed (we’re flexible on years but expect mid-level to senior capability).

Why TeamFeePay

• A product that genuinely supports volunteers and communities.
• Real influence over how quality and testing operate in a growing engineering team.
• The opportunity to help move the team towards greater confidence and fewer regressions.
• A collaborative, product-led culture based in our Belfast HQ, with flexibility built in.
