About the Role

We are looking for a Quality Assurance Engineer to help ensure the reliability of the WTW ResQ insurance reserving product across its desktop application lifecycle. The role covers functional and regression testing, GUI testing, integration testing and support for releases and production fixes.

• Test workflows involving application interfaces, data and integrations.
• Support testing of packaging, installers, deployment and release candidates.
• Record defects with clear reproduction steps, expected and actual results, and supporting evidence.
• Work closely with engineers to investigate defects, challenge incomplete or insufficient fixes.
• Provide an evidence-based quality assessment for release readiness, clearly communicating unresolved risks and constructively challenging release decisions where the available evidence does not support an acceptable level of quality. Contribute to post-release validation and learning.
• Help identify opportunities to improve test coverage and make quality checks repeatable.
• Maintain test documentation and contribute to knowledge transfer and product documentation.
• Use approved agentic coding tools to draft test scenarios, derive boundary cases from requirements, suggest regression areas, generate test data ideas and summarize defect patterns; validate suggestions before using them.
• Collaborate with the team to ensure sustainable run of scrum ceremonies, including when needed, planning, estimation, refinement, reviews and retrospectives; facilitate follow-up and help resolve blockers.

Qualifications

• Experience in software quality assurance for business applications.
• Practical experience with functional and regression testing.
• Experience testing desktop applications and GUI workflows.
• Ability to create clear test cases and defect reports.
• Understanding of software development and release processes.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and effective collaboration with developers and stakeholders.
• Ability to use AI-generated test ideas and other AI outputs critically, verifying them against application behaviour and available evidence.
• At least 3 years of practical experience in the IT industry.

Desirable

• Experience testing WPF applications.
• Experience with Ranorex GUI test automation.
• Familiarity with SQL Server and validating application data.
• Exposure to integration testing, COM interfaces, SignalR or MassTransit.
• Experience with Azure DevOps and Git-based delivery workflows.
• Experience testing desktop application packaging, installers, compatibility or client deployments.
• Familiarity with insurance or actuarial products.
• Experience with AI-assisted test design or automated quality checks.
