IT Quality Assurance Engineer - Supply Chain (12 Month Contract)

Dr. Martens is a globally recognisable and culturally influential British brand, with over 60 years of rich heritage. As brand custodians, we are lucky to work for a dynamic, thriving, and ethical business, with people from diverse backgrounds, who bring their true selves to work, and where anyone can grow their career.

We are guided by three core values that are at the heart of everything we do: be yourself, act courageously, and show you care. They make us who we are and inspire us to push boundaries, embrace our individuality, and stand up for what's right.

THE GIG

It is an exciting time for Dr Martens, as we continue a journey of significant growth, expansion, and improvement. The DM Technology team is at the core of this – transforming technology into a key business enabler. DM is investing heavily in technology through new system capabilities and development of skilled and experienced technologists. There is no better place for a passionate, creative, and innovative technology professional to be supported, develop, and grow.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do and our Engineers – QA work collaboratively in cross-functional agile Product Teams, alongside Business Solutions Specialists, Developers and Architects, to ensure the quality of the applications and systems that support our business.

The ideal candidate should have a strong background in quality assurance and testing (manual and automated), in the development and implementation of retail and associated software. Because we’re an omnichannel retailer this could include applications which support online ecommerce, payment, physical store, business to business operations, inventory, and supply chain management.

The key responsibility of an Engineer - QA will be defining testing scope, designing, implementing, and executing test plans and test cases, as well as identifying and reporting defects to ensure the highest level of quality for our retail applications.

As our QA Engineer you will be responsible for:

• Develop and execute automated and manual tests for comprehensive functionality validation.
• Support testing throughout the development life cycle.
• Provide regular updates on testing progress and challenges to the team.
• Address discrepancies between expected and actual results promptly.
• Contribute to test data preparation and maintenance, while advocating for best practices and staying updated on industry innovations.

THE STUFF THAT SETS YOU APART

Put simply, for this role the key things we’re looking for are:

• Experience of test automation, including test script generation in C# (or similar).
• Experience of deployment pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub, or Jenkins.
• Experience of quality assurance in an agile delivery framework, ideally Scrum.
• Experience of testing applications/platform related to retail supply chain operations like stock procurement, warehouse and inventory management, logistics, stock replenishment and customer order fulfilment.
