Putting quality at the heart of software development
At Scott Logic, testing is not a “tick-box” exercise at the end of a project. Our test consultants are participating members of software teams, helping to deliver quality solutions and enhance client relationships. As a tester at Scott Logic, you’ll help our clients to embed effective, agile testing procedures that improve quality, speed up delivery, and build safeguards against future technology threats. Testing is a fast-growing function across our business and we are looking to grow the team significantly this year. Read more about our agile approach to software testing.

"I sent out CVs but every potential employer came back, saying: 'No, you’re not experienced enough'. I was stuck, and then Scott Logic gave me a chance. I think the company took notice of me because I was so honest about my lack of experience and stated that I just needed an opportunity to learn and prove myself."
