Position Overview & Specifications

Test Engineer
Glasgow

As a Barclays Test Engineer, you’ll be required to work across the full cycle of functional testing including creating key artefacts. You will define, and document test cases based on requirements, upgrade existing test cases to system changes, define and execute regression test cases. You’ll be able to recognize defects and issues and report proactively. You’ll develop and build re-usable tests in JIRA and possess DB concepts in creating complex SQL queries and with experience in ETL testing.



Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality, and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month, or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally can request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.

  • Developing and maintain test approach documentation
  • Analyzing change requirements that support technical testing activity
  • Defining, formulating and documenting automated test scenarios that support the end to end testing of technical/ functional changes made to the system
  • Generating test scripts/ scenarios based on scenario definitions

What we’re looking for:
β€’ Must have excellent knowledge on ETL concepts and tools
  • Should be well equipped with Jira Test and Defect Management application
  • Must possess excellent DB concepts in creating complex SQL queries and should have thoroughly worked on ETL testing
  • Create test scripts (manual and automation) & test data based on test scope defined


Skills that will help you in the role:
β€’ ISTQB Foundation Level (or above) certification
  • Experience in any BI tools testing like QlikSense, PowerBI, Tableau Reporting etc.
  • Knowledge of JIRA X-ray, Confluence and CI/CD tools
  • Awareness/Understanding of GIT, STASH, Jenkins, TeamCity, Maven


Where will you be working?
Tay House is nestled in a fantastic central city location. Our modern Glasgow Contact Centre is directly next to the M8 and a short walk from Central Station and Charing Cross train station. Tay House offers a communal coffee pod, but if you fancy nipping out we are right next to two of the main shopping streets in the city centre.
