Job Description

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you'll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here's how:

We've made good progress on the UK's path to net zero. But we can do better. Research shows that 100% renewable energy tariffs aren't actually making the grid greener. We have to go further. We need to save energy, use power at smarter times of the day and look at other ways to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint.

That's where OVO Drive comes in, it's our dedicated electric vehicle business. We already provide hardware installations, home & public charging but we want so much more, we want to build a single app experience that covers everything an EV driver could need. This role will play a huge part in that.

We work like a start up - using our entrepreneurial, OVO Way spirit to drive us forward. And we'll be flexible about how we do it - trying new things, growing the ones that work and learning new, green skills as we go.

This role in a nutshell

Sitting in the OVO Drive business this role will support the development of the wide array of products targeted at EV Drivers from end to end. This includes defining and refining the team's QA strategy, building out our test automation suite and manually testing builds.

• Setting quality standards with Software Engineers and building out the tools and processes that will ensure we meet them
• Understanding customer pain points and ways in which they can be mitigated
• Collaborate with product managers to plan and prioritise work
• Accountability for timely and reliable delivery of your work.
• Supporting the team to guarantee high system uptime and reliability
• Work alongside commercial and technical teams to ensure that we get the most value out of our work
• ...probably many more things we can't even predict at this point

You'll be a successful in this role if you...

• Take full responsibility for the product's quality from discovery through to its final release. Helping coordinate the steps needed for App Store and Play Store deployments.
• Participate in Discovery to deeply understand requirements, allowing for the creation of comprehensive and effective test cases.
• Work with the team to provide realistic QA scope and effort estimates during sprint planning.
• Help the team maintain automation test suites using Appium.
