About Geolytix

GEOLYTIX is a global leader in location intelligence, providing cutting-edge geospatial solutions that empower over 100 retailers worldwide to make data-driven decisions about where to open stores and optimise their networks. At the heart of our technology is MAPP, our mapping platform which is built on the open-source XYZ framework that we develop in-house.


The Role

We’re looking for a Support Test Engineer to join our growing team and play a critical role in ensuring the robustness, reliability, and evolution of the MAPP platform. You’ll be instrumental in helping us scale our development processes and quality assurance practices.


What you’ll do

  • Test new functionality: work closely with developers to rigorously test new features and enhancements to MAPP before releases
  • Beta testing: identify and prevent knock-on impacts across the platform by designing and executing comprehensive end-to-end tests
  • Write Configuration & Plugin Tests: Create robust test suites for client-specific configurations and custom plugins
  • Support Instance Upgrades: Help streamline the process of upgrading client instances to new releases of the XYZ framework, with the goal of making this process smoother and more reliable
  • Understand and optimise configuration: Gain deep familiarity with MAPP configurations to spot patterns, reduce duplication, and suggest scalable improvements across client setups
  • Develop test frameworks: build reusable testing tools and frameworks that allow configuration developers to write and run tests tailored to client-specific MAPP instances
  • Collaborate on CI: partner with the Lead Engineer and Tech Lead to improve automated testing pipelines and support our journey toward continuous integration - with better upgrade handling a foundational step
  • Optional development work: depending on interest and skill, contribute to developing new functionality and supporting tools within the MAPP ecosystem

 What we’re looking for

  • Strong attention to detail and a passion for delivering high-quality software
  • Experience with manual and automated testing in a web development environment
  • Familiarity with JavaScript and modern web development frameworks
  • Knowledge of version control systems and test runners (e.g. Jest)
  • Ability to understand complex user workflows and translate them into effective test plans
  • Experience with geospatial tools, map libraries (Mapbox, Leaflet), or data visualisation tools (bonus)

Why join Geolytix

  • Work with a small, passionate, and highly skilled team making a global impact
  • Help shape the future of a platform used by some of the biggest names in retail
  • Flexible working arrangements and remote culture
  • A supportive environment where your voice and contributions matter

Other Stuff

We are a remote-friendly team and the team are based in the UK and South Africa, so working in or near those locations or time zones is a plus.

We’re a growing company who embrace flexible working; full time or part time, family friendly hours, flexible start/finish time. Competitive salary. Interested?
