RedQA combines senior QA leadership with specialist expertise across manual, automation, accessibility, performance, and AI testing, so you get exactly the right skills for your project without the overhead of an in-house team.

Senior engineers, always

Every engagement is handled by a senior-level QA engineer with hands-on experience across enterprise and startup environments. No juniors, no handoffs.

Specialist expertise on demand

Need Playwright automation one sprint and an accessibility audit the next? We flex to match your project needs, bringing the right specialism to each engagement.

Right skills for the job

Contractors are brought in only when a project specifically benefits from their expertise, keeping engagements lean and focused.

We have delivered QA inside some of the most demanding engineering environments, from healthcare to media to enterprise software, including BBC and Bupa.

Agile-native delivery

We embed into sprint cycles, write acceptance criteria, attend stand-ups, and report in the tools your team already uses: Jira, Linear, Notion, or your preference.

Full-stack QA capability

Manual testing, Playwright automation, WCAG audits, API testing, and AI/LLM testing, all under one roof. One point of contact, whatever the project needs.

Previously contracted at:

BBC - News API testing & automation
Bupa - AI chat system accuracy testing

I started RedQA because I kept seeing the same problem: product teams shipping bugs that thorough QA would have caught, not because they didn't care about quality, but because they didn't have access to a senior QA engineer without committing to a full-time hire.

I've spent 10+ years doing QA in environments where getting it wrong is expensive. At the BBC, I worked on the news API infrastructure that distributes stories to every channel globally. A bug there doesn't just affect one user, it breaks syndication at scale. At Bupa, I tested a patient-facing AI chat system built on ChatGPT, verifying that every response was grounded in the clinical knowledge base and not hallucinated.

Before that, fintech startups, SaaS platforms, e-commerce systems. The common thread: build a test process that finds real problems before real users do.

RedQA is a specialist engagement, not a body-shop. When you work with us, you get me or a senior engineer with comparable experience, not a junior handed a test plan. I hold PSPO I, PRINCE2 Agile, and Professional Scrum Master certifications because QA without delivery rigour is just noise.
