Where Product, Delivery and QA Shape Engineering Outcomes
Hiring across product, delivery and QA roles quickly exposes misalignment within teams. Ownership boundaries, delivery pressure and quality expectations are often assumed rather than clearly defined.
These roles operate alongside engineering but under different constraints. Product managers balance priorities and stakeholder input. Delivery roles manage risk and coordination across teams. QA professionals protect quality while working within tight release cycles. At MCS Group, we work with organisations building technology products that need to scale and remain stable over time.

Software Testing and QA Jobs
Software testing and QA roles vary significantly depending on delivery model, team maturity and risk profile. Some teams require deep automation capability, while others rely on QA professionals embedded early in delivery to influence quality decisions.
At MCS Group, we recruit across manual, automated and hybrid QA jobs for teams where quality is part of delivery, not a final checkpoint. These roles suit professionals experienced in working closely with engineering, product and delivery functions within live environments.

What we have achieved
Our Partnerships
The technology industry never stands still — and neither do we. At MCS Group, we recruit across every major area of tech, helping businesses in Belfast, Dublin, and across the UK and Ireland find the people who move them forward.
Opportunities With MCS Group Across the Technology Landscape
We support you through product, delivery and QA roles at every stage of your career, from entry-level positions through to senior and executive appointments. Whether you are building experience, stepping into leadership or reassessing your next move, we help you navigate opportunities across a wide range of technology specialisms.
Many product, delivery and QA professionals work closely with data, analytics and AI teams, where delivery is shaped by data quality, model performance and evolving platforms.
We support roles within data, AI and analytics environments where priorities, timelines and success measures differ from traditional application development, helping you navigate opportunities where this context matters.
Cyber security and risk-focused teams operate under different pressures, including governance, assurance and long-term resilience. Product and delivery roles in these environments often require a strong understanding of risk, ownership and compliance expectations.
We work with organisations and professionals operating within security and risk functions, supporting roles where trust, accountability and long-term impact are central.
Technology leadership environments bring a different set of expectations around decision-making, influence and accountability. Product, delivery and QA professionals often engage closely with leadership teams shaping strategy, structure and investment.
We support recruitment across technology leadership roles where experience operating across teams and functions is essential to success.
Cloud, DevOps and infrastructure teams underpin how products are built, deployed and supported. Delivery in these environments is often measured by reliability, scalability and service ownership rather than feature output.
We recruit across cloud, DevOps and infrastructure roles where understanding operational impact and long-term platform stability is critical.
Building Strong Security Teams Starts With Solving the Real Problems
We work with candidates and hiring teams to navigate role clarity, expectations and long-term fit, focusing on the practical challenges that shape successful product recruitment rather than surface-level job descriptions.
Recruitment Built on Real Role Context
Product, delivery and QA roles are often defined differently across organisations, even when job titles look identical. Hiring challenges usually stem from unclear expectations rather than a lack of candidates.
At MCS Group, our recruitment approach starts with understanding how roles operate in practice. We work with hiring teams to clarify scope, ownership and success measures before roles go live, helping ensure product recruitment decisions are grounded in reality rather than assumptions.
Supporting Hiring Across Different Team Models
Product, delivery and QA roles vary significantly depending on delivery model, team maturity and organisational structure. What works in one environment may not translate directly into another.
We support organisations hiring across a range of team setups, from early-stage product teams to complex, multi-team delivery environments. Our role is to help align hiring decisions with how teams actually function, reducing the risk of mismatch and early attrition.
Guidance That Extends Beyond the Hiring Process
Recruitment does not stop at offer acceptance. Candidates and hiring teams often need clarity around progression, expectations and how success will be measured once a role begins.
At MCS Group, we provide ongoing insight throughout the recruitment process, supporting informed decision-making on both sides. This helps candidates enter roles with confidence and enables organisations to build teams that perform effectively over time.
Reducing Risk in Product and Delivery Hiring
Product and delivery hires carry a higher level of delivery risk than many technical roles. Misalignment around decision-making, authority or accountability can impact entire teams, not just individual performance.
We support hiring decisions by identifying these risks early in the process. This includes challenging assumptions, clarifying interfaces with engineering and leadership, and ensuring candidates understand the realities of the role before progressing.
