We’re looking for a QA Engineer who is passionate about quality and ready to make a real impact in a fast-paced, Agile environment. If you love solving puzzles, building sleek automation frameworks and working with a team that truly has your back, you’ll fit right in.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
- Modern Ways of Working: We lean into the latest tech. You’ll be building and evolving frameworks using Playwright/Cypress and TypeScript, working within a mature CI/CD ecosystem in Azure DevOps.
- A Collaborative Culture: You won’t be siloed. You’ll work hand-in-hand with Devs, BAs, and Product Owners to shape the "Definition of Done" and champion quality across the entire squad.
- Meaningful Impact: Your work directly ensures our customers (and their furry friends) have a seamless experience. You’ll have the autonomy to decide where automation shines and where manual exploratory testing adds the most value.
- Balance Matters: We work hard because we care, but we also know that you perform your best when you have a great work-life balance.
We’re looking for someone proactive and technically sharp who enjoys mentoring others. Ideally, you have:
- Automation Expertise: Proven experience building or maintaining automation frameworks from scratch (Playwright or Cypress preferred).
- API Prowess: Solid skills in API testing (Axios, Postman, or similar).
- The "Quality" Mindset: You understand the testing pyramid and apply clean-code principles (SOLID/DRY) to your test suites.
- Agile Fluency: You’re comfortable in fast-moving sprints and know how to translate technical risks into clear communication for the wider team.
- Bonus Points: If you’ve dabbled in performance testing with K6, worked in Cloud environments (Azure) or have experience in Fintech/Insurtech, we want to hear about it!
