Senior QA Engineer

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer who will act as the Quality Owner inside one of our product squads. This squad is a vertical, cross-functional, B2B-facing squad focused on customer integrations and feature delivery. We need someone who views “testing” not as a phase, but as a system of continuous quality assurance across the entire delivery pipeline.

Core Responsibilities

1) Full quality ownership inside the squad

• Drive quality from the earliest stages (Shift-Left)
• Active participation in 3 Amigos, Refinement, and Discovery sessions
• Collaborate with Product on shaping and clarifying acceptance criteria
• Lead Test Design, Test Strategy, and Testability discussions
• Provide transparency of quality status and risks for the squad

2) Quality Coach for the Squad

• Raise the engineering maturity of the squad in testing practices
• Promote and support practices like TDD, Pair Testing, and Impact-Based Test Design
• Challenge and improve the way the team builds and validates software
• Enable developers to test better and earlier, where it makes sense

3) Test Automation Engineering

• Work hands-on inside our Playwright + TypeScript automation framework
• Create and maintain automated UI + API test coverage
• Own test automation quality and stability for the squad (coverage, reliability)
• Integrate automation and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software testing/quality engineering
• Experience working in a product/squad / feature-team model
• Strong skills in test analysis, test design, and risk-based testing
• Hands-on experience with Playwright + TypeScript (must)
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins)
• Practical experience with Shift-Left testing (3 Amigos, TDD, Consumer Contract Testing, etc.)

Mindset

• Not a “quality police officer” — but a quality partner
• Proactive ownership: drives outcomes, not just tasks
• Critical thinking, challenge in a healthy form, can influence engineering decisions
• Product thinking — understands business context and customer value
