Job description

The Quality Engineer is an embedded member of a cross‑functional engineering team responsible for enabling high‑quality delivery through test automation, quality‑focused engineering practices, and early defect prevention. Rather than acting as a gatekeeper, this role partners with developers, product managers, and designers to build quality into the product from the start.

What you'll be doing

• Collaborate with developers to design testable solutions and integrate testing into development workflows.
• Build, maintain, and improve automated test suites (unit, integration, API, E2E, performance where appropriate).
• Develop and maintain testing frameworks/tools that improve speed, stability, and developer experience.
• Embrace and spread shift‑left testing practices — early identification and prevention of defects.
• Support teams in writing Acceptance Tests and improving acceptance criteria clarity.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable feedback loops.
• Analyse test failures, identify root causes, and partner with the team to resolve issues early.

What we're looking for in you

Technical

• Strong experience with automated testing: API, UI, integration, acceptance, unit.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, Java, C#, etc.).
• Able to work in TDD / BDD using Mocks on production code
• Hands‑on experience with modern automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress etc.).
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins etc.).
• Familiarity with microservices, cloud environments, and containerisation (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Awareness of non‑functional requirements (e.g. security, performance etc.).

Quality Practices

• Workshop facilitation (3 Amigos, Example Mapping etc.).
• Write well defined Acceptance Criterias with cross‑functional collaboration.
• Strong understanding of testing principles, exploratory testing, and test design.
• Shift-Left experience, preventing defects via early collaboration and specification refinement.

Soft Skills

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Proactive, curious, and able to challenge assumptions constructively.
• Continuous improvement mindset
