Skimlinks, a Taboola company, is looking for a QA Engineer to take a leadership role in test strategy, quality execution, and automation ownership across squads or product areas. This role is ideal for someone who is ready to shape quality processes, mentor others, and build automation that scales.
You’ll operate with autonomy, partner closely with engineering and product, and help ensure we ship software that’s not just functional — but reliable, fast, and user-centric.
Responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end quality strategy for high-impact features, services, or user flows.
- Design, build, and maintain test automation across UI and APIs using Cypress, Postman, Pytest, and Cucumber.
- Drive cross-squad testing efforts (e.g., integration testing, data validation, shared workflows).
- Work with DevOps and engineers to optimise CI/CD quality gates and feedback loops.
- Mentor engineers and conduct code/test reviews, pairing sessions, or workshops.
- Analyse flakiness, test debt, or regressions — and design solutions to prevent future occurrences.
- Define and track quality metrics, ensuring reliable release readiness.
- Propose and lead technical initiatives to improve tooling, infrastructure, or quality processes.
- Collaborate closely with Support teams to triage customer-reported issues, reproduce bugs, and ensure clear, actionable tickets are created for engineering.
- Experience in quality assurance roles, with increasing technical scope and responsibility.
- Fluent in English
- Expert-level experience in:
- Cypress, Postman, Pytest, Cucumber
- SQL-based validation and backend testing
- CI/CD tools and test integration workflows (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Demonstrated ability to lead test strategy and delivery across multiple squads or features.
- Proficient in Python or JavaScript for scripting and automation tooling.
- Strong collaboration skills across QA, engineering, and product functions.
- Experience designing shared test libraries or automation frameworks.
- Familiarity with test observability and monitoring (e.g. Sentry).
- Exposure to performance or chaos testing concepts.
- Experience in testing within microservices, containers, and cloud-native systems (e.g. GCP).
