  • Contribute to the test planning and own the execution for assigned features or product areas, ensuring timely and high-quality releases
  • Log, prioritize, and manage defects using tracking tools like JIRA
  • Analyse test results, generate quality metrics, and clearly communicate risks and issues
  • Mentor junior QA engineers and help drive automation best practices across teams

  • Strong coding skills in Java, Kotlin, or similar languages, with demonstrated experience building maintainable test automation code

  • Experience leading test strategy for medium-to-large projects or components
  • Familiarity with tools like XRAY, TestRail, Grafana, Kibana, or Prometheus for test management and observability
  • Understanding of performance, reliability, or security testing approaches

What You'll Gain

  • Opportunities to contribute and shape the test strategy for key product components

  • Opportunities to mentor junior team members and contribute to QA best practices
  • A fast-paced, collaborative team environment with modern DevOps and agile workflows
