SCAYLE stands for innovation, international collaboration, and a strong focus on data.

What drives us is the shared motivation to make an impact and actively shape the future of eCommerce.

Job Description

  • Risk & Edge-Case Analysis: Analyze product requirements and technical specs to uncover hidden edge cases, deep business logic scenarios, and potential system bottlenecks before code is written
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as a strategic bridge between Product Management and Engineering, ensuring testing aligns perfectly with client expectations and internal business processes
  • Data Integrity & Reliability: Lead testing strategies (including regression and contract testing) to safeguard the reliability of high-volume data ingestion, transformation, and distribution pipelines
  • Drive Quality Culture: Mentor other team members on QA best practices and continuously improve our testing methodologies and CI/CD pipeline integration

Qualifications

What You Bring

  • Deep Backend Expertise: 6+ years of experience in QA and test automation, with a heavy focus on debugging and validating complex REST backend applications
  • Technical Mastery: Strong knowledge of HTTP protocols, contract testing, schema validation (OpenAPI/Swagger), and ensuring backward compatibility
  • Asynchronous Architecture Savvy: Proven experience designing test approaches for background jobs, asynchronous workflows, and high-throughput data sync pipelines
  • Automation First Mindset: Proficiency with API testing tools and automation frameworks (e.g., Postman, Newman, or language-specific frameworks like Python/Java/Node.js) and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines
  • Senior Leadership: Excellent communication skills in fluent English, a proactive mindset for shift-left testing, and a track record of driving agile quality processes
