We’re looking for a QA Engineer with automation experience to join our growing QA team. In this role, you’ll work closely with senior team members to build and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks across a variety of projects. If you are a team player who is passionate about product quality, eager to learn new technologies, and understands how automated testing drives flawless digital products, we want to hear from you.
As an Automation QA Engineer, you will bridge the gap between technical requirements and product quality. You will be responsible for translating specifications into clear test scenarios, developing robust automated system and functional tests, and managing defects through to resolution. You'll also play a key role in setting up automated reporting to keep project teams informed of progress and coverage.
What you’ll be working on
Translate technical requirements into detailed, actionable test scenarios.
Develop automated system and functional tests in Java or JavaScript using frameworks like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.
Build and maintain integration tests using tools such as Postman or Playwright.
Set up automated reporting systems to track test progress, quality metrics, and overall test coverage.
Create, review, and maintain comprehensive test documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
Identify, isolate, and log defects clearly using our internal defect management tools.
Collaborate with senior team members to continuously improve automation frameworks and toolsets.
What you’ll bring to the team
You are an analytical thinker with commercial experience in test automation who thrives in an Agile development environment. You possess a solid understanding of both automated and manual testing approaches, with the confidence to manage your own workload and flag risks early. You are curious, eager to learn new toolsets, and understand how BDD and TDD principles apply to modern software delivery.
