Job description

As a Senior Quality Engineer (Test Automation), you play a key role in ensuring the quality of our products and development processes. You help teams deliver reliable software by promoting quality-first engineering practices, designing maintainable automation solutions, coaching colleagues, and driving continuous improvement across the software development lifecycle.

You combine deep technical expertise in test automation with a strong quality mindset. You look beyond finding defects and focus on preventing them by improving processes, tooling, collaboration, and engineering practices.

You’ll join our Quality Engineering team, which builds quality into the product from the start rather than inspecting it at the end, enabling sustainable delivery of high-quality software through automation, collaboration, coaching, and continuous improvement.

You are responsible for:

• Developing and maintaining reliable automated tests using Playwright and TypeScript, and reviewing automation code to raise quality standards.
• Eliminating flaky tests and unstable environments to improve suite stability and execution speed.
• Promoting a quality-first mindset by shifting quality earlier and focusing on meaningful quality over test quantity.
• Coaching colleagues and sharing knowledge to strengthen collaboration and advocate best practices across teams.
• Challenging existing ways of working and implementing improvements that enhance product quality and processes.
• Communicating quality topics clearly across the software development lifecycle.
