ABOUT THE ROLE

As a QA Architect, you are responsible for how quality is built into our software across teams. Not as a final checkpoint, but as a core part of how we design, build, and ship. You set the direction for testing, automation, and risk management at a company level, helping teams move fast without compromising stability.

You don’t manage people or own deliveries. Instead, you influence how engineering teams work by shaping developing systems, standards, and a shared understanding of quality. A key part of the role is making structural quality and testing debt visible and actionable, so leadership can make informed trade-offs between speed, reliability, and long-term health.

You work closely with engineers, QA teammates, tech leads, and product leadership across squads. This is a hands-on, collaborative role for someone who enjoys shaping practices and systems, rather than running a team.

ONCE YOU ARE HERE YOU WILL

• Set a clear, pragmatic direction for quality and testing across teams
• Shift quality left by helping teams consider testing and risk during design and implementation
• Define how testing is balanced across unit, integration, API, and end-to-end levels
• Improve system testability and stay up to date with modern testing and automation approaches, applying them where they genuinely simplify testing and improve feedback
• Clarify what “safe to ship” means using automation, signals, and engineering judgment
• Make quality and testing debt visible and explain its impact in terms leadership understands
• Set standards for non-functional risks such as performance, reliability, security, and accessibility, in collaboration with teams
• Use data from tests, production issues, and incidents to identify patterns and address root causes
• Support engineers and QA teammates on making sound quality trade-offs
• Keep QA tools and setups maintainable, effective, and aligned with real needs
• Capture principles and decisions so teams don’t repeatedly solve the same problems
• Support hiring senior QA and quality-focused engineers

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO BRING TO THE TABLE

• Deep hands-on experience in QA or Quality Engineering, including test automation
• Proven experience improving quality across multiple teams or complex systems
• Strong understanding of modern CI/CD pipelines and automated testing strategies
• Comfortable in discussing risk, technical debt, and trade-offs with engineers and leadership
• A practical mindset focused on early feedback and long-term maintainability
• The ability to influence without formal authority or heavy process
• A genuine care for users, teammates, and product quality
• Confidence working with high autonomy and ambiguity

ABOUT TECHNOLOGY

• Kubernetes running on Google Cloud
• We use Go for our API, core logic, and internal tooling
• TypeScript, React, Redux, and CSS modules for our web application
• Cypress for automated end-to-end testing

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• 90+ team of engineers, product managers and product designers in Berlin
• Leaders with 8+ years of experience building our promotions engine
• €1,000 annual learning budget, full LinkedIn Learning access, and free German language courses to boost your skills
