Jobbeschreibung

Own the Quality. Lead the Change. Raise the Bar.

We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer(all genders) to join our team. If you care deeply about product quality, love automating the boring stuff, and know how to make a big impact without making a big fuss, this one’s for you.

We are Doodle

Doodle is the world’s leading scheduling platform, helping millions of people instantly set meetings with clients, colleagues, and teams. Tapping into the unique nature of smart scheduling, Doodle simplifies the planning of 1 : 1 and group meetings for busy professionals. As the world's most trusted online scheduling platform, Doodle attracts more than 25 million visitors each month. Doodle is headquartered in Zurich, with offices in Belgrade and Berlin and some colleagues working remotely from the US.

What You’ll Do

• Own quality. Define how we test, what we test, and how we talk about quality. Lead by doing -and help others level up, too.
• Get involved early. Work closely with Product to flag gaps before they turn into bugs. Help Engineering build testable features from day one.
• Automate smart. Build and maintain solid automated tests for frontend and backend. We use WebdriverIO, JUnit, and RestAssured.
• Plug into the pipeline. Hook tests into CI / CD (GitHub Actions, Docker, Helm, Kubernetes). Make sure the right people see the right results, fast.
• Keep an eye on things. Use tools like Kibana, Grafana, and Sentry to spot issues before users do -and help fix them.
• Understand the system. We run microservices. Some talk over REST, others use Kafka. You’ll test both.
• Think security. Know your way around auth protocols (OAuth, SAML, OIDC) and IAM systems.
• Test performance. Use tools like Gatling to make sure things stay fast- even when traffic spikes.
• Build real trust. Be honest about product risks, share what’s working (and what’s not), and speak up when something needs to change.
• Unblock the team. Spot what’s slowing people down and help remove it.
• Use AI to go faster. Explore how AI can speed up QA -from test generation to bug triage.

What You Bring

• You know how to lead on qualityand people trust your judgement.
• You’ve built and maintained automated test suites.
• You’re confident working with CI / CD pipelines and cloud-native tools.
• You can read a dashboard (or a stack trace) and know what’s wrong.
• You understand how services talk to each other (REST, Kafka) and how users log in (OAuth, SAML, OIDC).
• You’ve run performance tests before and know how to act on the results.
• You’re curious, collaborative and proactive.
• You care about the user, the product and the team behind it.
• You’re open to trying new tools, especially AI, if they help you move faster or smarter.
