Job description

Senior QA Engineer (Functional Testing)

At Vortech PCI Group, we are looking for a Senior QA Engineer with a functional testing background to act as the quality reference within a large international development team.

This is not a hands-on automation role: we are looking for someone who owns the testing strategy, leads functional quality, and becomes "the voice of quality" for the whole team — someone with the seniority and communication skills to influence developers, Product Owners, and stakeholders.

Your role

You will join a large, international software development team, taking ownership of quality end to end.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Defining the test strategy, scope, and test plans for the product
• Executing and coordinating functional and manual testing activities
• Establishing acceptance criteria and ensuring adequate test coverage
• Managing defects throughout the development lifecycle, including severity assessment and follow-up
• Working closely with developers and the Product Owner as the quality counterpart
• Guiding the development team on how to prepare and structure automated tests
• Reviewing the results of test automation and AI-assisted testing to ensure reliability
• Promoting a quality-first culture and coaching the team on QA best practices

What we are looking for

• 5+ years of experience in QA, with a strong functional/manual testing background
• Proven experience defining test strategies and test plans from scratch
• Experience managing defects, acceptance criteria, and quality reporting
• Solid understanding of test automation concepts — enough to review, orient, and challenge automated tests (you will not be responsible for building the framework)
• Experience managing testing workflows using JIRA or similar tools
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to lead by influence within large teams
• Autonomy, ownership, and a genuine quality mindset
• English level B2+ or higher, as you will work in international environments
• French is a strong plus
• Ability to work from within European territory

What we offer

• Opportunity to work on international technology projects in a leading industrial environment
• A role with real ownership and visibility: you define how quality is done
• Collaboration with high-level engineering teams
• Flexible and modern working environment
• Career growth opportunities within a growing technology consulting company
• Competitive compensation package
