As the leading restaurant booking platform in Europe, we connect the broadest community of loyal diners with the world’s favorite restaurants. Powered by innovation and a deep passion for the restaurant industry, we create unique dining experiences across 11 countries.

Discover life at TheFork.

What you will do:

• Design, build, and evolve test automation frameworks and internal tooling (Playwright + TypeScript as primary stack)
• Act as owner of the test ecosystem, including repositories, architecture, and long-term maintainability
• Define and enforce testing standards, guidelines, and best practices across engineering teams
• Enable developers to write effective tests by providing abstractions, utilities, and reusable components
• Drive test architecture decisions (structure, layering, fixtures, data handling, isolation strategies)
• Collaborate with teams to improve testability of systems (APIs, frontend, data flows) without directly owning feature tests
• Own and optimize CI/CD test pipelines (e.g., Jenkins), focusing on speed, reliability, and scalability
• Identify systemic issues (flakiness, instability, slow feedback loops) and implement structural solutions, not patches
• Design and maintain test data management and environment orchestration strategies
• Define, implement, and evolve quality gates and metrics (coverage, reliability, execution time, signal quality)
• Support teams in debugging complex failures by providing observability and diagnostic tooling
• Explore and integrate AI-driven testing capabilities to improve productivity and test robustness
• Mentor engineers and promote a quality engineering mindset across the organization

• Hands‑on experience with modern automation tools (Playwright preferred)
• Strong understanding of test architecture patterns (test pyramid, separation of concerns, isolation strategies)
• Experience enabling teams through libraries, SDKs, or shared tooling
• Solid experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins), including pipeline optimization and debugging
• Experience with API testing (REST/GraphQL) and designing reusable testing layers
• Strong problem‑solving skills focused on root cause analysis and systemic improvements
• Comfortable working cross‑team and acting as a technical reference for quality
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)

You Can Impress With These Additions

• Experience building internal developer platforms or test platforms
• Deep expertise in Playwright ecosystem (custom reporters, fixtures, plugins, parallelization strategies)
• Experience with GraphQL testing tooling and schema‑driven validation

• Experience with test data platforms (dynamic data generation, seeding, environment control)
• Exposure to AI‑assisted testing / LLM‑based tooling
• Backend development experience (Node.js preferred)
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and ephemeral environments
• Strong understanding of observability (logs, metrics, tracing) applied to test systems
• Experience in organizations where testing is decentralized but governed centrally

What we offer you:

• An awesome team
• A permanent contract
• Flexible working environment (2 days home office per week + up to 4 total weeks additional flexibility during the summer period and in December to work fully remotely)
