We are seeking a hands-on, mid to senior QA Engineer with strong automation experience to join our Product team. This is our first dedicated QA role, and you will be placed on Atom, our next-generation multi-tenant platform, and Brian AI, our intelligence and decisioning platform. These products are the future of the Betable Group, and quality needs to be built in from the start.

The QA Engineer will be responsible for both testing and automating: turning requirements into test plans, executing functional, regression and UAT testing, and designing and building the automation framework that underpins every release. They will provide clear test evidence and sign-off within our delivery process, working closely with our development partners, Product and Service Delivery.

The ideal candidate will be detail-oriented, technically strong, comfortable building automation from the ground up, and able to balance day-to-day testing with improving how we approach quality across the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Test Planning: Review requirements and acceptance criteria early, identifying testability gaps and turning them into clear test plans and test cases before development starts.
• Functional & Regression Testing: Execute functional, regression, exploratory and cross-browser/device testing across Mobile and Desktop, ensuring features meet the required quality standards before release.
• Test Automation: Design, build and maintain the automation framework for Atom and Brian, covering UI, API and integration tests, and grow a regression suite that scales with each delivery phase.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated suites into build and release pipelines so tests run on every build and release candidate, with clear reporting on results, coverage and flakiness.
• Multi-tenant & Configuration Testing: Validate behavior across tenants, brands and jurisdictions, including feature toggles and jurisdiction-specific configuration on Atom.
• Data & AI Product Testing: Test Brian AI for data accuracy, role-based access and user journeys, working with Product to define what correct looks like.
• Defect Management: Raise clear, reproducible bugs in our standard format, triage with development partners, and verify fixes and hotfixes through to closure.
• Quality Gates & Release Readiness: Provide test evidence and QA sign-off within our delivery process, working with the Service Delivery Manager on release readiness and post-release smoke testing in production.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, engineering partners, compliance and operations to ensure alignment on scope, environments and test data.
• Continuous Improvement: Define and champion QA standards, including Definition of Done, test case conventions and severity guidelines, and identify opportunities to extend automation to other products over time.
• Documentation: Maintain test plans, test cases, automation documentation and test reports.
