Principal QA Engineer

Location: Remote (UK-based only)

Contract: Full-Time, Permanent

Team: Bauer Technology – QA

Help Shape the Future of Digital Audio at Bauer

We’re on the hunt for a Principal QA Engineer to become the glue, the guide, and the guardian of quality across our digital platforms. This is a rare opportunity to influence the shape of QA within one of the UK’s most influential media brands – spanning web, mobile, platform, and voice-connected products.

At Bauer, we don’t just ship code. We ship experiences that reach millions of listeners. From the streaming audio in your headphones to the backend systems powering entire platforms — your quality bar will set the tone for it all.

What You’ll Be Doing

Act as the technical authority and mentor across embedded QA teams

Work with engineers on Android (Kotlin), iOS (Swift), Web (TypeScript/Playwright), and Backend/Platform

Champion automation, scalability, and security across multiple product streams

Translate high-level goals into scalable QA processes – hands-on and in the detail

Own cross-platform initiatives, from flattening manual processes to optimising test coverage

Collaborate with Product, DevOps, and Engineering to embed QA in everything we do

Lead by influence — with authority, empathy, and negotiation

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who can command a room — but also read it. You’ll be a confident technical leader who’s as comfortable diving into Playwright tests as you are coaching a team through change.

Must-Haves:

• Proven experience leading QA efforts across multiple platforms
• Strong automation skills and ability to guide others (Playwright, TypeScript, etc.)
• Familiarity with CI/CD, cloud infrastructure (AWS), Docker/Kubernetes
• Working knowledge of load testing, security practices, mocking & stubbing
• Experience managing test strategies in Agile or cross-functional teams
• UK-based and able to attend quarterly team strategy sessions in London

Bonus Points For:

• Background in media, streaming, or connected audio products
• Exposure to QA strategy, OKRs, or change initiatives across multiple teams

What Success Looks Like

In 6–12 months, you'll have:

Flattened inconsistencies in QA approaches across teams

Uplifted automation quality across mobile, web, and backend

Created a standard for scalable, secure, and testable code

Become a go-to advisor for quality best practice and tooling

Represented QA with clarity and conviction in product discussions
