Job description

Company Overview

Holafly is a high‑growth scale‑up revolutionising how businesses and travellers connect to the internet abroad. Since 2018, we’ve empowered travellers in over 200 destinations worldwide with secure and reliable eSIM solutions. With a team of 500+ professionals across multiple countries, we are scaling globally to support travellers with seamless, unlimited data connectivity. We’re not just connecting people—we’re enabling freedom and peace of mind, ensuring our users stay connected from the second they land, wherever their journey takes them.

The Role

As our QA Engineer, you will be the guardian of excellence within our Agile squads, shifting quality "to the left" to ensure we ship world‑class software at speed. Your mission is to bridge the gap between business requirements and seamless user experiences by building a robust, automated safety net for our Web and Mobile platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive Quality Strategy: Collaborate with Product Owners during refinement to define robust Acceptance Criteria (AC) and identify edge cases before a single line of code is written.
• Build Scalable Automation: Design, develop, and maintain high-quality automated test frameworks using Playwright (Web) and Maestro (Mobile).
• Eliminate Bottlenecks: Implement and manage automated regression suites within our CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable releases.
• Technical Mentorship: Act as a reference point for junior profiles, fostering a "Quality is everyone's responsibility" mindset across the engineering team.
• End-to-End Validation: Perform API testing (Postman/Swagger) and database validation to ensure data integrity across our entire SaaS ecosystem.
• Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify process gaps and propose modern QA tooling to elevate the technical standard of the organization.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software testing (STLC) with a strong focus on both Web and Mobile applications.
• Automation Mastery: Proven expertise in building frameworks from scratch using Playwright (JS/TS); experience with Maestro or similar mobile tools.
• Agile Native: Experience working in Scrum squads, actively contributing to ceremonies and "Shift-Left" testing practices.
• Technical Toolkit: Proficiency with Git, CI/CD tools (Jenkins/Azure DevOps/Docker), and SQL for data verification.
• Fluent English: Strong communication skills are essential for collaborating with our global, remote-first team.

Hybrid Modality

We focus on trust and performance. We are implementing a two‑phased approach for our Hybrid Modality:

• Phase 1: While the teams are establishing ways of working, building trust, and developing their rhythm, we ask that you’re present in the office three days a week. In‑person proximity is key to accelerating the forming stage.
• Phase 2: Once teams are performing, we move to a more relaxed hybrid model. We ask for a minimum of one day per week in the office, centred around critical ceremonies such as sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

Benefits & Perks

• 25 Days of PTO
• 5% pension contribution
• € 3000 for Medical/Health coverage
• Self‑development budget of $500

During a trip to Thailand, Pedro and Lidia, the founders of Holafly, experienced the frustration of not having an internet connection. Inspired by their own experiences, they came up with a simple but brilliant idea: why not allow travellers to buy data plans for any destination from their home country? Our passion for providing easy and convenient connectivity to travellers around the world drives everything we do. We love our work and we do it with pride. Stay connected wherever you go.
