Job description

We are looking for a QA Specialist with deep expertise in test automation to help us raise the quality bar across the Inriver platform. You will own and evolve our automated testing strategy – spanning API, integration, UI, and performance testing – and embed quality practices into every stage of the development lifecycle. Inriver is a multi-tenant SaaS platform built on Microsoft Azure, serving over 1,600 global brands. Our architecture is API-first and MACH-certified, with services spanning product enrichment, syndication, content onboarding, AI-powered agents, and Digital Shelf Analytics. Ensuring platform stability and reliability at this scale requires a mature, well-maintained automation framework – and that’s where you come in.

What You Will Do

• Drive and help to improve the test automation strategy across the Inriver platform, ensuring comprehensive coverage of APIs, integrations, UI workflows, and data pipelines.
• Design, build, and maintain scalable automated test frameworks and CI/CD-integrated test suites that run reliably across environments.
• Develop and maintain API and contract tests for Inriver’s REST APIs, syndication endpoints, and MCP Server integrations.
• Implement performance and load testing to validate platform behaviour under production-scale conditions, supporting our platform stability goals.
• Champion shift-left testing practices by collaborating closely with developers to embed testability, code-level testing, and quality gates early in the development process.
• Define and track quality metrics, test coverage, and defect trends to give teams and leadership clear visibility into product health.
• Mentor and guide other engineers on testing best practices, automation patterns, and quality mindset across the engineering organisation.
• Contribute to incident analysis and root‑cause investigation, identifying gaps in test coverage that allowed defects to reach production.
• Evaluate and introduce new tools, frameworks, and approaches to keep our test automation stack modern and effective.

What You’ll Bring

We don’t expect you to tick every box – but we think you’ll thrive here if you have many of the below:

• 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance with a strong focus on test automation.
• Proven experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks in Python/C#/.NET or similar technology stacks.
• Strong skills in API testing and contract testing using tools such as REST Assured, Postman/Newman, Pact, or equivalent.
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar) and integrating automated tests into build and release workflows.
• Solid understanding of performance and load testing using tools like k6, JMeter, Gatling, or Azure Load Testing.
• Solid understanding of UI testing using Playwright.
• Experience working with cloud‑native applications on Microsoft Azure or equivalent platforms.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex system behaviour into clear, maintainable test cases.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with developers, product owners, and SRE teams.

We’d love to hear from you. If you’re curious but not 100% sure, we still encourage you to apply. We’re happy to explore the fit together!
