Automation QA Engineer
Remote · Part-time (~4h/day)
About the Role
We’re building an AI-powered operating platform for UK law firms — modernizing business-critical legal practice management software that firms depend on daily. It’s a product that matters: it touches client onboarding, matter management, compliance workflows, and document intelligence, all in a highly regulated environment where reliability and correctness are non-negotiable.
You’ll join a small, senior, delivery-focused team working from a well-defined specification with clear stage gates, business rules, and acceptance criteria. The tech lead/architect sets direction — you own execution.
We’re looking for an Automation QA who can grow into a leadership role: someone proactive, ownership-driven, fluent in English, ready to build reliable test automation and guide future QA teammates. This is a part-time engagement, around 4 hours a day.
Your Mission
- Build and own reliable test automation for a business-critical legal platform
- Establish QA processes and best practices as the team grows
- Act as the quality gatekeeper across a highly regulated, compliance-heavy product
- Grow into a QA Lead role, mentoring future teammates along the way
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain automated test frameworks
- Create end-to-end, integration, API, and UI automated test suites
- Analyze product quality risks and define test strategy
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to improve release reliability
- Lead defect triage and ensure high standards of QA processes
- Mentor future QA team members and help establish QA best practices
- Drive continuous improvement in test automation and CI/CD quality gates
What We’re Looking For
Must Have
- Strong experience with automated testing (Web + API)
- Solid experience with one of: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, WebdriverIO
- Strong TypeScript or JavaScript experience
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or similar)
- Practical understanding of the testing pyramid and shift-left approach
- Fluent English communication
- Proactive mindset and readiness to take ownership
- Experience leading or mentoring is a plus
Nice to Have
- Azure cloud experience (Azure DevOps, pipelines, App Services, Functions)
- Performance testing (k6)
- Basic security testing
- Docker/Kubernetes knowledge
- SaaS or startup product experience
Why You’ll Love This Role
- A clear path to grow into a QA Lead role
- A modern tech stack and automation-first mindset
- A small, senior, international team working from a well-defined spec — no chaos, no guesswork
- Real influence on quality culture and long-term testing strategy
- A flexible, part-time engagement (~4h/day) that fits around other commitments
If this aligns with you, we’d love to hear from you.
