About the role
We are looking for a Senior Quality Engineer to drive quality throughout the software development lifecycle by partnering with Product Managers, Software Engineers, and Architects to embed quality from the start rather than serve as a gatekeeper at release. You will design and maintain automated tests across unit, API, integration, and UI layers using tools like Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium, champion a right-sized test pyramid strategy, and leverage AI-powered tools for test generation, defect analysis, and coverage optimization. The role requires 4+ years of quality engineering experience with hands-on AI-assisted testing tool experience.
What you will do
● Partner closely with Product Managers, Software Engineers, and Architects to understand product functionality, technical design, customer workflows, and acceptance criteria, ensuring quality is built into every stage of SDLC.
● Define and execute a product quality strategy that aligns with business priorities, engineering practices, and release objectives.
● Design, develop, and maintain automated tests across unit, API, integration, and UI layers, applying the appropriate level of testing based on product risk and architecture.
● Champion the concept of a right-sized test pyramid by driving quality through the most effective mix of unit, service, integration, and end-to-end tests rather than relying heavily on UI automation.
● Collaborate with development teams to understand code changes, code coverage, and application architecture to determine where automated tests provide the greatest value.
● Build and maintain scalable, resilient automation frameworks that integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and rapid feedback.
● Promote shift-left quality practices by participating in backlog refinement, sprint planning, design discussions, and code reviews to identify quality risks early.
● Leverage AI-powered tools throughout the software development and testing lifecycle, including test case generation, automation development, defect analysis, risk identification, and coverage optimization, while validating AI-generated outputs for accuracy and effectiveness.
● Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort through intelligent automation and process optimization while improving product reliability.
● Partner with engineering teams to investigate defects, perform root cause analysis, and implement preventative quality improvements.
Must haves
● 4+ years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, or automation roles.
● Proficiency with automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, REST-assured, Postman, or similar).
● Ability to read, write, or debug test code or scripts (e.g., Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#).
● Understanding of REST APIs and service-based architectures.
● Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and continuous-testing concepts.
● Hands-on experience with AI-assisted testing tools and practices required.
● Upper-Intermediate English level.
Nice to haves
● Passionate about writing clean, modern, maintainable, & highly-performant code.
● Pro-active ability and a self-starter attitude to troubleshoot and solve problems.
● Experience working in an Agile environment leveraging remote communication tools.
● Strong communication skills with excellent interpersonal effectiveness.
Perks and benefits
