Job description

As a Test Automation Engineer, you will help ensure the quality and reliability of our client- and expert-facing products across a suite of web applications. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to validate new features, improve regression coverage, and strengthen our overall testing approach.

This is a hands-on role for someone with 2–3 years of QA experience who is comfortable combining manual testing, test planning, and automation in a fast-moving product environment.

What you’ll do

  • Test new features end-to-end across our web applications and user workflows.

  • Write, maintain, and extend automated functional tests (we use Playwright and Cucumber)

  • Design clear test cases and regression plans for new releases.

  • Perform exploratory testing to identify edge cases, usability issues, and regressions.

  • Investigate defects, document reproducible issues clearly, and work with engineers to verify fixes.

  • Validate frontend behavior, API-driven flows, notifications, and business-critical user journeys.

  • Support release confidence through smoke, regression, and environment testing.

  • Contribute to continuous improvement of our QA processes, test coverage, and test data practices.

Who we’d love to work with

  • Curious, detail-oriented, and genuinely motivated by product quality

  • Comfortable communicating clearly in English in a technical environment (approximately B2–C1 proficiency)

  • Strong in manual testing fundamentals and comfortable exploring beyond scripted cases

  • A clear communicator who works effectively with engineers and product stakeholders

  • Practical and organized in documenting bugs, test coverage, and release risk

  • Eager to learn and improve automation skills over time

  • Comfortable working in a lean, fast-paced environment

  • Around 2–3 years into a QA career (junior to mid-level)

Job requirements

Expected skills & experience

  • Fluent in English

  • Commercial experience testing web applications in production or pre-production environments

  • Strong experience with manual functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing

  • Experience validating REST APIs (endpoints, payloads, error handling, and integrated user flows)

  • Experience writing or maintaining UI automation tests (ideally Playwright or similar)

  • Familiarity with BDD-style testing approaches such as Cucumber

  • Understanding of testing frontend behavior: forms, validation, navigation, and asynchronous flows

  • Ability to validate API-connected user journeys and diagnose failures using logs, browser tools, and test reports

  • Experience documenting defects clearly with strong reproduction steps and expected vs. actual behavior

Beneficial

  • Working knowledge of TypeScript/JavaScript-based test automation

  • Exposure to performance or other non-functional testing

  • Understanding of quality practices in CI/CD environments
