Automation QA Engineer

Established in 1997, Softeq was built from the ground up to specialize in new product development and R&D, tackling the most difficult problems in the tech sphere. Now we've expanded to offer early-stage innovation and ideation plus digital transformation business consulting. Our superpower is to deliver all of this under one roof on a global scale. So let's get started and build a better future together!

We're looking for a Automation QA Engineer to join our team and contribute to its continued growth.

What you will do

• Define the test strategy and test plan for each release together with the team and the client.
• Build and maintain UI end-to-end automation with Playwright, and API and contract tests with pytest against an OpenAPI 3.1 contract.
• Write cross-tenant negative tests: prove that a user of one customer company can never see or change another company's data, through the UI, the API or exports.
• Test role-based access and entitlements: admins, internal staff, customer users, delegated access.
• Run performance and load tests (Azure Load Testing or k6) against agreed targets.
• Run security tests in the pipeline (DAST with OWASP ZAP) and support remediation and retest after penetration tests.
• Test accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) with automated checks (axe) and manual review; test the PWA across the agreed browser and device matrix, including web push on iOS.
• Test data: reconcile application data against source systems, verify data quality rules, run KPI regression against certified baselines, and prepare evidence packs for data sign-off.
• Help test AI features: evaluation sets for the assistant, checks that answers stay within the user's data.
• Integrate all tests into CI/CD (GitHub Actions), keep them fast and stable, and report quality at release gates.
• Manage defects and give clear, reproducible bug reports.

What we expect

• 4+ years of test automation for web applications and APIs, with code in TypeScript or Python that you maintain like production code.
• Strong Playwright (or Cypress / Selenium with a clear reason to move to Playwright): page objects or fixtures, test data management, parallel runs, flaky-test control.
• API testing with pytest or similar: authentication flows (OAuth2 / OIDC, JWT), contract testing against OpenAPI, negative and boundary cases.
• Experience testing role-based access and multi-tenant isolation.
• Good SQL: you can write reconciliation queries between a source and a target and explain each variance.
• CI integration of tests (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or similar): test reports, quality gates, running tests per pull request.
• Clear written and spoken English; you can explain a defect and its business impact to developers and to the client.

Nice to have

• Data testing frameworks: Great Expectations, chispa, dbt tests; Databricks or another lakehouse.
• Performance testing with k6, JMeter or Azure Load Testing.
• Security testing: OWASP ZAP, OWASP Top 10 and API Top 10.
• Accessibility testing (axe, screen readers) and PWA / mobile browser testing.
• Testing LLM features: evaluation sets, groundedness checks, prompt-injection test cases.
• ISTQB or similar certification.
• Logistics, transportation or supply-chain domain.
