Build reliable HR-tech that truly empowers people

At the intersection of quality, speed, and innovation, we’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer who’s ready to shape the way we build and release software.

Why this role stands out

You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary Feature Team within a larger Engineering department. We work Agile–Scrum, delivering software in short, high-quality iterations. Your expertise in test automation helps us move faster, minimize risk, and build confidence into every release.

What you’ll do

Automate with impact

  • Design, build, and maintain test suites at every level — unit, integration, contract, application, and E2E.

  • Work with modern frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, JUnit/TestNG, NUnit, Pact, and REST Assured.

Quality as a mindset

  • Apply your knowledge of test design, risk analysis, and system architecture to deliver software that’s reliable, secure, and scalable.

Raise the bar together

  • Take an active role in Scrum ceremonies and help shape acceptance criteria and quality standards.

  • Create and maintain automated tests in JavaScript and Java — seamlessly integrated into our CI/CD pipeline.

Beyond functional testing

  • Validate performance, security, and resilience using the right tools.

  • Share insights within our global QA community and help define quality strategy across teams.

Culture of continuous improvement

  • Champion Trunk Based Development and an automation-first mindset to make delivery faster and safer.

Requirements

What should you bring?

  • 8+ years of QA experience, including 3+ years focused on automation.

  • Strong background with frameworks such as Cypress, Playwright, JUnit, TestNG, REST Assured, and Pact.

  • Solid understanding of frontend (Angular/AngularJS) and backend (Java) systems.

  • Experience with cloud environments, ideally AWS.

  • Familiar with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.

  • Interest in AI-driven testing and intelligent automation.

  • Deep understanding of Agile-Scrum and Trunk Based Development.

  • Analytical mindset with great attention to detail.

  • Strong communicator who thrives in collaborative teams.

Why you’ll love working here

  • Impactful role within a fast-growing HR-tech scale-up.

  • Freedom to innovate and bring your ideas to life.

  • A team that learns, shares, and celebrates success together.

  • Hybrid work setup, modern tools, and a culture built on trust.
