  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD workflows to provide fast feedback, reliable quality gates, and consistent release confidence
  • Partner with Software Engineers, Product Managers, and QA team members to build quality into features from design through delivery
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to the development of testing standards, automation practices, and code quality expectations across the team
  • Design and implement AI-enabled and agentic workflows that automate testing, failure analysis, reporting, and engineering operations
  • Analyze quality metrics to identify risks, improve test coverage, reduce flakiness, and increase automation effectiveness
  • Evaluate and introduce tools, frameworks, and engineering practices that improve software quality, reliability, and delivery speed

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in Software Development, Test Automation, Software Quality Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • Strong programming experience in languages such as Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript, with a focus on maintainable and reusable code
  • Experience designing and implementing automated testing frameworks for web, API, backend, or data-intensive applications
  • Experience building, maintaining, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar platforms
  • Strong knowledge of API testing, distributed systems, and data validation methodologies
  • Advanced SQL skills with experience validating databases, data pipelines, ETL, or ELT processes
  • Experience using or implementing AI-enabled tools, automation workflows, agentic systems, or LLM-powered engineering solutions
  • Strong communication, mentorship, collaboration, and technical leadership skills, with English proficiency at a B2 level or above

Success Outcomes

First 30 Days

  • Develop a strong understanding of the platform architecture, product workflows, testing practices, and development processes
  • Set up development, testing, and automation environments
  • Assess the current testing strategy, automation coverage, CI/CD pipelines, and quality risks

  • Take ownership of test automation for a key product area or service

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
