• Strong programming experience with JavaScript / TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, TestCafe, WebdriverIO, Jest, Mocha, or similar
• Solid understanding of API testing (REST, GraphQL)
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Working knowledge of microservices architectures and how they impact testing strategies
• Working knowledge of cloud-based and containerised environments (e.g. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), sufficient to test, debug, and collaborate effectively with engineering teams
• Working knowledge of edge or traffic-layer platforms such as Cloudflare, including how caching, routing, security rules, or rate limiting can impact testing and automation
• Strong understanding of Git-based workflows
• Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team

• Design, develop, maintain, and improve automated test suites for UI and API testing
• Collaborate with developers and QA team members to ensure meaningful, risk-based test coverage
• Integrate and maintain automation within CI/CD pipelines
• Analyse test results, identify trends and risks, and provide actionable feedback to engineering teams
• Contribute to automation strategy, tooling decisions, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Ensure automation is scalable, maintainable, and efficient, identifying opportunities for optimisation
• Balance long-term automation goals with short-term quality needs when required
• Communicate clearly and constructively during code reviews and technical discussions
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)
• Stay up to date with modern testing techniques, tools, and engineering best practices
• We’re very flexible about when you get your work done, but we do have some core hours where we like to overlap in order to promote collaboration and low-latency communication between team members (10:00 to 15:00 CET)
• Our daily virtual stand-ups are important for us but other than that, you’re free to manage your own time
