Company mission
To unify sync and async, easily and securely.
Role
Who you are
- Passionate and truly motivated about everything in life, not just work
- Someone with a sense of urgency and follow-through
- A person who excels working in a fast-paced, agile startup environment
- Naturally customer-focused and has a customer-first mentality
- Respectful, courteous, harmonious, polite, and conscientious
- 7+ years of automation testing experience
- Strong software engineering background; this role targets developers who specialise in quality
- Proven ability to read, understand, and contribute to production codebases (Java and/or TypeScript)
- Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous testing (Kafka or equivalent)
- Familiarity with cloud-native environments (containers, CI/CD, infrastructure-aware testing)
- Strong understanding of the testing pyramid and demonstrated ability to decide:
- What must be covered by unit tests,
- What deserves component or integration tests,
- What is company- or customer-critical and must be automated end-to-end
- Ability to challenge implementation choices from a quality and testability standpoint before development starts
- Comfort working with highly technical stakeholders (developers, architects, TechOps, platform engineers)
- Capacity to prioritise automation efforts based on risk, impact, and business criticality, not test volume
- Experience with, or strong interest in, modern cloud-based test automation platforms, such as ACCELQ, including AI-assisted and codeless automation approaches, used pragmatically alongside code-based automation
Desirable
- Solid understanding of API Management concepts: gateways, policies, rate limiting, auth flows, event-driven APIs, and API lifecycles
- Exposure to LLM-related systems or AI-enabled features, including understanding how to validate non-deterministic behavior
- Familiarity with HTTP internals, API contracts, and protocol-level validation
- Experience with observability-driven testing (logs, metrics, traces to validate system behavior)
What the job involves
- We are currently recruiting for a QA Automation Engineer to join our growing business
- In this role you will research, develop, maintain, coach and provide best practice to create a test framework to continuously improve the efficiency of our software development process and the quality of our products
- As a quality owner embedded in the development process, influencing design and implementation before code is written
- Participate actively in technical design discussions, with a specific focus on testability, automation feasibility, and risk
- Design and implement end-to-end automated tests covering multi-product workflows across the Gravitee ecosystem
- Own the automation lifecycle: design, implementation, maintenance, and evolution over time
- Actively identify testing gaps revealed by production incidents and ensure they are addressed through automation
- Drive shift-left testing practices, ensuring quality is built in rather than validated at the end
- Contribute to improving developer experience around testing (frameworks, tooling, documentation, examples)
- Coach and influence engineers to write better, more meaningful tests, rather than taking testing ownership away from them
- Leverage ACCELQ or similar cloud-based AI-powered automation platforms where appropriate to accelerate coverage of stable, high-value scenarios
- Decide which test scenarios are suitable for codeless automation versus those requiring custom, code-driven test frameworks
- Continuously assess the ROI and effectiveness of AI-assisted automation tools within a complex, developer-focused product ecosystem

Our take
APIs are key to digital transformation, enabling faster connections and greater agility for businesses. However, managing hundreds of APIs at once can be a major challenge for large organizations. Gravitee.io is one of the companies addressing this need, entering a market expected to exceed $200B in the coming years.
Gravitee.io is tapping into a rapidly growing space, following the success of companies like Mulesoft, which was acquired by Salesforce, and Plaid, valued at $13B. With nearly 75% of large US organizations looking to expand their use of APIs, the demand for effective API management is clear.
With strong funding and the market's growth, Gravitee.io is well-positioned to make an impact. As more businesses rely on APIs, the company is gearing up to help organizations streamline and manage their complex tech ecosystems.
