🚀 Senior QA Engineer / QA Engineering Lead

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer / QA Engineering Lead with a solid technical foundation and experience in test automation, capable of driving the evolution of the software quality strategy.

  • Design and implement end-to-end testing strategies.
  • Develop and evolve functional and integration test automation.
  • Perform testing of REST APIs, microservices, Kafka, and messaging systems.
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Analyze complex incidents, identifying their root cause and proposing solutions.

  • Participate in technical and code reviews, detecting potential design issues.
  • Define best practices, standards, and quality strategies.
  • Drive the evolution from manual testing models toward QA Engineering and automation approaches.
  • Contribute to improving the quality maturity of the teams and the technological environment.
