Senior QA Engineer - Madrid

• Several years in QA or test engineering, typically four or more, testing web and mobile products
• Hands-on test automation: you've built and maintained automated tests that run in CI, for web (for example Playwright, Cypress or Selenium) and ideally mobile. We use XCUITest on iOS and Espresso with Kotlin on Android
• Enough coding to write and fix tests alongside developers, in a language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin or Swift
• You can test APIs and check data with SQL
• Good judgement about risk: what to test deeply, what lightly, and what not at all
• You've used AI tools in your testing work, and know where they help and where they don't
• Clear writing: bug reports and test plans other people can act on

If you meet most of these but not all, we'd still like to hear from you. Nobody arrives with all of it, and we'll help you grow into the rest.

• CircleCI or a similar CI tool
• Working with an external testing partner
• Payments, checkout or ticketing systems
• Testing apps used at live events, with poor networks
• Test management tools such as Qase or TestRail

• Generous annual leave policies aimed at promoting work-life balance.
• Matched pension, or 401k for US staff.
• Comprehensive staff wellbeing initiatives, featuring regular activities and workplace programmes to support mental and physical health. This includes discounted ClassPass memberships and custom-fitted earplugs.
• Company-led social events, team lunches, and discounts on merch.
• Paid annual volunteering allowance, encouraging contributions to community projects and charities you care about.
• A transparent internal company culture committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (see: https://ra.co/about/diversity).
• Active involvement in community projects within the electronic music community (see: https://ra.co/about/community).

As our Senior QA Engineer, you'll look after the quality of ra.co, our iOS and Android apps, and RA Scan, the app promoters use to scan tickets at the door. You'll work across five product teams. Each team writes and runs its own tests. You'll help them do it well, keep the automated test suites healthy, and test the riskiest releases yourself.

Some of what we ship carries real risk: payments, checkout, and getting people into venues on the night. Other changes are a line of copy. You'll help us tell the two apart and test each one accordingly. We use AI tools across development, and you'll help the teams use them to write better tests, faster.

• Keep the web end-to-end test suite healthy: fix flaky tests, add coverage for new features, and make sure a failing suite gets fixed quickly
• Grow automated testing for our iOS and Android apps and RA Scan with the app developers, so mobile tests run on every change
• Test high-risk releases yourself, such as payments and checkout, including edge cases and what happens when things fail
• Review the test plans teams write, and help them improve
• Use AI tools to write and maintain tests, help developers do the same, and check what the tools produce
• Brief our external testing partner and review the results they send back
• Report bugs clearly, and follow them through with developers and product managers
• Track a few simple measures, such as bugs that reach production and how reliable the automated tests are
