Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

The role

You will own quality engineering end-to-end as the first quality engineer on the team. The role is greenfield: you define the QA strategy, choose the tools, and build the automation infrastructure from scratch. The split is 70% automation and 30% exploratory and manual testing.

What you will do

• Design and implement the QA strategy from the ground up
• Build and maintain automated test suites across API, UI, and integration layers
• Integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines and own the quality gates
• Perform exploratory and manual testing on new features and releases
• Define quality metrics and report on them to the wider team
• Collaborate with engineers to improve testability at the design stage
• Use AI-assisted tools to speed up test creation and coverage

Required qualifications

• 5+ years in SDET, QA Engineering, or similar
• Strong hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, REST Assured, or similar)
• Proficiency in TypeScript and Python
• Experience building test infrastructure from scratch
• Solid understanding of CI/CD and integrating tests into pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted testing tools
• Comfortable working independently without a QA team around you

Nice to have

• C# and/or Java experience
• Experience with contract testing (Pact or similar)
• Performance testing exposure (k6, Locust)
• Accessibility testing awareness (WCAG, axe-core)
• Temporal.io experience

Before you apply

• Open only to candidates residing in, or willing to relocate to, Czechia or Slovakia with the legal right to work there
• Applications from candidates based outside Czechia or Slovakia are not considered
