Full-Time Quality Engineer

We’re seeking a driven Quality Engineer to join one of Europe’s fastest-growing legal tech companies. Our AI-powered products are already in market; now we need rock-solid quality practices to scale with confidence. This role lets you design and execute test strategies, build automation suites, and champion the tooling and processes that keep our platform reliable, secure, and delightful to use. Reporting to the Engineering Lead and partnering closely with the Head of Engineering.

You’ll collaborate with product and engineering teams to embed quality early (“shift left”) and ensure every release meets a high bar. For an engineer with deep experience in test automation, modern QA practices, and data-driven quality metrics, this is a chance to have real product impact, learn from seasoned leaders, and help scale quality across the company.

Tasks

• Quality Strategy & Implementation: Architect and roll out end-to-end test automation frameworks (API, UI, E2E, performance) integrated into CI/CD.
• Define and enforce best practices for quality engineering, test data management, and release gating across products.
• Build observability and quality metrics dashboards to detect regressions early and drive data-backed improvements.
• Own hands-on test design, scripting, and tooling early on as the core technical contributor.
• Continuously harden environments (staging/sandbox) to mirror production and support reliable, repeatable testing.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product, design, and engineering to “shift left”—baking quality into requirements, designs, and code reviews.
• Communicate test results, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Coach developers on testing patterns and quality-minded delivery; champion a culture of preventive QA over reactive fixes.
• Coordinate with DevOps/SRE to align monitoring, alerting, and incident postmortems with quality objectives.

Requirements

• Technical Expertise: Advanced UI/E2E automation with Cypress
• GitHub Actions pro: build/test pipelines, matrix jobs, caching, artifact management, flaky-test quarantine.
• Docker-first testing: reproducible local/CI environments, ephemeral test stacks, service mocking.
• Robust QA processes: shift-left testing, risk-based test planning, clear exit criteria, release gating in CI/CD.
• Strong scripting/programming skills in Python to build and extend test frameworks.
• API and contract testing (pytest/requests or Postman/Newman), plus performance checks (k6/Locust) as needed.
• Test data & environment management (seed scripts, synthetic data, sandbox parity with production).
• Metrics & observability: defining quality KPIs, wiring tests to dashboards/alerts for continuous feedback.
