Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer

We are looking for a senior level AQA to join our development team of 70+ engineers across 8 squads, each focusing on specific areas of our SaaS enterprise product, Orbusinfinity. The tech stack includes C# .Net 6, React, Typescript, CosmosDB, SQL, Containers, Kubernetes, and Azure. Your role will involve working closely with Automation QAs, developers, a Product Owner, and a Scrum Master to ensure high-quality solutions.

As an Automation QA, you will design and choose appropriate testing solutions to ensure high-quality and repeatable testing of application components. We have various existing solutions such as Functional UI Tests, API Integration Tests, and Performance Tests to work with. We follow Scrum practices with quarterly strategic planning, incorporating TDD, automated CI/CD, a “shift-left” testing in the development process. We focus on producing maintainable, high-quality code where build and release processes are supported by dedicated DevOps teams using Azure DevOps, Git and Azure.

As we are a Microsoft Gold partner, you will have access the latest tech. Our projects use cutting-edge technology, so we encourage our development teams to stay ahead of current trends and best practices. Ideally, we’d like a candidate that reflects this, with a keen interest in the latest trends and technologies. We conduct regular knowledge-sharing events and expect active participation. The role allows remote work with some initial office time and quarterly in-person events for team alignment and bonding. If this sounds like you then we’d love to receive your CV.
