The Opportunity

We're looking for a Junior QA Automation Engineer to join our agile R&D team. If you're curious, hands-on, and passionate about both testing and problem-solving, this role offers a unique blend of automation, manual testing, and technical support responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain automated test cases for APIs, web, and mobile apps.
• Work with developers to embed testing into the development lifecycle.
• Perform manual and exploratory testing in early-stage or complex scenarios.
• Log issues clearly, assist with triage, and follow through on resolutions.
• Identify areas for automation and recommend smart approaches.
• Handle escalated technical issues from support, investigating root causes.
• Analyse logs, behaviour, and systems to support issue resolution.
• Collaborate across QA, development, and product teams globally.
• Stay up to date with modern test tools and automation practices.

• 1–3 years' experience in software testing, with exposure to test automation.
• Hands-on experience with tools like Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar.
• Ability to write basic SQL queries to validate data.
• Experience using Git and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Understanding of web technologies, networking basics, and troubleshooting fundamentals.
• A curious mindset and a drive to improve through automation and learning.
• Tertiary qualification in IT, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Success Measures

Impact on product quality, speed of feedback, and contribution to overall team efficiency.

Investigation and resolution of complex 3rd-level technical issues, perform thorough root cause analyses, and contribute to long-term fixes that prevent repeat problems. Proactive identification of test gaps, process improvements, and collaboration with developers on early-stage quality practices will be valued.
