Your role in the team
- We're looking for a QA Engineer who doesn't just find bugs—they prevent them.
- You'll be embedded in a cross-functional product team, working closely with developers and a Product Owner to build quality in from day one.
- You write code, deliberately break things, and use AI to work faster and smarter.
- One thing that makes this role different: we already run an AI agent pipeline on the product side.
- Ideas are shaped, analyzed, broken down, and turned into Jira tickets by a chain of AI agents, with a human reviewing every gate.
- It works, and it's changed how fast we move.
- What we don't have yet is the equivalent on the quality side.
- That's yours to build.
- Design and maintain automated test suites (E2E, integration, regression) with Playwright as the primary tool.
- Write and execute test strategies for Angular frontends and Java backends.
- Build and own CI pipeline quality gates - no broken build makes it to staging on your watch.
- Perform API testing (REST, Postman/Newman, contract testing).
- Contribute to test data management and environment stability.
- Conduct exploratory testing focused on edge cases and real user journeys.
- Triage defects, reproduce them reliably, and communicate impact clearly.
- Champion quality practices across the team - you're the one who raises the bar.
- Extend our existing AI agent pipeline into QA - the same way we generate requirements today, we want to generate test plans, test cases and Gherkin specs that are actually good enough to use.
- Plug into the pipeline upstream: acceptance criteria written by an agent should come out testable, and you're the one who makes sure they do.
- Use AI to expand coverage, hunt edge cases a human wouldn't think of, and keep test suites from rotting.
- Build the prompts, context files, and guardrails that make agent output reliable rather than merely plausible-looking.
- Decide what AI should not touch - some things need a human, and knowing where that line sits is part of the job.
- Review everything. AI output that ships unreviewed is a defect waiting to happen, and you own that standard for the team.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Playwright – you’ve built and maintained E2E suites from scratch; you understand selectors, fixtures, page object models, and parallel execution.
- SQL – you write queries confidently, understand joins and indexes, and validate data at the source without asking a developer.
- AI-assisted testing - you actively use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT or similar) in your day-to-day.
- You know what a good prompt looks like, you've been burned by a bad one, and you can tell the difference between output that's correct and output that just reads well.
- Solid understanding of Angular applications and how to test them (component, E2E, snapshot).
- Comfortable reading and writing Java or TypeScript—you’re not just clicking around.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins preferred—that's what we use).
- Knowledge of test pyramid principles—you know when not to write an E2E test.
- Power BI – you build dashboards and reports the team actually uses (quality metrics, coverage, defect trends), not ones that get opened once.
- Jira + Xray or similar test management tooling.
- You've built something with AI agents before—custom instructions, agent workflows, MCP, RAG, whatever it was. Tell us what worked and what didn't.
- OWASP Top 10 awareness.
- Exposure to performance testing (k6, JMeter).
- Understanding of accessibility testing (WCAG 2.1).
Experience
- 5+ years in QA with a strong automation focus.
- Experience testing REST APIs - HTTP, auth flows, JSON schemas.
- Experience in banking, fintech or another regulated industry—you understand why the audit trail matters.
