This is an exciting opportunity for a QA Engineer with strong automation experience who wants to play a key role in using and implementing AI as an integral part of the software testing lifecycle.

You will work across a complex SaaS environment, testing web applications, APIs, backend services, databases and connected hardware.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

• Creating and executing functional, integration, regression and system test plans.
• Developing and maintaining automated tests across UI, API and integration layers.
• Using AI tools as part of your daily QA workflow, including test generation, test data creation, automation and defect analysis.
• Identifying and implementing new ways to use AI to improve testing processes and software quality.
• Testing APIs, integrations, webhooks and distributed SaaS components.
• Configuring test environments and carrying out hands‑on testing with software and physical devices.
• Investigating defects and working closely with developers and Product teams to resolve issues.
• Supporting CI/CD, backend and integration testing.
• Contributing to the improvement of QA processes, automation and testing standards.

About You

We are looking for a technically strong QA Engineer with:

• 5 years' minimum experience in software testing/QA.
• Very strong experience with automated testing.
• Experience with automation tools and scripting languages such as Python.
• Strong experience across functional, integration, regression and system testing.
• Experience testing APIs, integrations and/or distributed software.
• Experience testing web and/or desktop applications.
• Practical experience using AI tools within software development or testing workflows.
• Strong experience in implementing AI into everyday QA processes.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience working within an Agile environment.
• API testing experience with Postman
• Automation Testing experience with Playwright, Selenium, TestComplete or similar

Desirable

Experience with Swagger/OpenAPI, C#, CI/CD, SaaS platforms or hardware/device integrations would be advantageous.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a technically innovative environment where AI is already an integral part of the QA function.

You won't simply be testing software — you'll help shape how AI, automation and modern testing techniques are used to improve software quality, coverage and release efficiency.
