Senior Quality Assurance Engineer

Are you the kind of QA engineer who doesn’t wait for issues to surface , you hunt them down before they ever get close to production? Do you love automation, modern testing practices, and shaping quality across an engineering organisation, not just writing tests? This one is for you.

You’ll join a fast-moving product team building data‐driven applications in a modern microservices environment. You’ll embed quality from discovery to release, influence technical decisions, and collaborate deeply with engineering, product, design, and SMEs.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to raise the quality bar, coach others, and leave a visible imprint on how a company ships software.

What You’ll Own

Embed Quality Early

  • Shape testable user stories and acceptance criteria from day one.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering and product to prevent late surprises.
  • Reduce handoffs by validating features continuously with developers.

Strengthen Automation & E2E Confidence

  • Own meaningful, business-critical E2E test coverage using Playwright.
  • Improve the signal quality of CI/CD pipelines so they become the source of truth.
  • Drive testing across all layers: unit, integration, API, acceptance.

Make Data Quality Bulletproof

  • Work with a highly data-intensive platform where accuracy is everything.
  • Define explicit, testable data criteria with engineers, product, client success, and SMEs.
  • Introduce automated data checks and detect anomalies early.

Elevate QA Across the Organisation

  • Mentor engineers and less experienced QA team members.
  • Champion practices that reduce defects and increase release confidence.
  • Improve how the entire team thinks about and approaches quality.

Requirements:

  • Deep experience in QA engineering and modern testing practices
  • Strong automation background with Playwright, Cypress, or similar
  • Hands-on experience in Continuous Delivery environments
  • Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript + Python
  • Understanding of microservices and API-heavy systems
  • Ability to design meaningful test cases grounded in real user behaviour
  • Collaborative mindset + strong communication
  • Experience mentoring or levelling up QA capability across teams
  • Comfortable using AI-assisted tools to expand test depth and coverage

Bonus Points For

  • Fintech, private markets, or data intelligence experience
  • Kubernetes know‐how

Tech Environment

  • Playwright (E2E Automation)
  • Python Microservices
  • React + Next.js
  • Kubernetes

This is your chance to join a team that genuinely values quality , not as a department, not as a gate, but as a shared responsibility across product, engineering, and leadership.

If you're a Senior QA Engineer who thrives on ownership, collaboration, and modern testing then this is the opportunity for you.
