[Hiring] SDET / QA Automation Engineer @Bitrefill

Role Description

Our QA team is shifting from manual testing toward automated, AI-augmented workflows. The infrastructure is already in place:

• E2E web testing frameworks
• A mobile test automation tool
• An internal MCP orchestration layer
• A test management platform integrated via API

What's missing is someone dedicated to writing, maintaining, and scaling the automated test suites that sit on top of it. Right now, test automation competes with QA planning, manual execution, and tooling development. We need someone who can:

• Own regression coverage
• Shrink manual test cycles
• Free up the rest of the QA team to focus on strategy, exploratory testing, and pushing our AI-driven QA work forward

We're hiring an SDET: a QA engineer who is also a real developer. This is a mid-level role, but it's central to how QA works at Bitrefill going forward. Early months will be heavier on building, shifting toward maintenance as things stabilize. The role will evolve as the team and tooling mature, which might mean picking up dev work beyond QA, depending on where the needs are.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years writing and maintaining E2E automated tests
• Coding skills beyond test scripting, with a dev background
• Experience using AI tools and agentic clients (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar)
• Strong experience with at least one modern test automation framework (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or similar)
• Mobile test automation experience or genuine interest (Maestro, Appium, Detox, or similar)
• Comfort operating in early-stage QA environments
• Comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript
• Dev experience that leans toward backend and infrastructure
• Experience with API testing (REST, request/response validation)
• Familiar with CI/CD concepts and running tests in pipelines
• Solid understanding of test workflows: cases, suites, runs, reporting

Requirements

• Experience with Spur or Maestro specifically (nice to have)
• Experience with test management tools and APIs (Qase, TestRail, or similar) (nice to have)
• Interest in Bitcoin/crypto, or experience testing payment/fintech products (nice to have)
• Experience testing e-commerce or marketplace platforms (nice to have)

Mindset

• Self-driven and comfortable owning your work in a small, remote team
• See flaky tests as a problem to solve, not a fact of life
• Curious about how AI is changing QA and excited about AI-augmented workflows
• Write solid automation code today and think about how you'll work differently tomorrow

Benefits

• Real ownership and trust
• A challenging work environment with sharp and creative people
• Regular gatherings, meetups, and conferences to stay connected
