Role Description

We are seeking a highly technical Senior QA Engineer - Automation (m/f/d) to join our product development team, focused on building and evolving a modern, automation-first quality engineering practice across our SaaS platform.

• Own and evolve the test automation framework (primarily .NET-based), ensuring scalability, maintainability, and ease of contribution by engineering teams.
• Develop and maintain automated tests across different layers (API, integration, end-to-end), with strong focus on API-first systems (OpenAPI-driven).
• Define and enforce quality gates within CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps), ensuring consistent and reliable release standards.
• Enable engineers to contribute to automated testing by providing clear patterns, reusable components, and guidelines.
• Leverage OpenTelemetry and Grafana LGTM to validate system behavior, improve observability of tests, and detect quality issues in production-like environments.
• Collaborate closely with development teams working on Azure-based, Kubernetes (AKS), and GitOps-driven systems to ensure testability and quality are built into the architecture.
• Continuously improve test coverage, execution time, and signal quality, including integration with coverage tools.
• Explore and introduce new approaches to improve quality (e.g., contract testing, telemetry-driven validation, synthetic testing).
• Contribute to test strategy for distributed systems, including multi-service SaaS environments.
• Review test implementations and provide guidance to maintain high standards across the codebase.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Quality Engineering with strong focus on automation.
• Solid programming experience in C# / .NET Core, with ability to work in and extend test frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with XUnit (or similar frameworks) and modern test automation practices.
• Strong experience testing API-first systems, including working with OpenAPI/Swagger.
• Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps strongly preferred).
• Familiarity with test coverage tools such as Cobertura.
• Experience working with cloud-native architectures (Azure preferred) and distributed systems.
• Understanding of Kubernetes-based environments and their testing implications.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with ability to identify gaps in quality and drive improvements.
• Excellent communication skills; able to influence engineering teams and promote best practices.

Requirements

• Experience with OpenTelemetry and using telemetry data to validate system behavior and improve test strategies.
• Hands-on experience with Grafana LGTM stack (Loki, Mimir, Tempo).
• Familiarity with GitOps workflows (e.g., Flux CD, Argo CD).
• Must be eligible to work in Poland.
