Romania (Remote-first) | Contract | Start Now.

About Tribes

We're a UK digital technology company that builds real products for real clients — and we do it

faster than most because we're AI-first by design. We're hiring a QA Engineer to join our

Bucharest hub and take ownership of quality across a portfolio of complex, high-stakes

engineering engagements. You'll work closely with our engineers and CTO to ensure what we

ship is solid, well-tested, and production-ready.

About the Role

This is not a role for someone who writes test cases by hand and logs bugs in a spreadsheet.

We expect our QA engineers to use AI tooling as a core part of their workflow — generating test

cases, automating coverage, and moving fast without sacrificing rigour. You'll be embedded

across active engineering projects, working alongside developers from the earliest stages of a

build through to production release.

What You'll Do

Use AI tools to generate, review, and iterate on test cases as a core part of your daily workflow

Design and maintain automated test suites across front-end, back-end, and API layers

Work closely with engineers from the start of each project — shaping test strategy during

discovery, not after delivery

Own end-to-end test coverage across our client portfolio, including regression,

integration, and smoke testing

Identify, document, and track bugs with clarity — writing defect reports that engineers

can act on immediately

Contribute to CI/CD pipeline quality gates and help enforce standards around code

coverage and deployment readiness

Flag risk early — surface quality issues before they become client problems

What You'll Need

Proven experience in QA engineering, with a strong focus on test automation

Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks — Playwright, Cypress, or

equivalent

Ability to write and maintain tests in JavaScript or TypeScript

Solid understanding of REST APIs and experience testing back-end services-

Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into deployment

workflows

Willingness to fully adopt AI-assisted workflows as a core part of how you work

Good written and spoken English — you'll be working with UK-based stakeholders and

engineering teams

Self-directed — you take ownership, flag issues proactively, and drive quality without

being chased

Nice to Have

Hands-on experience with AI dev tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) applied to

test generation or QA workflows

Experience testing applications built with Next.js or React

Exposure to performance testing, load testing, or accessibility auditing

Familiarity with .NET or Node.js back-end environments

Experience working across multiple concurrent client projects

What We Offer

Work with AI tooling that genuinely makes your job better and faster

Direct exposure to enterprise accounts and complex, meaningful projects

A supportive senior team invested in your growth

This is a remote-first role. We do not have a fixed office attendance requirement.

As a certified B Corp, we believe business should be a force for good. That means we care not

only about the quality of the software we build, but also about how we operate as a company —

supporting our team, acting with integrity, building long-term relationships, and creating positive

impact through the work we do. We're building a culture centred around trust, accountability, growth, and meaningful contribution, where talented people can do some of the best work of

their careers whilst helping shape a modern, responsible technology business.
