Find your dream job We usually respond within two weeks About TimeLog : TimeLog is a leading Professional Services Automation (PSA) software, dedicated to helping professional service organizations streamline business processes and boost productivity. TimeLog fills the GAP between Project Managers and the Finance Department in the consulting business, empowering Project Managers to manage project financials in a way compliant with the requirements set by finance. About the Role: We're seeking a Quality Engineer to build our testing capabilities and quality assurance practices from the ground up. This is a high-impact role where you'll help establish the best practices, standards, and culture that define how we deliver quality software at TimeLog. You'll have the opportunity to influence our testing strategy from scratch while working hands-on to implement automated test suites across our web applications and APIs. At TimeLog, we're looking for someone who embodies a "Product Engineer" mindset. Someone who doesn't see QA as a gatekeeper role, but as an enabler of quality throughout the development process. You'll take end-to-end responsibility for quality outcomes, working collaboratively with development teams rather than as a final checkpoint. Your success will be measured by how well you enable engineering teams to build quality into their work from the start. As part of a small, focused team, you'll be expected to take initiative and lead the technical direction for all things quality. This is both a hands-on technical role (building test suites, writing automation code) and a strategic leadership position (defining what to automate versus manually test, determining where to invest effort for maximum impact). You'll have significant autonomy and influence over how we approach quality across the entire organization. Key responsibilities: Design and build automated end-to-end test suites for our web applications and APIs using modern testing frameworks like Playwright. Establish and evangelize testing standards, best practices, and patterns across Product Development teams. Develop and implement a comprehensive regression testing strategy that ensures release confidence while minimizing test execution time. Make strategic decisions about what to automate versus manually test, optimizing for bug detection impact relative to effort invested. Ensure quality for customer migrations from our legacy product to our new cloud-native platform, including data validation and end-to-end migration testing. Integrate automated tests into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines to provide fast feedback on code changes. Implement and guide non-functional testing practices including load testing, performance testing, and reliability testing. Collaborate across development teams as a QA partner and advisor. Create comprehensive test documentation, runbooks, and quality metrics dashboards to provide visibility into product quality. Upskill and mentor engineers on testing practices, test design principles, and automation techniques. Implement test monitoring and observability to track test effectiveness, flakiness, and coverage over time. Determine appropriate test environment strategies and test data management approaches that support efficient testing workflows. Required experience and skills Testing expertise Extensive experience with end-to-end test automation using frameworks like Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, or similar tools. Strong knowledge of API testing approaches and tools for REST services. Deep understanding of test design principles including test pyramids, coverage strategies, and risk-based testing. Proven experience building test infrastructure and automation frameworks from scratch. CI/CD and DevOps Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, preferably with Azure DevOps. Understanding of deployment patterns, release processes, and how testing fits into continuous delivery workflows. Experience with test environment management, test data strategies, and managing test dependencies. Technical skills Strong programming and scripting abilities. Comfortable writing maintainable test code and automation scripts (C#/.NET experience is a plus given our Microsoft technology stack). Solid understanding of web application architecture, HTTP/REST APIs, and modern web technologies. Proficiency with Git version control and experience working in agile development environments. Comfortable working in both Linux and Windows environments. Non-functional testing Hands-on experience with load and performance testing tools such as JMeter, k6, Azure Load Testing, or similar platforms. Ability to reason about system behavior under load, identify performance bottlenecks, and recommend optimizations. Understanding of performance monitoring, observability practices, and how to instrument tests for diagnosability. Nice to have Experience with the Microsoft testing ecosystem including xUnit, NUnit, and Azure DevOps Test Plans for test case management and exploratory testing. Knowledge of .NET/C# development and familiarity with the Microsoft development toolchain. Container and Kubernetes testing experience, including testing in containerized environments. Security testing practices and vulnerability assessment experience. Knowledge of compliance and regulatory testing requirements in enterprise software. Familiarity with chaos engineering and reliability testing practices. Experience testing data pipelines and ETL processes, including data quality validation, schema testing, and pipeline reliability (e.g., in Databricks, Apache Spark, or similar platforms). Familiarity with data testing frameworks such as Great Expectations, dbt tests, or similar tools for asserting data correctness and completeness. What We're Looking For: Ownership mentality that extends beyond writing tests to caring about overall quality outcomes and customer satisfaction. Platform/QA-as-a-product thinking: treating testing infrastructure and capabilities as products you're building for internal engineering customers. Strong communication skills with the ability to explain testing concepts to engineers, product managers, and leadership alike. Interest in understanding the business context and product strategy behind testing requirements. What you'll gain: Work with modern testing tools, frameworks, and cloud-native technologies in an Azure/Microsoft environment. Collaborate with talented engineering teams on challenging technical problems. Shape the quality culture and testing practices for the entire engineering organization. Professional development in emerging QA practices, automation techniques, and modern testing approaches. We value diverse perspectives and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds who meet the core requirements and share our passion for building quality software that delights customers. Don't wait. We're excited to welcome your application today!
