We usually respond within three days Senior QA Automation Engineer (PHP) - B2B Contract This is an initial 3 to 6 month contract, starting as soon as possible. You'll embed into one of our product squads as its quality engineer, alongside a tech lead, a principal engineer, three full-stack engineers and a platform engineer.

This is a capacity role alongside an established permanent team, so you'll need to be productive quickly without a long ramp. The platform This is a large-scale marketplace. Very few platforms handle a product catalogue or transaction volume at this level. It runs on PHP and Laravel today. The roadmap includes agentic AI workflows built into the platform, retail media integrated directly into the marketplace, and infrastructure work targeting cost and performance at high volume. Much of this is being attempted at volumes rarely tested in a marketplace before, so the work leans research-led rather than routine. Who this suits A fast-paced environment where the ground shifts.
