WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We are looking for two middle-level Software QA Automation Engineers capable of designing, executing, and maintaining automated tests within our existing Playwright/TypeScript framework, and who enjoy contributing to end-to-end quality across our products. They will play an important role in our QA team, extending automated test coverage, maintaining testing standards, and supporting both automated and exploratory testing efforts

• Conduct thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved.
• Execute API and network-level testing for backend services and third-party integrations, using tools such as Proxyman.
• Mock error and edge-case scenarios (e.g., 4xx/5xx responses, timeouts, malformed payloads) using Proxyman to validate how the app handles failures.
• Participate in code review for test automation contributions.
• Review system requirements and track quality assurance metrics, such as defect densities and open defect counts.
• Liaise with internal teams (e.g., developers and product managers) to identify system requirements.
• Support exploratory and manual testing in areas where automated coverage is still being built.
• Investigate the causes of non-conforming software and coach others on implementing solutions.
• Stay up to date with new testing tools and testing strategies.

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE

• 2-4 years of QA experience, including hands-on automation.
• Solid working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.

• Knowledge of Agile methodologies and CI/CD environments (we use GitLab CI).

• Nice to have exposure to AI-assisted testing tools, or experience in the iGaming/betting domain.
