Don't just watch the AI revolution. Build the infrastructure that controls and secures it., AI is transforming how software is built, tested and delivered. At Gravitee, we're looking beyond traditional QA Automation Engineers, we're looking for someone who can help redefine how quality engineering works in an AI-native organisation.

  • Partner with the engineering and product team throughout the software development lifecycle to build quality into every feature from the start.
  • Design, build and evolve scalable automation frameworks covering UI, API and end-to-end testing.
  • Develop reliable automated test suites and integrate them into our CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, continuous feedback.
  • Identify product risks early and define the most effective testing strategy for new features, ensuring the right level of test coverage across the testing pyramid.
  • Drive the transition from manual regression testing to intelligent, scalable automation across multiple engineering teams.
  • Collaborate with developers to improve testability, investigate production issues and continuously strengthen product quality.
  • Establish and promote QA automation best practices, helping standardise approaches across the engineering organisation.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate test design, automate repetitive tasks, improve coverage and reduce flaky tests.
  • Experiment with emerging AI-assisted testing techniques and evaluate how they can improve engineering productivity.
  • Stay current with modern testing practices and continuously identify opportunities to improve our quality engineering capabilities., * Competitive medical coverage
  • Pension / 401k program options
  • Stock options - you build it, you own it
  • 25 days holiday + in-country national holidays

  • Professional development budget to fuel your growth
  • Hybrid work culture with hubs across regions
  • Quarterly team events + annual offsite at an exciting location
  • A meaningful, progressive, global company culture that is as fun as it is hardworking
  • Endless growth opportunities

Requirements

  • 5+ years' experience in QA Automation, Test Automation, Quality Engineering, or Software Development in Test, with strong hands-on experience designing, building and maintaining automated tests.
  • Strong understanding of software testing principles, including risk-based testing and test strategy.
  • Proven experience designing, building and maintaining automated test frameworks.
  • Strong experience testing APIs and building automated UI and end-to-end test suites.
