Artificial Intelligence JIRA Automation of Tests Code Coverage Software Engineering Strategies of Testing

Job description

At Vortech PCI Group, we are looking for a Senior QA Engineer with a functional testing background to act as the quality reference within a large international development team.

This is not a hands-on automation role: we are looking for someone who owns the testing strategy, leads functional quality, and becomes “the voice of quality” for the whole team - someone with the seniority and communication skills to influence developers, Product Owners, and stakeholders.

Your role

You will join a large, international software development team, taking ownership of quality end to end.

Your Main Responsibilities Will Include

  • Defining the test strategy, scope, and test plans for the product
  • Executing and coordinating functional and manual testing activities
  • Establishing acceptance criteria and ensuring adequate test coverage
  • Managing defects throughout the development lifecycle, including severity assessment and follow-up
  • Working closely with developers and the Product Owner as the quality counterpart
  • Guiding the development team on how to prepare and structure automated tests
  • Reviewing the results of test automation and AI-assisted testing to ensure reliability
  • Promoting a quality-first culture and coaching the team on QA best practices

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in QA, with a strong functional/manual testing background
  • Proven experience defining test strategies and test plans from scratch
  • Experience managing defects, acceptance criteria, and quality reporting
  • Solid understanding of test automation concepts - enough to review, orient, and challenge automated tests (you will not be responsible for building the framework)
  • Experience managing testing workflows using JIRA or similar tools
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to lead by influence within large teams
  • Autonomy, ownership, and a genuine quality mindset
  • English level B2+ or higher, as you will work in international environments
  • French is a strong plus
  • Ability to work from within European territory

Benefits & conditions

  • Opportunity to work on international technology projects in a leading industrial environment
  • A role with real ownership and visibility: you define how quality is done
  • Collaboration with high-level engineering teams
  • Flexible and modern working environment
  • Career growth opportunities within a growing technology consulting company
  • Competitive compensation package

Interested?

If you are passionate about software quality, testing strategy, and leading quality within modern development teams, we would love to hear from you.
