QA Automation Engineer

We’re hiring a QA Automation Engineer to join the Investment Risk IT team of a leading global asset management firm in Madrid.

You’ll help shape the quality culture of their risk platforms, combining thoughtful manual testing with pragmatic automation. It’s a team that values ownership, curiosity and clear communication, and where quality is built in from day one, not added at the end.

What you’ll do

• Design and run manual tests across frontend, API and database layers, focusing on edge cases and business risks
• Build and maintain automated tests with Cucumber and Serenity BDD
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) for fast, reliable feedback
• Support performance and load testing
• Report quality status clearly using Allure
• Work closely with developers, BAs and product owners, and propose improvements to QA practices and tooling

What we’re looking for

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar
• 3+ years in QA, with solid experience in both manual testing and test automation
• Experience with Serenity BDD, Cucumber and/or Gatling
• Hands-on with Git, Jenkins and Gradle
• REST API and web services testing experience
• Fluent English; German is a plus
• Comfortable using AI tools responsibly to boost productivity

Nice to have

• Experience in finance, investment risk or asset management
• ISTQB certification

What’s on offer

• Full-time role in a global, industry-leading company
• Flexible benefits package (healthcare, retirement plan and more)
• Inclusive, collaborative culture with real room to grow
