## Description

Senior QA Engineer with Automation needed to join the Engineering team. This is a QA role with a meaningful automation component: the focus is on strong testing fundamentals, solid software design foundations, and identifying where automation adds real value, rather than a pure automation-first approach.

The role involves testing complex integrated web applications across both UI and API layers. Initially, most of the work will be manual QA; in the mid term, the expected split is roughly 70/30 automation-to-manual.

Responsibilities

 * UI and API testing of complex integrated web applications
 * Developing and refining test plans
 * Writing and maintaining automated tests, primarily using Cypress
 * Close collaboration with developers in an Agile environment
 * Tracking and managing test cases using JIRA, TestRail, and Qmetry
 * Identifying areas where manual testing processes can be automated for reliability and maintainability
