The role

As a Senior QA Engineer at ShiftKey, you will be responsible for ensuring product quality in a fast‑paced environment. You will be embedded within an Engineering Squad, working closely with developers and product partners to ensure features are thoroughly tested, reliable, and ready for release. This role is primarily focused on manual testing, with approximately 20–30% of the work dedicated to test automation. Within this scope, you will not only maintain existing automated tests but also identify gaps, propose improvements, and implement enhancements to the automated test suite. You will own quality outcomes within your squad, contribute to release readiness, and help shape testing practices across the team. You are expected to think beyond test execution and actively influence how quality is built into the product.

• Practical experience with test automation tools and improving existing automated tests.
• Good understanding of software testing fundamentals, including test design, coverage, and defect management.
