Adria Solutions is recruiting a Senior QA Automation Engineer for a technology business developing their digital platform. This hands-on role offers the opportunity to own test strategy, build an automation framework and shape quality practices within a growing engineering team.
Working closely with senior technology leadership and developers, you’ll help ensure the platform is reliable, secure and ready for release.
The role
- Establish a test strategy covering APIs, user interfaces, integrations and end-to-end workflows.
- Build and maintain automated testing frameworks.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, actionable feedback.
- Test complex transactions and data flows, including edge cases and failure scenarios.
- Develop regression, integration and performance testing, incorporating security considerations.
- Investigate defects, clearly document findings and verify fixes.
- Introduce QA standards, processes and tooling as the team grows.
- Work with developers to build testability into the platform and make quality a shared responsibility.
About you
You’ll bring strong experience as a QA Automation Engineer, Test Engineer or SDET, with the confidence to establish testing practices and remain hands-on.
Your skills and experience will include:
- API and UI test automation using tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium or REST-assured.
- Programming or scripting in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python or Java.
- Integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- A sound understanding of the test pyramid and risk-based testing.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate defects clearly.
- Attention to detail when testing systems where accuracy and data integrity are essential.
Experience building automation frameworks from scratch, contract testing or testing distributed systems would be particularly valuable. Performance testing, security testing and experience in a regulated environment would also be advantageous.
