We are looking for a QA Engineer who is eager to embark on an exciting new opportunity!

What is this challenge about

  • Own end-to-end quality for the Antidote platform, becoming the internal expert on how it works.
  • Build and maintain a Playwright-based automated test suite from the ground up.
  • Carry out structured manual testing of new features, bug fixes, and releases.
  • Contribute to sprint planning and feature design, providing a quality and user perspective early in the process.
  • Define and document QA processes, testing standards, and release checklists.
  • Identify, log, and track bugs with clear reproduction steps and prioritisation.
  • Work closely with engineers to ensure issues are understood and resolved effectively.
  • Continuously improve test coverage and quality practices as the product evolves.

What we’re looking for

  • Proven experience in a QA or SDET role on a SaaS product.
  • Hands-on experience writing automated end-to-end tests with Playwright (or a comparable framework such as Cypress or Selenium, with willingness to move to Playwright).
  • Strong instincts for manual exploratory testing — you find the bugs others miss.
  • Comfortable contributing to product discussions, not just executing a test plan,
  • Excellent communication skills; able to write clear bug reports and talk through issues with engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike,
  • Self-directed and comfortable working without an existing QA framework to lean on.

Nice to have

  • Experience working in a startup or early-stage product environment.
  • Familiarity with legal tech, fintech, or compliance-adjacent SaaS products.
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and integrating tests into automated build workflows.
  • ISTQB or equivalent QA certification.
