About the Role
We're looking for a Senior QA Engineer who's passionate about quality engineering, automation, and building scalable testing practices from the ground up. You'll help define the future of quality at Plenful, partnering closely with Engineering, Product, and Design to deliver reliable software at startup speed.
In your first six months, you'll establish and improve automated testing coverage across our core platform, integrate automated testing throughout our deployment pipeline to reduce regression risk, and build the quality metrics that give engineering teams the confidence to ship faster without sacrificing reliability.

What You'll Do
- Own quality strategy across multiple products and engineering teams
- Design, build, and maintain robust automated test suites for web applications, APIs, backend services, and integrations
- Develop testing frameworks that are scalable, maintainable, and integrated into CI/CD pipelines
- Partner with software engineers during feature development to identify quality risks early
- Define test plans, acceptance criteria, and release readiness for new product initiatives
- Perform exploratory, functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing where appropriate
- Drive automation-first testing practices while minimizing manual regression testing
- Work closely with Product Managers and Designers to ensure requirements are testable and complete
- Monitor production quality metrics and partner with engineering to investigate customer-reported issues
- Champion engineering excellence through code reviews of test automation, quality metrics, and continuous process improvements
- Mentor engineers on testing best practices and help build a culture where quality is everyone's responsibility

- You have a strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated testing into deployment workflows
- You have experience with Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, and modern software development practices
- You have experience designing and running performance and load tests with tools like k6, Gatling, JMeter, or Locust — and know how to interpret the results against real system behavior
- You're familiar with SQL and validating data across relational databases
- You have strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills
- You communicate well and collaborate easily across Engineering, Product, and Design
Bonus points if you:
- Have tested AI or machine learning-enabled applications
- Have worked with healthcare software or in regulated environments
- Are familiar with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native architectures
- Have experience with performance, load, or security testing
- Have tested workflow automation platforms or enterprise SaaS products
- Have exposure to observability platforms such as Datadog, Grafana, or similar
- Have worked in fast-paced startup environments
Technologies you'll likely work with: Python, TypeScript, React, YAML, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, GitHub Actions, Playwright, REST APIs, and AI/LLM integrations
