QA Engineer with test automation (m/f/x)

Role Description

We are seeking a QA Engineer who combines strong manual testing skills with hands-on test automation experience. You will ensure the quality of customer-facing software where standards are high and tolerance for defects is very low — validating features end-to-end across web applications, REST APIs, and data layers, and building automation that gives the team fast, reliable feedback in CI/CD.

Responsibilities

• Create and execute functional, regression, integration, acceptance, and exploratory tests
• Test web applications across different browsers and screen sizes
• Validate complex workflows, edge cases, and database state using SQL
• Report and track bugs in Jira, and verify fixes
• Build a test automation framework from scratch
• Develop end-to-end tests with Playwright using TypeScript and/or Python
• Create API tests for REST/FastAPI endpoints
• Use mocks, fixtures, and reliable test data to keep automation stable
• Investigate failures using logs, network requests, browser DevTools, and test results
• Define regression scope and help determine whether releases are ready
• Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions/CI pipelines

Requirements

• 3+ years of QA experience on customer-facing software
• Strong experience with both manual testing and automation
• Hands-on Playwright experience
• Experience designing an automation framework from scratch
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills
• Good bug reporting and defect-management experience

NICE TO HAVE

• FastAPI/Python knowledge
• PostgreSQL and SQL experience
• Experience with B2B/data-heavy applications
• REST API testing using Postman or Playwright
• Basic performance/load testing
• Accessibility testing knowledge

Conditions and Benefits

• A minimum gross salary of 38.000 EUR per year (overpayment possible)
• Flexible working time
• Permanent full-time contract (38,5 h / week)
• Mobility package (1-year ticket for public transport in Tyrol or a parking space near the office)
• English/German course together with your team-mates
• A modern office in Innsbruck, in the middle of the Alp
