We’re a fast-growing SaaS company with big ambitions and an even bigger opportunity ahead. If you’re excited by innovation, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want to work on something that truly makes a difference, then Altura is the place for you.

Join us in transforming the way organizations win—and let’s build the future together.

TL;DR

We are looking for a qualified QA Automation Engineer to join our team. You will work with another Test Engineer to establish an automation process, collaborating closely with the development team to design and execute testing strategies. This role requires the ability to work autonomously while contributing effectively as part of a team. We value innovation and are excited to hear and implement your fresh ideas to enhance the quality of our products through automation.

Our tech stack includes:

• C# for backend development.

• JIRA for defect and requirement management.
• Azure DevOps for test management and CI/CD pipelines.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate the testing process for your team and elevate the product's quality.
• Automate standard parts of our testing process using tools like Playwright (our preference), Selenium and Cypress to ensure efficient and effective functionality testing.
• Prepare test deliverables, including test plans, test data, and test scripts, to verify that the actual results match the expected outcomes.
• Collaborate with development and product teams to identify and resolve issues and defects in new features and existing functionality.
• Develop and maintain automated test scripts to ensure software quality and reliability.
• Analyze user stories or product designs to identify uncovered edge cases and improve planned features before development.
• Work with cross-functional teams to ensure quality assurance standards are met.
• Continuously improve the testing process by exploring new technologies and methodologies.

Qualifications:

• Over 3 years of experience in automated software testing, web app testing automation, and API testing.

• Strong knowledge of scripting languages related to test automation and OOP.
• Hands-on experience with automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress and Selenium.
• Experience with setting up CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Solid understanding of software testing methodologies and best practices.

Why you should apply:

• You take ownership of everything you do. At Altura, you will have the freedom to make key decisions, own projects, and experiment with new ideas. If you thrive in environments that reward creativity and independence, we want to hear from you!
• You are passionate about innovation. We tackle new and uncharted problems every day. If you are excited to work on cutting-edge problems and create solutions, we want to hear from you!

Why should you not apply:

• At Altura, roles can be fluid. Success here requires wearing many hats and zooming out on our strategy to drive impact. If you prefer well-defined responsibilities and career paths, this might not be the right fit for you.
• Alturians take initiative and solve problems without much guidance. If you thrive on close supervision or clear processes, and seek extensive mentorship, this might not be the right fit for you.
• We believe that it is good to make mistakes – taking risks leads to more growth and learning. If you are afraid of failure, this might not be the right for you.
