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.
