Senior QA Automation Engineer

At BetSymphony, we’re building a multi-brand iGaming platform that helps operators run their business in regulated markets worldwide.  It brings together three main products — Player Account Management (PAM), Sportsbook, and Casino — all built on a modern microservices architecture using Scala, with a React/TypeScript back office. 

As an Automation QA Engineer, you will take ownership of quality engineering across BetSymphony’s platform services. 
The platform already has strong test automation in place for key production services, and the goal is to both expand coverage across existing areas and ensure all new development is properly covered from the start. 

You’ll work with a distributed team that uses AI tools as a normal part of the development process. Engineers are expected to use AI to speed up delivery, improve test quality, and reduce repetitive work — it’s part of everyday work.
