About the Company

A digital-first creative agency sitting at the intersection of creativity and technology – and refusing to be pigeonholed. With a global client roster spanning Fortune 100s and startups across tech, financial services, CPG, travel, media, and government, the hardest problems are the ones they crave. A network of nearly 2,000 people – 50% engineers, 50% creative talent – distributed across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Trusted by iconic brands including Adidas, Amazon, J.P. Morgan Chase, Microsoft, Marriott, and TikTok – this is where technology and creativity converge to build capabilities that didn’t exist before.

Senior Quality Engineer

A highly skilled, autonomous Senior Quality Engineer is needed to ensure the quality of first-class web experiences and custom digital products. This is a shift-left, advocacy-first role — not a checkbox function. Expect real ownership, technical excellence, and direct collaboration with engineering, design, and product teams solving real-world problems at scale.

What You’ll Do

  • Execute hands-on testing of responsive web and mobile applications and underlying infrastructure
  • Proactively advocate for clean code, process refinements, and continuous improvements
  • Partner with product teams to develop and maintain robust testing strategies with a shift-left mindset
  • Estimate and scope testing efforts and execution timelines while staying adaptable to requirement changes
  • Communicate test progress with clear, data-driven messaging to support informed decision-making
  • Lead requirements gathering, test execution, and regression testing across all functional systems
  • Support release cycles through scope planning, effort estimation, and final sign-off
  • Actively contribute to a Quality Practice Community to drive collaborative learning and innovation
  • Drive continuous improvement and knowledge sharing across the engineering organisation

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience as an autonomous, self-sufficient engineer who stays tactical under pressure
  • Expert ability to design stable, deterministic, flakiness-free tests across the full stack
  • Proven experience setting up and maintaining automation frameworks and libraries
  • Hands-on experience with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Katalon, and Robot Framework
  • Ability to integrate test frameworks into CI/CD pipelines — GitHub Actions or Jenkins
  • Deep experience with API testing (Postman) and load testing — JMeter or Blazemeter
  • Ability to read and troubleshoot HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, or Java
  • Strong knowledge of WCAG 2.1 AA+ accessibility standards and modern security guidelines
  • Proficiency in detecting memory issues and optimising application performance
  • Expert-level use of JIRA and Confluence for defect logging, test planning, and reporting
  • Experience with AI-assisted testing tools for test case generation and script development — highly desirable
  • Strong mentorship mindset with the ability to build a healthy, collaborative engineering culture
