Description

Independent electronic music platform (since 2001, B Corp certified) serving around 7 million monthly users across web, iOS, Android and a door-scanning app promoters use at venues. The Senior QA Engineer owns quality across five product teams: keeping automated test suites healthy, helping teams write better tests, and personally testing the riskiest releases. High-risk areas include payments, checkout and getting people into venues on the night; other changes are a line of copy. The role also uses AI tools to write and maintain tests and coordinates an external testing partner.

Responsibilities

Keep the web end-to-end test suite healthy: fix flaky tests, add coverage for new features and make sure a failing suite gets fixed quickly
Grow automated testing for the iOS and Android apps and the door-scanning app with the developers, so mobile tests run on every change
Test high-risk releases yourself, such as payments and checkout, including edge cases and what happens when things fail
Review the test plans teams write and help them improve
Use AI tools to write and maintain tests, help developers do the same and check what the tools produce
Brief the external testing partner and review the results they send back
Report bugs clearly and follow them through with developers and product managers
Track a few simple measures, such as bugs that reach production and how reliable the automated tests are

Requirements

Several years in QA or test engineering, typically four or more, testing web and mobile products
Hands-on test automation: built and maintained automated tests running in CI for web, for example Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, and ideally mobile
Mobile automation is a plus: XCUITest on iOS and Espresso with Kotlin on Android
Enough coding to write and fix tests alongside developers in a language such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin or Swift
Can test APIs and check data with SQL
Good judgement about risk: what to test deeply, what lightly and what not at all
Has used AI tools in testing work and knows where they help and where they don't
Clear writing: bug reports and test plans other people can act on
Nice to have: CircleCI or a similar CI tool
Nice to have: experience working with an external testing partner
Nice to have: payments, checkout or ticketing systems experience
Nice to have: testing apps used at live events with poor networks
Nice to have: test management tools such as Qase or TestRail
