Requisition ID 36029 Office Country Bulgaria Office City Sofia Division Information Technology Contract Type Fixed Term Contract Length 3 years Posting End Date 02/03/2026

Join a forward-thinking engineering team driving quality excellence across complex, high-value financial platforms. As a Quality Engineer, youโ€™ll go beyond conventional testing by designing intelligent, automated test strategies that safeguard the integrity of critical systems. Youโ€™ll embed assurance deep into CI/CD pipelines, leveraging tools like Azure DevOps, Cypress, and REST-assured to validate everything from APIs to workflows. Every sprint, youโ€™ll play a hands-on role in shaping how quality is built, ensuring performance, compliance, and resilience standards stay flawless under real-world conditions.

This is a role for someone, who thrives on solving intricate testing challenges in data-heavy, regulated environments. Youโ€™ll partner with developers and product owners to push automation boundaries, transform manual bottlenecks into code-driven validation, and champion a โ€œshift-left, code-firstโ€ approach to quality. If youโ€™re passionate about precision, automation, and the craft of testing applications, this is where you can turn testing into engineering mastery.

What Youโ€™ll Do

Youโ€™ll be the driving force behind building quality into every layer of our engineering ecosystem - not as a gatekeeper, but as a creator of smart, automated, scalable assurance.

In this role, you will:

Design and execute powerful test scenarios across functional, integration, regression, and workflow layers.

Work handโ€‘inโ€‘hand with developers, analysts, and product owners to refine user stories and shape testable, unambiguous acceptance criteria.

Build reusable test data, automation scripts, and frameworks - embedding them directly into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous, code-first validation.

Drive root cause analysis and riskโ€‘based prioritisation, ensuring defects are eliminated early and sprint velocity remains high.

Champion a shift-left, qualityโ€‘first culture by participating fully in Agile ceremonies and advocating for security, accessibility, and usability.

Continuously enhance automation coverage and replace manual effort with scalable, modern testing solutions.
