Senior QA Engineer ( Manual & Automation )

About this role

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Arionkoder is an AI consulting firm helping companies build, embed, and own AI systems that drive real business outcomes. We combine Product Development, Artificial Intelligence, and Team Augmentation to craft digital products and solutions that create lasting impact — guided by a human-centric approach and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what technology can do.</span></p></div><p style="line-height: 1.4;" data-renderer-start-pos="154" data-local-id="81ee354cdfdf"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We are looking for a <strong>Senior Quality Engineer</strong> to own quality end-to-end across one of our core product teams and continuously raise the quality bar of the products you support. This is a hybrid role: you are equally comfortable designing manual and exploratory test scenarios as you are writing and maintaining automated suites in CI. You think about quality from the moment a requirement is drafted—not after the code is merged.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4;" data-renderer-start-pos="586" data-local-id="98586c05b43e"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, product managers, designers, and DevOps to shape what "done" means: defining acceptance criteria, designing test coverage that reflects real product risk, and acting as the final checkpoint before anything reaches production.

We need a quality engineer who challenges unclear requirements, asks the uncomfortable questions early, and treats production confidence as a deliverable — measured in fewer surprises in production, faster releases, and a stronger quality culture across the teams you work with.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4;" data-renderer-start-pos="1054" data-local-id="1fab4e1c9278"> </p> <p style="line-height: 1.4;" data-renderer-start-pos="1054" data-local-id="1fab4e1c9278"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Required Qualifications</strong></span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.4;" data-renderer-start-pos="1054" data-local-id="1fab4e1c9278"> </p> <ul class="ak-ul" data-local-id="62d6f3ed-fb21-4b69-a948-03a8dbcd4e95" data-indent-level="1"> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4393" data-local-id="0131791ad627"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><em data-renderer-mark="true"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">7+ years of professional Quality Engineering / QA experience</strong> in modern software products, with demonstrable depth in both manual and <em class="Highlight hta149d95c-8d5d-4f04-8890-24a99d3757aa">automation</em> (not one bolted onto the other).</em></span></p> </li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4573" data-local-id="51795886e00b"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><em data-renderer-mark="true"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Experience designing test cases, test plans, and test strategies</strong> for non-trivial systems — covering happy paths, edge cases, negative scenarios, integrations, and non-functional risks.</em></span></p> </li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4759" data-local-id="610d2c000cae"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><em data-renderer-mark="true"><strong data-renderer-mark="true">Experience building and maintaining automated test suites</strong> in production-grade CI environments, with hands-on framework decisions and ownership of flakiness, reliability, and reporting.</em></span></p> </li> <li style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <p data-renderer-start-pos="4945" data-local-id="e3db18114731"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><em data-renderer-mark="true">Strong <strong data-renderer-mark="true">experience with at least one…
