Project Description
For our client, we are looking for an experienced QA Engineer (m/f/d) with a focus on manual testing as well as test automation with Playwright. In this role, you ensure that the client's software works the way users and the business expect. You design and execute thorough manual tests, grow the Playwright-based automation, and validate data through APIs.
You work closely with Product Owners, Designers, and developers in an Agile (Scrum) team, and you help raise the quality standards of the whole team. The role covers the full breadth of the testing process – from test case design to test execution (functional, regression, integration, system, exploratory, UAT) through to defect management and release support. You also actively contribute to the continuous improvement of QA processes, standards, and documentation.
Start: 01.12.2026
Duration: 10 months (until 30.09.2027)
Workload: Full-time (100%)
Location: Remote, with occasional travel to on-site workshops (for example: Düsseldorf, Madrid)
