The Senior Automation QA / Test Engineer will join a greenfield project for a European Public Sector client, taking ownership of quality across a newly built software application, covering backend and frontend services. This is an AI-first delivery environment where tools such as Kiro, Claude Code and Microsoft Copilot support test design and generation. You will apply critical judgement to validate AI-generated outputs, embed testing throughout the delivery lifecycle, and help the team deliver a reliable, secure, accessible and maintainable solution.

• Define and own the test strategy, quality gates and risk-based approach across backend and frontend components.
• Design, build and maintain automated unit, integration, acceptance, API and frontend/component tests.
• Embed automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and support a strong Test Driven Development culture.
• Use AI engineering tools to accelerate test design and generation, while reviewing and validating every AI-generated output.
• Perform REST API and contract testing with Swagger, Postman and automated test suites.
• Validate non-functional requirements, including OWASP security awareness, performance and WCAG accessibility.
• Monitor code quality and coverage, report defects and quality risks, and drive issues through to resolution.
• Collaborate in an Agile environment, sharing ideas and expertise.

• At least 5 years of professional experience in software quality assurance or test engineering, with strong hands-on test automation expertise.
• Proven ability to develop test strategies and work with TDD, unit, integration, acceptance and frontend/component testing.
• Strong API testing and contract validation experience with REST, Swagger and Postman.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD workflows using Git and tools such as Jenkins, Bitbucket or GitHub.
• Practical knowledge of code quality and coverage analysis, ideally with Sonar, plus defect management and reporting in Jira.
• Experience with OWASP-aligned security testing and WCAG accessibility testing; performance or load testing is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering tools, particularly Kiro; Claude Code is strongly preferred, and Microsoft Copilot or Junie is an advantage.
