IT Search is exclusively partnered with an Irish technology company that develops highly scalable, real-time software platforms supporting large volumes of transactions across a global user base.

They’re looking to hire a Senior QA Automation Engineer to join a high-calibre engineering team focused on delivering reliable, performant software in a complex distributed environment. This is very much an SDET-style role, where quality is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle rather than treated as a final stage of delivery.

Key requirements:

  • Strong automation testing experience with Python preferred (Java also considered)

  • Experience designing and maintaining automation frameworks

  • Strong API testing experience

  • Performance and load testing using JMeter

  • Experience working with distributed systems and event-driven architectures

  • Knowledge of Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQL/MySQL and Linux/Unix environments
