At Sporting Rock, we don't just build features — we build systems that organize and power the world of sports. Quality isn't something that happens just before a release; it's built into everything we do. We're looking for a QA Engineer who is passionate about software quality, test automation, and continuous improvement to ensure every release is reliable, scalable, and delivers an exceptional user experience.
What you’ll do
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test cases across our products using Playwright.
- Continuously improve and expand our automated testing framework and overall testing strategy.
- Build and maintain robust end-to-end, regression, integration, and API test suites.
- Perform manual testing when appropriate to validate new features, edge cases, and exploratory scenarios that are not yet covered by automation.
- Create comprehensive test plans to ensure coverage aligns with product requirements.
- Work closely with Software Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers throughout the development lifecycle.
- Identify, document, and drive the resolution of software defects.
- Investigate issues and validate fixes using logs, monitoring, and error tracking tools (e.g., Datadog, Dash0).
- Improve the reliability and maintainability of automated tests within our CI/CD pipelines.
- Contribute to QA best practices, engineering processes, and release quality.
- Advocate for quality throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
What you bring
- Bachelor's degree in technical education related to software engineering.
- 2+ years of professional experience in Software Quality Assurance or Software Testing.
- Hands-on experience with test automation using Playwright (or frameworks like Cypress/Selenium).
- Good proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript.
- Strong understanding of functional, regression, integration, end-to-end, and API testing.
- Familiarity with bug tracking tools (ClickUp, Jira) and monitoring/error tracking tools.
- Understanding of Agile development practices (Scrum/Kanban) and modern Git-based workflows.
- Strong analytical thinking, high attention to detail, and a proactive mindset.
- Excellent communication skills in English.
Nice to have
- Experience working in a microservice-based architecture.
- Familiarity with Go (Golang).
- Experience with observability platforms (Dash0, Datadog) and modern CI/CD pipelines.
- German language skills.
What we offer
- Real ownership & impact — shape quality across innovative products used in the real world.
- Modern tech stack — work with modern tools including Go, React, Playwright, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
- Mentorship & growth — opportunities for continuous learning and professional development.
- Strong engineering culture — a collaborative, international team that values clean code and continuous improvement.
- Fair conditions — competitive compensation, location-specific benefits, and flexible working arrangements.
- Shared passion — sports, technology, and building exceptional software.
