Role
Senior QA Automation Engineer
About You
Are you the kind of engineer who sees quality as a technical challenge rather than a manual process? Do you enjoy building automated test frameworks, creating release safeguards and preventing production issues before they happen? Are you as comfortable writing code as you are designing quality strategies and identifying risks across complex systems? If you enjoy improving how software is built, tested and released, DFYNE could be exactly where you belong.

About The Role — DFYNE Your Career
Before I tell you more about the role, let me introduce myself. I’m Bruce, Head of Development at DFYNE, and I’m looking for our first dedicated Senior QA Automation Engineer.

You will help protect systems that handle commission payouts, refunds, inventory synchronisation, shipping labels and other business-critical processes where quality has a direct commercial impact.
