QA Automation Engineer

Quality Assurance (QA) remains one of the biggest unsolved challenges in software development. Companies spend over $20 billion every year on software testing in Europe and the United States alone, and yet critical bugs still reach production. Teams lose time, customers lose trust, and products lose momentum.

If you're a
recent graduate or early in your tech career
, this is a great place to start. You'll work on real problems, learn fast, and see the impact of your work right away.

You might be wondering: why Software Quality Engineering?

Developers focus on building features. QA Engineers focus on making sure those features work properly together, in real-world scenarios, for actual users. But this is not a support role or a less technical path. Quality Engineering can be just as challenging, hands-on, and impactful as development. It depends on how you approach it.

This is an engineering role that requires you to think about systems, dependencies, edge cases, and how to design checks that prevent failure before it happens. It's not easier. It's not lower-paid. It's just a different area of expertise that demands its own deep skill set.

In this role, you'll work across teams, help define how quality is built into products, and grow fast by solving problems that affect users directly.

At QA DNA, this is exactly the kind of thinking we apply every day.
We work with software product teams to build automated testing setups that are reliable, scalable, and built for the real world. Our approach is hands-on and focused. We use the right tools, lean on solid engineering practices, and stay close to how modern teams actually build software.

This involves building a culture of quality, and we believe that starts with people
(like you?)
. We invest in young professionals, give them hands-on experience, and help them grow into engineers who understand the real impact of their work.

We're looking for a QA Automation Engineer to join our team
. You will be an integral part of delivering a high-quality experience for the users of the products we support. This is a hands-on, technical role where your work will directly impact how real software performs in the real world.
