Quality is not a phase. It’s a mindset. And at FLOYT Mobility, it’s a critical part of how we build products people trust. We’re a well-established e-commerce platform with more than 20 years of experience , powering millions of users. In recent years, we’ve expanded beyond the web into native Android and iOS apps , all running on a shared backend. That means complexity, scale, and a huge opportunity to do quality really well . We’re now looking for a Senior QA Engineer (Automation) to help us evolve our web, API and mobile automation strategy . You’ll work side by side with developers to keep critical user journeys green, embed testing deeply into our CI/CD pipelines, and help the team ship confidently to production, release after release. This is a hands-on, impact-driven role for someone who loves automation, cares deeply about reliability, and believes quality is a shared responsibility. Key Responsibilities Web Automation Contribute to and review Cypress tests to ensure parity across critical user flows. Maintain and improve existing automation frameworks, focusing on speed, stability and long-term maintainability.

Support contract testing between services (e.g. Pact or similar) to ensure integration stability. Collaborate closely with backend engineers on schema validation, test data strategies and edge cases. CI/CD & Quality Gates Integrate automation test suites into GitLab CI/CD pipelines with clear quality gates. Analyse and triage test failures, reduce flakiness, and continuously improve test reliability. Help ensure automation is a true enabler of fast, safe releases, not a bottleneck. Mobile Automation Run release test cycles and BrowserStack App Automate testing on real devices.

Ensure mobile-specific scenarios are properly covered and reliable. Supporting Automated Testing Initiatives Pair with developers to improve testability (IDs, contracts, mocks). Help reproduce complex or tricky bugs through automation. Keep documentation clear and practical: README files, examples, selector strategies, and “how to run locally & in CI”. Share best practices through short knowledge-sharing sessions or brown-bags. Fostering a Culture of Quality Quality at FLOYT Mobility is a team sport! You’ll actively educate and guide developers on the value of testing across the entire software development lifecycle.
