Senior Automation QA Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior Automation QA Engineer that is excited by the idea of disrupting the entire payments network through our revolutionary technology platform, and is enthusiastic about operating in a team that takes a modern approach to software engineering. At Runa, you’ll contribute towards Quality Assurance and Testing, both Manual and Automation, creating real value while simultaneously providing rapid feedback to the team.
Reporting to the Automation QA Lead, you'll work amongst a growing QA team. We’re passionate about growth and development, and working with a small yet extremely talented software engineering team will enable you to continually upskill and level up!

What Excites You

• The opportunity to join the Runa QA function as we continue to scale within software engineering, and company wide.
• Utilising your programming or scripting skills in an SDET capacity (Golang, Java, Python, Javascript, C#), and gain exposure to different programming languages like Typescript, and automation tools like Selenium and Cypress
• The chance to work with an extremely high performing engineering team following Test Driven Development (TDD)

What Excites Us

• 5+ years of experience of testing web applications and/or APIs as an Automation QA/SDET within a technology led, scale up business.
• Experience using Python, Java, JavaScript, Golang or equivalent coding language, with the ability to write clean, scalable, reusable and maintainable code for automated tests - we use selenium primarily but experience with similar tools is also of interest.
• Strong communication skills, able to communicate platform issues effectively with software engineers, business stakeholders and customers.
• A keen interest in keeping up to date with the latest test automation tools and frameworks.

Some of the projects you could be working on:

• Integration into all physical stores and merchants with POS. Consumers can spend their value where they want to as we go beyond Gift Cards.
• Continued development of our infrastructure. Transitioning to serverless infrastructure and microservices to enable us to scale rapidly as a team
• Building a brand new internal tool chain. So non technical teams can on-board new payment partners
• Building our wallet feature. Consumers can aggregate the value they accumulate and spend that digital value when and where they choose to.
• Technical resilience. As we become more integral to our customers’ businesses, how can we make sure that we can continue to serve them even when there are technical or logistics issues upstream.

Recent examples of new features:

• Runa Select. This allows us to give the customer choice, and therefore go beyond simply reselling gift cards and towards our strategic vision of helping value to flow more freely in the global economy. This project was technically challenging due to a requirement for it to work across a wide selection of devices.
• Self-serve brand on-boarding. Runa is growing rapidly, which means we have to challenge ourselves to use technology to give a great experience to our brand partners without them needing a lot of support from the customer success team.
• Ongoing integration with gift card processors. Right at the heart of Runa operations, this technology needs to scale seamlessly and maintain high standards of reliability, maintainability and security. We’re also constantly asking ourselves how we can make this process more efficient - how can we make a capital investment now to reduce operational spend in the future, and that in turn requires a creative take on the underlying technology.
