Automate quality. Scale confidence.

Welcome to New Black - we're looking for a QA Engineer ready to level up our testing strategy. As a QA Engineer, you play a key role in ensuring our products, applications, and systems perform flawlessly. But more than that: you help us scale quality through automation, and bring AI-assisted testing into the everyday fabric of our development lifecycle.

About Your Role

As a QA Engineer, you are part of the team that guards the quality of our EVA Unified Commerce Platform. You design and run automated tests that prevent bugs before they happen, and you help us shift quality left - integrating testing earlier in the dev cycle.

You're not just executing test cases - you're helping to define how we test smarter, working alongside developers, Product Owners, and infrastructure teams. From frontend to backend, from regression to exploratory testing, your insights and automation mindset help EVA stay rock-solid.

As a QA Engineer, you:

• Review and analyze system specs to define test strategies.
• Build, maintain, and execute automated test cases, especially for APIs, performance, regression and IOS testing.
• Use tools (and AI assistants) to generate test cases, detect anomalies, and speed up QA workflows.
• Investigate bugs and document testing phases clearly, using logs and reports to support fast debugging.
• Collaborate with developers and Product Owners to ensure quality is built in from the start.
• Ensure post-deploy and post-implementation testing is automated and reliable.
• Stay curious and explore how AI and test automation can improve our QA process and scale our capabilities.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is fluent in English, both written and spoken.
• Has proven experience in Quality Assurance or Test Engineering, ideally in Agile teams.
• Has strong hands-on experience with test automation (e.g., Cypress, WebDriver IO, Playwright, Postman, or similar).
• Is skilled in front-end, back-end, and API testing.
• Is comfortable blending manual testing with automation, and sees automation as the path forward.
• Has an analytical mindset and can troubleshoot complex issues.
• Has experience testing mobile apps (a plus).
• Is eager to explore and develop new tech, including AI-enhanced testing tools.

• To be your own boss, for we don't have a hierarchy but implemented a holacratic way of working. Everyone is equal.
• State of the art equipment for your home office (AirPods Max, Macbook etc.), and many amazing perks which will reflect your effort and input.
• Determine your own working hours and days. Determine your own off-time and working location.
• When you come to the office - the travel is on us!
• Our own chef who prepares amazing lunches for you in the office.
