Job title: Senior QA Engineer (Automation) Type: Full-time, Contract Start date: April Initial contract duration: Two months What you’ll do You’ll join hedgehog lab as a Senior QA Engineer. Your first engagement will be leading quality on a premium, subscription-based web product for a global client. It’s used by senior decision makers. Accuracy and trust are critical. You’ll define the QA strategy. You’ll set non-functional standards. You’ll build automation that gives both us and our client confidence to release. This is not manual testing.
