QA Automation Engineer
Overview
Pixid is entering an ambitious transformation phase and is looking for the next builders of this change. The platform is highly configurable and used by multiple international stakeholders, making the challenge particularly stimulating. PIXID manages more than 222,000 companies connected to over 12,000 temporary work agencies. Each month, they exchange more than 2.5 million documents, representing a purchasing volume estimated at nearly €11 billion. We’re seeking a skilled QA Automation Engineer to drive quality automation across API, end-to-end, and performance testing. This role is critical in maintaining high-quality standards as we transition to a microservice architecture. You’ll build robust automation frameworks, ensure system reliability at scale, and implement quality gates throughout the CI/CD pipeline. You’ll work closely with Product Owners to define acceptance criteria and with developers to clarify API contracts and UI.
Key Responsibilities
Quality mindset: Champion quality standards across the team, proactively identifying risks and proposing improvements to prevent defects rather than just detecting them.
Test Automation: Design and implement comprehensive API test automation frameworks, covering functional, integration, and contract testing for RESTful and event-driven services.
End-to-End Testing: Develop and maintain E2E test suites that validate critical user journeys across multiple micro-services and frontend applications.
Performance Engineering: Design and execute load testing strategies, including stress, spike, endurance, and scalability testing, to ensure system performance under various conditions.
Framework Development: Extend reusable test automation frameworks and libraries that can scale across multiple squads.
Quality Gates: Implement automated quality gates in CI pipelines, ensuring code doesn’t progress without meeting quality criteria.
Cross-team Collaboration: Work closely with development, DevOps, and product teams to embed quality practices throughout the SDLC.
Qualifications
Experience: 5+ years of QA experience with at least 3 years focused on test automation.
API Testing Expertise: Strong experience with REST API testing tools (Postman, Bruno, REST Assured, Karate) and API test automation frameworks.
E2E Testing Skills: Proficiency in E2E testing frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium WebDriver) with experience in cross-browser and cross-platform testing.
Performance Testing: Hands-on experience with load testing tools (JMeter, K6) and performance monitoring (using ELK, Grafana).
Programming Skills: Strong coding abilities in JavaScript/TypeScript for test automation development.
CI/CD Integration: Experience integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI).
Microservices Testing: Understanding of testing strategies for distributed systems, including service virtualization and chaos engineering.
Version Control: Proficiency with Git and branching strategies.
Languages: English C1, French B2+.
