We are building a new digital bank from scratch, and we are looking for a QA Automation Lead to build our QA automation setup from day one.\nAs our first QA Automation Lead, you will take ownership of how quality is built into the platform across backend and mobile. You will define the testing approach, choose the right tools, and stay hands-on by building automation yourself.\nEvery day, you'll be #closer and:\nDefine the QA and test automation strategy from the ground up.\n\nBuild and evolve automation across backend/API (Java 21+, Spring Boot) and mobile (Kotlin Multiplatform - testing both iOS and Android behavior from one shared codebase).\n\nEstablish regression, end-to-end and smoke coverage, and extend it to web as the web product comes online.\n\nDrive API and contract testing, plus performance and stress testing.\n\nIntegrate automated testing into CI/CD (GitHub Actions) and into the way the team works day to day.\n\nUse AI tooling to generate, maintain and scale test suites - and set the standard for how the team does it.\n\nChallenge the development team on testability, failure modes and release readiness.\n\nContribute to running services at 99.99% availability - resilience, failover and degradation scenarios are part of testing, not an afterthought.\n\nMake technical decisions on QA tooling, automation and test architecture.\n\nLead by example and mentor engineers on testing and automation practices.\n\nTo be #closer, you'll need:\nStrong track record in test automation across more than one layer - backend and mobile, or backend and web.\n\nBackend/API testing in the JVM ecosystem: JUnit 5, REST Assured (or Karate), Testcontainers, Spring Boot Test.\n\nContract testing with Pact (or Spring Cloud Contract).\n\nMobile automation covering both iOS and Android - Appium, Maestro, or the native frameworks (XCUITest, Espresso); Kotlin/KMP test tooling is a strong plus.\n\nPerformance and stress testing with k6, Gatling or JMeter.\n\nCI/CD pipeline integration - GitHub Actions preferred, any modern equivalent works.\n\nExperience building automation frameworks or test infrastructure from scratch.\n\nPractical, daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor or similar) in your own work.\n\nCloud-native environment experience - we run on Azure / AKS.\n\nAbility to work independently and own complex QA initiatives.\n\nBeing #closer means you’ll get:\nThe green light for your ideas. Your suggestions will be heard - we value independence, curiosity, and initiative.\n\nA manager who helps you grow. You’ll get clear direction and support while having plenty of freedom to act, learn, and develop.\n\nAn organisation that is changing. Joining Artea means more than just a new name - it means new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities to help shape our culture from within.\n\nAchievements rooted in Lithuania. We’re especially proud to be a Lithuanian bank. We believe our country and our people are unique, and we do everything we can every day to help them realise their potential.\n\nA personal benefits package. Health insurance, a pension savings programme, additional days off, flexible working hours, modern infrastructure - and that’s far from the complete list of benefits!\n\nCompetitive compensation. Your salary will depend on your experience and competencies, so we’re providing an indicative range of EUR 5,000 - 7,500 gross per month.\n\nPerformance bonuses. Our employees can earn bonuses based on the performance of the bank, their team, and their own individual performance.\n\nWhat else is important?\nWant to experience what it means to work at Artea Banking Group?
