Do you want to be part of a supportive and innovative team and take on a technical role where you can make a difference? Are you an enthusiastic team player with initiative? Then you've come to the right place.

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer to play a critical role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our software products by leading testing efforts, design robust test strategies, and mentor less senior QA team members. This is a hands-on technical role, you'll need to be equally comfortable testing on mobile, web, and desktop, and you'll own both the design of our test automation framework and the GitLab pipelines that run it.

Responsibilities

• Assess risk across the product, prioritize test effort accordingly, and plan and execute manual and automated testing across mobile, desktop and web - combining risk-based focus with structured exploratory sessions.
• Review requirements and designs with development, product and UX for testability before development starts.
• Design and evolve the test automation framework: make the architectural calls on structure, patterns, and coverage as the product grows.
• Own the test stages of our GitLab CI/CD pipelines: build and maintain them, keep automated suites fast and reliable, and triage flaky tests.
• Own release readiness (go/no-go) and the defect lifecycle from triage to verified fix, contributing to merge request reviews and turning quality metrics into clear, actionable insight for stakeholders.
• Help define and evolve the test strategy, automation roadmap and quality standards, driving their adoption across engineering.
• Mentor less senior QA members and collaborate with the wider QA team on methodologies and tools, championing continuous improvement across the practice.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance.
• A well-rounded technical profile: hands-on testing experience across mobile, web and desktop applications, not just one or two of the three.
• Hands-on experience designing test automation frameworks and building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI experience a strong plus).
• Proficiency in a programming language such as Java, Python or JavaScript, and practical experience with frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Appium or Maestro.
• A track record of raising quality practices in a team through mentoring, tooling, or process, paired with a calm, assertive style and good judgment on when to push back and when to listen.

Benefits

DSwiss takes its values seriously in practice, not just on a slide deck. Transparency, ownership, empowerment, curiosity, andcare shape how the team works and how decisions get made. You'll have:

• Hybrid Work Model: Enjoy the flexibility of remote work while staying connected with at least 40% of your time spent in our vibrant Lisbon office.
• 25 Days of Vacation: Recharge and thrive with above-market holiday time, reflecting our people-first approach to work-life balance.
• Bi-Annual International Retreats: Collaborate, relax, and explore at company offsites in beautiful locations like Switzerland, Italy, and beyond.
• Empowered to Make an Impact: Every voice matters-you're encouraged to drive improvements, contribute ideas, and create real value from day one.
• Learn from the Best: Grow your skills in a high-performing, international team of experienced and talented professionals.
• Delicious Perks: Enjoy free lunches, snacks, and drinks daily-because fuel matters.
• Salary Range: 40.000€ to 50.000€ per year, based on experience and qualifications
• Meal allowance, health insurance coverage, and public transportation allowance.
• Work for a company committed to sustainability-our data centers operate climate-neutral.
