Is there a Zenika in you?
Let’s talk skills and passion first.
You’re a quality advocate who believes that exceptional products are defined not just by features, but by reliability and user experience. You love exploring edge cases, automating where it matters, and influencing engineering teams to build with quality in mind from day one. You’re curious, methodical, and constantly leveling up your craft — and you’re excited to make a real impact.
Your Role as a Zenika Consultant: QA Engineer
You'll be working closely with multidisciplinary teams — developers, product owners, designers, and client stakeholders — to ensure the software delivered is stable, intuitive, and production-ready. You bring a balance of technical expertise, curiosity, and a passion for continuous improvement.
What you will do
Work hands on within cross functional teams to test and validate web portals and browser-based applications used by real users at scale.
Design, develop, and execute automated web test cases for critical user journeys, ensuring reliable regression coverage.
Perform manual exploratory testing on web portals to uncover usability, edge-case, and integration issues.
Translate user stories and requirements into clear test scenarios and acceptance criteria, with a strong focus on web UI behaviour.
Create and maintain test automation scripts using tools such as Katalon, Selenium, or equivalent web automation frameworks.
Identify, report, and track defects with clear reproduction steps, collaborating closely with developers to drive timely fixes.
Execute API and database-level validation to ensure data integrity across web workflows.
Contribute to CI/CD pipelines by running and maintaining automated web tests as part of continuous delivery.
Continuously improve web QA practices, test coverage, and automation reliability.
What you bring
3+ years of hands-on QA experience, with a strong focus on web portal or web application testing.
Proven experience designing and maintaining automated web UI tests using tools such as Katalon, Selenium, or similar.
Solid understanding of HTML, CSS, browser behaviour, and common web defects.
Experience balancing manual and automated testing, with the ability to decide what should be automated.
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum environments and working closely with developers during sprint cycles.
Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into build or deployment flows.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
Good communication and collaboration skills — comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Working knowledge of SQL and database testing to validate web application data.
Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g. AWS or Azure) is a plus.
