QA / Automation Engineer

Cape TownHybridFull-timeQuality · 3R 38k–55k / mo

Be the reason our releases are accurate, fast, and auditable — build the automation and evaluation harnesses the whole team trusts.

About the role

We ship platforms people depend on — so quality isn't an afterthought, it's a discipline. As QA / Automation Engineer you'll build the automated test suites and evaluation harnesses that keep every release correct, fast, and auditable across our products.

You'll help embed an eval-first culture where the team sees how systems perform — and why.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain automated test suites across web and APIs.
  • Build evaluation harnesses and dashboards for release quality.
  • Own quality gates in CI and the release process.
  • Partner with engineers to make the products more testable.
  • Track, surface, and act on quality metrics.

What you'll bring

  • 3+ years in QA or test automation.
  • Strong with a modern test framework (Playwright, Cypress, or similar).
  • Confident API testing and CI integration.
  • A sharp eye for edge cases and a knack for reproducing bugs.
  • Clear communication and a quality-obsessed mindset.
Nice to have
  • Performance and load testing.
  • Healthcare or other regulated/audited domains.
  • Some development background (JS/TS).
