QA Engineer (Python)

Lead QA Engineer | Lisbon (2 days onsite) | Up to €430p/day | 6-month contract

I'll cut straight to the chase, I'm working with a global consulting firm on a project for a major international retail group, and they're on the lookout for a Lead QA Engineer to come in on a contract basis.

This one isn't just running test cases. You'll own quality across business-critical commerce platforms, shape how several delivery teams build it in from day one, and stay hands-on while you do it.

What you'll be doing

• Owning the risk-based QA strategy, regression suite and automation roadmap
• Designing and running tests across component, API, integration and end-to-end levels
• Championing Shift-Left and building automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
• Leading a nearshore managed testing team and exploring AI-assisted testing

What they're looking for

• 5+ years in QA/Quality Engineering, coordinating several teams while staying hands-on
• Automation framework experience (Robot Framework or similar) with Python
• CI/CD with Git and GitLab, plus API testing tools like Insomnia
• Experience leading nearshore QA teams in a managed-service model
• A solid grasp of microservices and e-commerce platforms

Tech: Python, Robot Framework, GitLab CI/CD, Insomnia, Zephyr, Datadog, SonarQube, Snyk (AWS, Azure or GCP a bonus)
