Summary
Join an engineering team as an automation-focused QA professional responsible for quality across component, integration, and user-interface layers. You will design and execute automated tests, define test strategies, identify automation opportunities, collaborate with developers on testability, investigate complex defects, validate data with SQL, and debug across multiple environments. The role requires at least four years of QA experience, strong Python-based test automation skills, and advanced English and Spanish proficiency.
Highlights
Long-term full-time project with strong engineering collaboration and direct ownership of quality across a complex, interconnected software platform.
Description
QA Automation Engineer (SDET) - Fintech / Spend Management 🧪
At Shakers, we're partnering with a global, award-winning company in the corporate spend and expense management space to bring on a QA Automation Engineer.
Fully remote role, embedded with the engineering squads that build their interconnected set of platform solutions.
The challenge
The product is a broad, interconnected system, and quality has to hold across every moving part.
You'll own test coverage at the component, integration, and UI level: designing test plans, choosing the right methodology per component, and turning manual effort into automation the whole team can rely on.
Day-to-day, you'll pair with developers to design systems for testability, triage and analyze results, and debug across production, test and development environments inside an agile, DevOps-driven setup.
What matters here is depth of evidence and a real automation-first mindset, not just running scripts.
