As a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer, you'll enhance product quality through comprehensive testing, including creating test cases, automated tests, and regression testing while collaborating closely with other teams to promote continuous improvement.
Snyk is the leader in secure AI software development, helping millions of developers develop fast and stay secure as AI transforms how software is built. Our AI-native Developer Security Platform integrates seamlessly into development and security workflows, making it easy to find, fix, and prevent vulnerabilities — from code and dependencies to containers and cloud.
Our mission is to empower every developer to innovate securely in the AI era — boosting productivity while reducing business risk. We’re not your average security company - we build Snyk on One Team, Care Deeply, Customer Centric, and Forward Thinking.
It’s how we stay driven, supportive, and always one step ahead as AI reshapes our world.
Why this role?
At Snyk, we are dedicated to delivering the best user experience and maintaining high quality across our products. We believe that quality is a shared responsibility, and we are evolving our QA philosophy to integrate testing earlier in the development cycle. Our small, collaborative QA team is looking for a proactive and experienced Quality Assurance Engineer to join us.
This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to our quality process. While we currently spend a considerable amount of time on manual testing practices, we are building a new testing framework to enhance our delivery and quality, ensuring robust end-to-end test coverage for our applications. You'll play a key part in this evolution, helping us boost our quality gate and improve our overall cycle time.
What You’ll Do:
- Working hand-in-hand with Product Managers and Engineers from the initial project conception through to delivery, ensuring quality is considered at every stage.
- Reviewing specifications, requirements, and technical design documents to gain a deep understanding of features under development.
- Estimating, prioritizing, planning, and coordinating comprehensive testing activities.
- Creating detailed, comprehensive, and structured test plans and test cases.
- Designing, developing, and automating tests for our applications and building robust API tests.
- Contributing to the creation and execution of load testing for our applications.
- Identifying and documenting bugs clearly and concisely, and proposing possible solutions to deliver the best user experience.
- Performing thorough regression testing to ensure existing features remain stable.
- Tracking quality assurance metrics and working together with internal teams on all necessary tasks to continuously improve our processes.
- Contributing to the growth and development of our small, dynamic team by sharing best practices and fostering a collaborative environment.
What You Bring:
- Proficiency in core QA principles and practices, including understanding different testing types (functional, regression, integration), test case design, bug reporting, and the overall software development lifecycle.
- A solid background in manual testing.
- Experience with test automation, including hands-on coding skills in JavaScript/TypeScript and tools for automation testing (e.g., Cypress or Playwright), API testing tools (e.g., Postman), and load testing tools (e.g., K6, JMeter).
- Excellent analytical skills and meticulous attention to detail.
- Strong communication and problem-solving abilities, with good written and verbal English communication skills.
- A genuine curiosity and a willingness to navigate new challenges, ask insightful questions, and continuously learn and grow.
It’d Be Awesome If You Also…
- Have experience with performance and/or security testing.
- Demonstrate a proactive and collaborative approach, helping to set a positive tone for quality within the team.
- Have experience working in product-led companies
