Your Opportunity at Leapsome

Join a highly collaborative and product-focused engineering team that’s redefining how quality assurance integrates with software development. QA is not a separate silo – it’s an integral part of the engineering process. As a Senior Test Automation Engineer/Software Development Engineer in Test, you will work closely with developers, product managers, customer success and designers to ensure every feature delivers exceptional quality and user satisfaction.


This role combines hands‑on testing, automation, and innovative problem‑solving. You’ll drive automation efforts with tools like Playwright, screen and refine incoming tasks, and support scheduled release processes with manual testing where needed. Beyond this, you’ll play a key role in holding the engineering team to our quality standards, championing best practices, and exploring innovative approaches, such as leveraging AI in testing.


You Will

  • Drive the design and implementation of automation frameworks using tools like Playwright, ensuring scalable, reliable, and maintainable test coverage.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers during the development lifecycle to identify edge cases and potential pitfalls early.
  • Screen and refine incoming tasks, ensuring clear requirements and testability before development begins.
  • Conduct exploratory testing for complex workflows and manual testing during scheduled release cycles to ensure seamless launches.
  • Challenge engineers to uphold high-quality standards in code, functionality, and user experience, contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.
  • Experiment with AI-driven testing approaches, identifying opportunities to enhance the speed and depth of QA processes.
  • Monitor production systems and implement automated checks to maintain platform reliability and detect regressions proactively.
  • Contribute to cross-functional projects, offering insights into testing strategies for smarter platform initiatives or AI-powered features.
  • Document QA strategies and findings, fostering a learning environment and helping scale QA knowledge across the team.

  • AI/LLMs: LangGraph, multi-agent architectures, RAG-based knowledge retrieval, and evaluation workflows using Evals.

You’ll Be a Good Fit If You
