QA Engineer (Integrations) – Test Automation
Location:
Munster, Ireland (Remote-first / Hybrid)
Type:
Full-time, Permanent
About the Role
We’re hiring a QA Engineer (Integrations) for our client to help build and assure quality across a distributed, event-driven integration platform connecting external partners, government systems, IoT devices and APIs.
This is a code-first engineering role, not a manual QA position. You will be designing and building test frameworks, automation tooling and CI-integrated quality systems from the ground up.
We are looking for engineers who are comfortable working in complex integration environments where systems are distributed, failures are non-obvious, and reliability depends on end-to-end data flow.
What You’ll Do:
- Build test automation frameworks from scratch(not just extend existing ones)
- Design automated tests for APIs, queues, file-based and event-driven systems
- Own end-to-end integration testing across multi-system message flows
- Validate retry, replay, failure and recovery paths
- Implement contract & schema testing(JSON / XML)
- Build performance and load testing for APIs and messaging systems
- Create test data, mocks and simulation environments
- Embed testing into CI/CD pipelines as a core release gate
- Use AI tools daily to accelerate test design, debugging and coverage
Experience:
- 5–6+ years in QA / test automation roles (with strong coding focus)
- 3+ years building automation in practice (not just executing test cases)
- Strong programming ability (Java, Python, TypeScript, C#, etc.)
- Experience with integration-heavy systems:
- REST / SOAP APIs
- Message queues / event-driven systems
- File-based integrations (e.g. SFTP)
- Experience building test frameworks from scratch
- CI/CD experience (pipelines as part of delivery)
- Performance/load testing experience
- Strong debugging and systems thinking
Nice to Have:
- Experience with MuleSoft, Boomi, Apache Camel or similar integration platforms
- Observability / distributed tracing experience
This is a chance to own quality engineering for complex distributed systems, where you’ll be building the testing infrastructure itself, not just writing tests.
If you like solving problems at the system and integration layer, this is an exciting opportunity for you.
On Offer:
- Competitive Salary DOE
- Benefits Package
- Remote First Company 1 day a week on site
