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
