Senior QA Engineer

About WEDO

WEDO SA is a fast-growing startup based in Fribourg. Our mission is to simplify teamwork in companies. We are developing WEDO, a collaborative platform for preparing meetings, writing live minutes, and tracking tasks between teams.

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer to take full responsibility for the quality of our product. This role is operational, end-to-end, and central to our deployment cycle. You will be responsible for manual testing, automation, and the evolution of our quality strategy — including the pragmatic use of AI to improve coverage and efficiency.

This is not a support role. You are the Quality Owner.

About the Role

You will drive the entire QA process:

• From bug report triage to regression prevention
• From test case design to automated execution
• From the current test suite to tomorrow's quality strategy

We already have:

• Documented test cases
• An automated suite of "smoke tests" based on Playwright

Your mission will be to strengthen, extend, and professionalize this foundation.

Your Profile

• You place paramount importance on product quality and user experience
• You move with ease from manual exploratory testing to automation
• You think in "systems", not just isolated test cases
• You prioritize pragmatism over dogma: good coverage > perfect coverage
• You are autonomous, structured, and capable of defending your convictions (with arguments)

Your Skills

• Solid experience in manual testing of web applications
• Proven experience in test automation, ideally with Playwright or similar tools
• Good understanding of modern web stacks (frontend, backend, APIs)
• Experience in designing and maintaining long-term test suites
• Ability to work closely with developers and challenge the status quo

Bonus Points

• Experience using AI tools to generate, improve, or maintain tests
• Experience defining a QA strategy within a small agile team
• Experience with CI pipelines and running tests in CI/CD

What You'll Do

WEDO is an expanding company that is constantly evolving. You will have the opportunity to work on many varied projects. Here is an overview of your future missions:

• Drive and evolve the end-to-end QA process
• Triage, reproduce, and validate bug reports
• Maintain and extend the Playwright test suite
• Decide what should be automated (or not)
• Reduce flaky tests and improve the clarity of results
• Leverage AI tools to increase coverage and reduce maintenance costs
• Collaborate closely with engineers to prevent regressions, not just detect them
• Continuously raise the quality bar for the product

Technologies Used

• Playwright, Node.js, React, TypeScript, Docker

Benefits

• Flexible working hours and remote work policy
• Giant curved screens and standing desks in our Fribourg offices
• The opportunity to work for a dynamic, fast-growing startup
• Coffee, tea, ping-pong, team outings, and a stimulating work environment
