QA Test Automation Engineer

Application deadline: April 26th. Well start reviewing applications after the deadline closes.

Bitrefill is remote-first. This is full-time. Youll need solid overlap with both European and Latin American time zones.

What is Bitrefill

Bitrefill lets people spend crypto on real stuff: gift cards mobile top-ups subscriptions bill payments. 180 countries. Profitable since launch. Over 12 years in and still building.

The team is about 90 people fully distributed. Youd be joining QA which is small hands-on and in the middle of building out test automation infrastructure. Few meetings. Lots of autonomy.

The job

Our QA team is shifting from manual testing toward automated AI-augmented workflows. The infrastructure is already in place: E2E web testing frameworks a mobile test automation tool an internal MCP orchestration layer and a test management platform integrated via API. The tooling exists. Whats missing is someone dedicated to writing maintaining and scaling the automated test suites that sit on top of it.

Right now test automation competes with QA planning manual execution and tooling development. We need someone who can own regression coverage shrink manual test cycles and free up the rest of the QA team to focus on strategy exploratory testing and pushing our AI-driven QA work forward.

This is a mid-level role but its central to how QA works at Bitrefill going forward. Early months will be heavier on building. That shifts toward maintenance as things stabilize. The role will evolve as the team and tooling mature. That might mean picking up dev work beyond QA depending on where the needs are.

What youll do

• Author and maintain E2E automated tests with Playwright and Maestro.

• Build out regression smoke and sanity suites for critical flows: checkout payments gift card redemption account management

• Integrate automated test execution into CI/CD so tests run on every deployment to staging

• Work with our internal tooling (MCP server) to support API-driven test case management in Qase

• Hunt down and fix flaky tests. Improve stability and execution speed

• Collaborate with developers to understand new features and turn requirements into automated coverage

• Contribute to test planning risk assessments and the ongoing question of what to automate vs. what to test manually or exploratively

• Report on test results coverage gaps and automation health
