Western Cape: Senior Quality Assurance Engineer posted by Salix Recruitment

Posted on 2025-05-12 00:00:00

Job Summary

Are you the kind of QA Engineer who doesn’t just find bugs – you hunt them like a detective on a mission? We’re looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to join our Cape Town team (or work remotely if you’ve got the skills to back it up). This isn’t your average QA role – you’ll lead the design of smart, scalable automation frameworks, embed quality deep into every sprint, and drive improvements that actually move the needle.
 
You’ll work hands-on with tools like Playwright, C#, JavaScript, and BDD frameworks – building automation that developers trust, and users never notice because everything just works. You’ll mentor up-and-coming QA talent, own quality metrics, and collaborate closely with DevOps and engineering to solve complex problems at speed and scale.
 
If you’re obsessed with quality, allergic to flaky tests, and ready to shape how world-class systems are built – this is your next big move.
 
Reach out to: *****@*****.co.za

  • Lead definition of test scenarios using ATDD/BDD to ensure full test coverage.

  • Champion user-focused testing approaches and improvements.
  • Design, maintain, and scale automation testing frameworks.
  • Define innovative automation strategies and tools for maximum efficiency.
  • Identify tooling gaps and develop or recommend solutions.
  • Report on quality metrics with actionable recommendations.
  • Set and enforce QA governance standards across teams.
