Senior QA Engineer in Manchester

At Embeddable, you can expect a very fast pace, ambitious goals, unrivalled levels of ownership and (hopefully!) career‑defining work. This is not your regular office job – we’re looking for people who will live this product and give their best every day. We launched in December 2023, received a €6m seed funding round in December 2024, and are so excited to embark on this new stage!

Like Stripe enables developers to add payments to their platform and Unity enables you to build world‑class games, Embeddable is the end‑to‑end developer platform for building seamless, lightning‑fast customer‑facing analytics directly into your product. As a developer, adding a couple of charts to your online platform is easy. Scaling analytics to tens of thousands of end‑users, who all have differing data needs and data questions, is a hard problem. Embeddable gives you the infrastructure and tools to rapidly build out your interactive in‑product analytics in days, not months, and empowers your team to iterate on your analytics at the pace your customers need.

We’re looking for a Senior QA Engineer who thrives on building efficient test systems, can flex between automation and hands‑on testing when needed, and sees QA as a partner in the product development lifecycle. You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to ensure our platform feels bulletproof, even at speed. You’ll be in constant conversation with engineering and product to define and implement our quality insurance strategy. We value clear, thoughtful communication and you’ll bring that into every interaction.

The magic you’ll perform:

• Take ownership of our test automation suite and maintain and improve our existing frameworks (Playwright + Cucumber), ensuring automated tests are tightly integrated into our CI/CD pipelines.
• Balance automation with hands‑on testing; while we aim for smart automation, you’ll also perform manual tests when context calls for it, especially for new features or edge cases.
• Help define what quality means at Embeddable by contributing to our quality strategy and bringing a voice to risk‑based testing, prioritising impact and user experience over theoretical perfection.
• Support production issue resolution and learning. When customer‑impacting issues occur, work with engineering, product, and customer‑facing teams to clarify and assess issues, support validation, and contribute to post‑incident learnings and preventative improvements.
• Support confident releases. Work with engineering and product to ensure releases are well‑tested, observable, and reversible.
• Mentor through influence, not authority.

Skills:

• Hard skills: 8+ years in QA roles, with experience in both automated and manual testing. Hands‑on with Cucumber and Playwright. AI‑savviness, curiosity and enthusiasm – proven optimisation of your workflows through AI. Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, including test integration. Skilled in API testing and risk‑based testing approaches. Comfortable writing SQL queries (PostgreSQL especially).
• Bonus points if you’ve dabbled in: Performance/load testing. Testing in Docker/Kubernetes‑based environments. Basic React.

• Soft skills: A clear communicator who adapts your message for technical and non‑technical audiences. Excellent active listening skills, seeking first to understand. Product‑mindset, not just a technologist. You ask: how will this affect the user? Curious by nature. You chase clarity and love learning. Dependable and self‑directed. You do what you say you’ll do, and then some!

Interview Process:

• Recruiter Screen
• Take‑Home Assignment
• Hiring Manager Interview
• Deep‑Dive Interview
• Executive Interview with Co‑founder

What you’ll get from us:

• Hybrid working model from our Berlin office in Alexanderplatz or remote in Europe – flexibility to support your productivity and wellbeing.
• Opportunity to work with a growing international team – we’re currently a 24‑person team with plans to scale significantly.
• Extremely employee‑favourable stock options.
• Up to 30 days annual holidays plus public holidays.
• €500 home‑office budget.
• €500 learning and development budget.
• Quarterly in‑person team meet‑ups with our entire global team.

If you’re excited about the role, we’d love to hear from you. Compensation Range: €55 K – €85 K
