Role overview
Kodify is an award-winning digital entertainment company with 15+ years of experience producing video content and managing high-traffic websites. They are seeking a Software Developer in Test to join their fully remote QA team (EU-based candidates only).

- Integrate and maintain automation within CI/CD pipelines
- Analyse test results, identify trends and risks, and provide actionable feedback to engineering teams
- Contribute to automation strategy, tooling decisions, and continuous improvement initiatives
- Ensure automation is scalable, maintainable, and efficient, identifying opportunities for optimisation
- Balance long-term automation goals with short-term quality needs when required
- Communicate clearly and constructively during code reviews and technical discussions
- Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)
- Stay up to date with modern testing techniques, tools, and engineering best practices

- Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)
- Working knowledge of microservices architectures and how they impact testing strategies
- Working knowledge of cloud-based and containerised environments (e.g. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), sufficient to test, debug, and collaborate effectively with engineering teams
- Working knowledge of edge or traffic-layer platforms such as Cloudflare, including how caching, routing, security rules, or rate limiting can impact testing and automation
- Strong understanding of Git-based workflows
- Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team
- Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset
- A strong sense of ownership and responsibility for quality
Nice to have
