Role overview
Kodify is an award-winning company with over 15 years of success producing world-class video content and managing high-traffic websites. They are hiring a Software Developer in Test for their fully remote QA team (EU-based candidates only). The role involves designing, developing, and maintaining automated testing solutions to ensure quality, reliability, and scalability of their platforms.

Responsibilities

- 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
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in QA automation/SDET or a similar role
- Strong programming experience with JavaScript / TypeScript
- Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, TestCafe, WebdriverIO, Jest, Mocha, or similar
- Solid understanding of API testing (REST, GraphQL)
- 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
- Experience using AI or LLM-based tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude) to enhance QA or automation workflows — such as test creation, analysis, refactoring, or productivity improvements
- Familiarity with performance testing tools (e.g. Lighthouse, k6, JMeter)
- Basic knowledge or interest in security testing concepts and common web vulnerabilities
- Experience working with high-traffic or large-scale systems
- Prior experience working in fully remote teams

Additional details
- Where and when: From wherever you want, the position is fully remote in the EU. We're very flexible about when you get your work done, but we do have some core hours where we like to overlap in order to promote collaboration and low-latency communication between team members (10:00 to 15:00 CET). Our daily virtual stand-ups are important for us but other than that, you're free to manage your own time.
- You take a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach to quality and automation
- You stay calm and constructive when priorities evolve or challenges arise
- You're comfortable giving and receiving feedback and focus on improving outcomes, not scoring points
- You believe QA exists to enable teams to ship better software, not to gate or block delivery
- You're curious, adaptable, and motivated to continuously improve both technically and professionally
- You value collaboration, shared ownership, and clear communication
- Optional bonus: If you've read this far, feel free to include the word "octopus" somewhere in your application.
