How will you shape our tomorrow?
We are looking for a
Quality Engineer (QE)
to strengthen Quality Engineering practices across the Spark ecosystem. This role applies to both
AX (Associate Experience)
and
CX (Customer Experience)

During the recruitment process, candidates may be assigned to AX or CX based on interview feedback, team needs, and skill profile.
Regardless of the final assignment, the expectations, ways of working, and quality principles are shared across both contexts.
As a Quality Engineer, you will be part of a
delivery team , contributing to both
product quality
and
quality system maturity . You will ensure that automation, risk-based testing, and early quality involvement are core drivers of delivery confidence.

Drive
risk-based testing

Test strategy & execution

test strategies

Design and execute
functional, end-to-end (E2E), API, and exploratory tests,
depending on the context
Contribute to non-functional testing activities (performance, reliability, accessibility) when relevant
Automation & CI/CD

The experience you bring
Core QE skills (required)
Experience in
Quality Assurance / Quality Engineering
in agile environments
Strong understanding of
Agile & DevOps principles
Experience designing and executing
automated tests
at multiple levels
Familiarity with
CI/CD pipelines
and quality gates
Ability to analyze failures, identify root causes, and provide actionable feedback
Technical skills
Programming/scripting experience (preferred:
JavaScript / TypeScript )
Experience with modern
test automation frameworks

API testing experience
Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g. Jira, Xray)
Collaboration & mindset
Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills
Ability to work in
cross-functional, international teams
Quality-first mindset with a focus on prevention over detection
Comfortably make challenging decisions constructively when quality or risk is at stake
Seniority & growth expectations
We are open to candidates with different levels of seniority.
While the role expectations remain consistent, the level of mastery, autonomy, and scope of impact depends on seniority. Seniority is assessed based on engineering maturity, ownership, and impact, not on years of experience alone.
About skill mastery
For this role, we value mindset and progression over ticking every checkbox:
Some skills may be applied
with guidance
Others with
full autonomy
And for senior profiles, with the ability to
influence practices beyond the team
Interviewers assess the
level of mastery and learning capacity , rather than expecting full expertise across all areas from day one.
Example of proficiency expectations (indicative)
Confirmed QE : applies core QE practices with support, contributes to test automation and quality activities within the team
Senior QE : operates autonomously, drives test strategy and automation quality, influences team practices, and mentors others
This framing is illustrative and not prescriptive, and does not limit growth within the role.
AX & CX context awareness
While the role is generic, QEs may be assigned to:
AX (Associate Experience)
delivery area: it covers the internal users and associates' experience when operating the business through digital tools.
That includes:
Internal workflows and operational tools
Business processes used by sales, customer care, marketing, operations, etc.
Back-office and administrative systems
CX (Customer Experience)
delivery area: it covers the end-customers' experience when interacting with our digital products.
That includes:
Customer-facing journeys (browse, search, order, track, support)
Public or authenticated touchpoints (web, mobile, APIs consumed by customers or partners)
Reliability, performance, usability, accessibility, and trust from a customer perspective
The assignment is decided
during the interview process , based on:
Technical and functional strengths
Experience and learning potential
Team balance and delivery priorities
Quality principles, expectations, and engineering standards remain aligned across AX and CX.
What success looks like
Quality risks are identified early and addressed proactively
Automated tests provide reliable, fast feedback and support confident releases
Teams progressively rely less on manual validation
Quality becomes a shared responsibility across roles
Continuous improvement is visible in quality metrics and delivery outcomes
