Senior QA Automation Engineer | Budapest

Hello, let’s meet!

Who We Are 

While Xebia is a global tech company, our journey in CEE started with two Polish companies – PGS Software, known for world-class cloud and software solutions, and GetInData, a pioneer in Big Data. Today, we’re a team of 1,000+ experts delivering top-notch work across cloud, data, and software. And we’re just getting started. 

What We Do 

We work on projects that matter – and that make a difference. From fintech and e-commerce to aviation, logistics, media, and fashion, we help our clients build scalable platforms, data-driven solutions, and next-gen apps using ML, LLMs, and Generative AI. Our clients include Spotify, Disney, ING, UPS, Tesco, Truecaller, AllSaints, Volotea, Schmitz Cargobull, and Allegro or InPost. 

We value smart tech, real ownership, and continuous growth. We use modern, open-source stacks, and we’re proud to be trusted partners of Databricks, dbt, Snowflake, Azure, GCP, and AWS. Fun fact: we were the first AWS Premier Partner in Poland! 

Beyond Projects 

What makes Xebia special? Our community. We run events like the Data&AI Warsaw Summit, organize meetups (Software Talks, Data Tech Talks), and have a culture that actively support your growth via Guilds, Labs, and personal development budgets — for both tech and soft skills. It’s not just a job. It’s a place to grow. 

What sets us apart?  

Our mindset. Our vibe. Our people. And while that’s hard to capture in text – come visit us and see for yourself. 

About Project

We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation Engineer to join a dynamic, product-driven team working with complex software and embedded systems. This role combines test automation, CI/CD infrastructure, and hands-on collaboration with a small but critical hardware lab environment. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys building scalable automation solutions while working close to real devices, firmware, and system-level testing.

You will be:

• designing, implementing, and maintaining automated test suites for backend, embedded, and/or UI components,

• developing and enhancing test frameworks, tools, and automation infrastructure,

• integrating automated tests with CI/CD pipelines and improving overall test flow efficiency,

• working with hardware test setups, including device connections, firmware flashing, and lab equipment configuration,

• diagnosing, reproducing, and debugging issues discovered through automated and lab-based testing,

• collaborating closely with software developers, QA, and cross-functional engineering teams,

• contributing to improved test coverage, reliability, and turnaround times,

• creating and maintaining clear technical documentation for test environments, setups, and workflows,

• performing manual edge-case testing where automation is not yet applicable.

Your profile:

• strong programming skills in at least one language commonly used in test automation (e.g., Python, Java, C#, or similar),

• proven experience creating or maintaining automated test suites,

• hands-on experience working with CI/CD pipelines,

• solid understanding of software testing methodologies and best practices,

• comfort working with hardware-based test environments,

• experience with version control systems (e.g., Git),

• familiarity with issue-tracking tools (e.g., JIRA),

• strong communication skills and a structured, pragmatic approach to problem solving,

• ability to work effectively across multiple teams and manage competing priorities,

• minimum B2 level English proficiency.

Nice to have:

• experience with containerization or virtualization technologies,

• background in reliability engineering, validation engineering, or systems engineering,

• experience working with embedded systems or firmware testing,

• exposure to test infrastructure design or automation strategy.
