YOUR CREATIVE FIELD
We are looking for a full-time
, permanent (Senior) QA Engineer to start as soon as possible
. We live remote-first, but you have the freedom to choose whether you want to work hybrid or completely on-site due to your proximity to one of our locations.

As a (Senior) QA Engineer at Contabo Group, you will be instrumental in driving product quality and delivering excellence across our offerings.

In your first phase, you will actively support our team ’ll get hands‑on quickly. Soon you’ll test features, improve test coverage, help stabilize releases and support the team wherever quality expertise is needed most. This is about rolling up your sleeves, understanding the product in detail and becoming a reliable sparring partner for developers and Product Owners.

At the same time, you’ll gradually build a deep understanding of our systems, interfaces and internal processes. As you grow into the role, you will start connecting the dots between GPORTAL and Contabo. You’ll identify dependencies, align quality standards and support cross‑team collaboration on a broader level.

From the start, you review product requirements and user stories before development begins, ask the right questions and ensure features are testable and clearly defined. You design and execute functional, regression, exploratory and UAT tests with a strong sense of ownership and business impact.

Automation is an important part of your work. You help build and maintain automated UI, API and integration tests and contribute to improving our continuous testing setup to make releases more stable and predictable.

When issues occur, you look beyond the obvious. You analyze root causes, document defects clearly and reproducibly and work closely with developers to resolve them efficiently. You prioritise based on impact and always keep the bigger picture in mind.

Over time, your role evolves from hands‑on contributor at GPORTAL to a key driver of quality collaboration across teams and brands. In this way you will help to ensure that quality is consistently embedded in everything we build at Contabo Group.

• 2-5 years of experience in Software Testing/QA, ideally in agile environments or in the hosting industry
• Strong hands‑on experience in test automation with Python and JavaScript/Type Script
• Solid experience with modern testing frameworks (e.g. Playwright, Pytest) and a strong understanding of test design, test strategies and QA processes
• Experience in API testing (REST / Graph
  
  QL) and practical experience with exploratory and regression testing
• Confident with Git and common bug‑tracking tools
• Ability to analyse requirements and translate them into structured test cases and test plans
• Familiar with web technologies (HTML/CSS, Browser Dev Tools) and experience supporting UAT and collaborating with stakeholders
• Ability to prioritise multiple testing streams and work independently
• Nice to have: experience with performance or integration testing and further development of QA processes

We know that you may not currently meet all the requirements. But if you come to us with the right amount of commitment and enthusiasm, we can take off together and make a big difference.

At Contabo, we are in a constant state of change. Even through our strong growth, we always remain flexible, and everyone gets the opportunity to actively shape the future of Contabo and of our customers.
