Quality Engineer

What you’ll do

Software delivery is accelerating fast, and AI is at the heart of it. That brings exciting opportunities, but also new complexity: more code shipped means more to validate, more to govern, and more to get right. We're looking for a Quality Engineer who thrives in that environment.

Someone who can shape a quality strategy that keeps pace with change, and who knows how to leverage AI as a tool without losing sight of the hard questions it raises. At In The Pocket, this role is less about running tests and more about owning quality as a discipline: setting the strategy, earning buy-in, coaching people, and making sure the right guardrails are in place, even as the tools and the pace of delivery keep evolving.

Quality Strategy & Governance

• Design and own a scalable quality strategy for accelerated software delivery.
• Monitor quality health using meaningful metrics and govern compliant release management processes.
• Identify and fix structural quality issues through process changes, tooling, or coaching.

AI-Augmented Quality Engineering

• Actively explore and evaluate AI support for quality work, including generating test cases and deploying autonomous agents.
• Address the challenge of validating AI test agents themselves and ensuring their reliability.
• Stay close to AI tooling developments and apply a critical, evidence based perspective on what to adopt.

Quality Assurance

• Challenge designs, user stories, and acceptance criteria early and often from a quality perspective.
• Design, develop, and execute test cases, scripts, plans, and procedures.
• Facilitate automated UI testing and guide teams on unit, integration, and system testing.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Communicate quality status, risks, and strategy clearly to all stakeholders.
• Build alignment on quality standards across all disciplines: developers, designers, product managers, and leadership.
• Influence, coach, and guide teams toward better practices to ensure quality is everyone's responsibility.

Who you are

• Proven experience in software quality engineering or a related field.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills: you can identify root causes, weigh trade-offs, and make well-reasoned decisions under uncertainty.
• You have a track record of shaping quality processes, not just following them.
• You’re an excellent communicator that knows how to explain complex concepts to different audiences.
• You understand the importance of alignment to achieve progress, and you know how to establish that.
• Genuine curiosity about AI's role in software engineering: you follow what's changing, you experiment, and you form your own grounded view.
• Assertive and flexible: you hold the line on what matters, and you know when to be pragmatic.
• Basic programming knowledge; enough to collaborate meaningfully with engineers and evaluate technical quality decisions.

What we offer

• You’ll start with a permanent contract in a role that comes with responsibility and the opportunity to make a real impact from day one.
• We offer a competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring.
• Our benefits package has you covered with medical insurance, meal vouchers, and more.
• You’ll have a mobility budget that lets you decide how to get around, your way.
• Life at In The Pocket isn’t just about work, we host team events throughout the year to celebrate, connect, and have fun together.
• Learning never stops here, so after six months, you’ll receive a dedicated learning and development budget to keep growing your skills and exploring new horizons.
