QA Automation Engineer – Madrid | Hybrid

We’re hiring a QA Automation Engineer to join the Investment Risk IT team of a leading general asset management firm in Madrid.

This role offers big-company scale with small-team spirit. You’ll work on business-critical risk platforms used across the firm’s global portfolios, as part of a small, agile team where developers, BAs, product owners and QA collaborate closely every day. It’s a team that values ownership, curiosity and clear communication, and where quality is built in from day one, not added at the end.

What you’ll do

- Design and run manual tests across frontend, API and database layers, focusing on edge cases and business risks
- Build and maintain automated tests in Java with Cucumber and Serenity BDD
- Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) for fast, reliable feedback
- Support performance and load testing (Gatling)
- Report quality status clearly using Allure
- Work closely with developers, BAs and product owners, and propose improvements to QA practices and tooling





What we’re looking for

- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar
- 3+ years in QA, with solid experience in both manual testing and test automation
- Test automation experience in Java (Cucumber, Selenium, RestAssured or similar)
- REST API and web services testing experience
- Hands-on with Git, Jenkins and Gradle or Maven
- Agile/Scrum background
- A pragmatic approach: automating what adds real value
- Fluent English; German is a plus

Nice to have

- Serenity BDD and Gatling
- ISTQB certification

No finance background is required. Curiosity and willingness to learn the investment domain matter just as much.

What’s on offer

- Full-time role in a global, industry-leading company
- €45–52K gross/year
- Hybrid working model (near city centre)
- Flexible benefits package (healthcare, retirement plan and more)
- Small, agile team with real room to grow
