We employ people who share our core values. We expect our people to be courageous, trustworthy, and conscientious, driven by a desire to do the right thing. We strive for excellence, work collaboratively, and are genuinely excited by our work.

We offer opportunities for our people to develop beyond their role and span a multitude of disciplines. These are open to all, regardless of background and experience level. Working with us means being part of a team that is harnessing technology and creativity to disrupt a traditional industry.

We are not your average workplace.

Ocean Infinity is seeking a QA Engineer to play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our software products. Reporting to the Lead Quality Assurance Engineer, this role sits within a collaborative engineering environment and contributes directly to maintaining high standards across the full software development lifecycle.

You will work closely with software engineers, product teams, and other stakeholders to ensure that quality is embedded throughout development—not bolted on at the end. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who takes ownership of testing, communicates clearly, and continuously looks for ways to improve how quality is delivered.

What will you do:

- Design, create, and execute fit-for-purpose test cases to ensure strong functional and regression test coverage.

- Work closely with developers, product managers, and other QA team members to identify risks early and improve overall software quality.

- Ensure adherence to established QA processes, standards, and best practices across projects.

- Clearly communicate defects, risks, and quality concerns, and work collaboratively to support timely resolution.

- Identify opportunities to improve test coverage, test effectiveness, and product quality.

- Participate across the full product development lifecycle, from requirements review through to end-to-end release testing.

- Contribute to continuous improvement of QA methodologies, tools, and ways of working.

- Share knowledge and support other team members through collaboration and mentoring.

Who you are:

You are a detail-oriented QA professional with a strong sense of ownership and a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset. You are comfortable working in fast-paced, agile environments and can communicate quality concerns clearly and constructively. You care deeply about delivering reliable software and enjoy collaborating closely with engineering teams to achieve that.

Qualifications and skills:

Essential:

- Strong knowledge of software QA methodologies, tools, and processes.

- Experience with manual QA testing across web applications (front-end and back-end REST APIs) and desktop applications.

- Hands-on experience with API testing tools such as Swagger and Postman.

- Proven experience working in agile software development environments.

- Ability to derive effective test cases from complex technical requirements.

- Experience writing clear test cases and producing high-quality test artefacts.

- Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal.

- Critical thinking and a structured, problem-solving approach.

- Experience using version control systems.

- Familiarity with Azure DevOps.

- Experience using Jira and Confluence.

Desirable:

- Experience with test automation or automation frameworks such as Playwright.

- Knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, and/or Python.

- Experience working with WSL, Docker, or Citrix.

- Exposure to AI/ML projects or data-driven systems.

Salary: Up to €40,000 per annum.

Salary: The salary varies for this position as we are recruiting in multiple regional locations and job grades. The salary process is based on skills, abilities, and experience required.

What you can expect:

At Ocean Infinity, we believe in creating equal opportunities for all, celebrating each and everyone’s differences. We are driven by transforming the industry, through our technology, thoughts, behaviours and actions. Being inclusive and respectful to all is fundamental to who we are. It is the right thing to do and enables innovation and creativity to thrive.

There is more work to be done, and we know that we aren’t perfect, but our commitment to these values is unwavering. They are central to our mission and the impact we have on the industry, meaning, we cannot live without them.
