Your creative fieldWe are looking for a full-time, permanent Senior QA Engineer (all genders) to start as soon as possible. We live remote-first within Germany, 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.
Contabo serves 180,000+ customers worldwide across VPS, dedicated servers, object storage and a growing cloud-native platform. Quality isn't a bottleneck function here – it's embedded in how we build.
You'll work across multiple development teams on products that vary significantly in architecture, maturity and risk profile. The scope is wide and the technical surface is real.
QA here means jumping between contexts and figuring things out, not just executing scripts against a stable codebase.
You come in before development starts: read the requirements, flag what's untestable and push back early.
You own the test strategy and update it as things change – not as a document exercise, but because the products actually change.
You write test plans and test cases, run manual tests (functional, regression, exploratory, UAT) and build and maintain automated tests across UI, API and integration.
We use AI tools actively: in development, in testing, in how we work day to day and we expect the same from you. That's not a trend we're chasing: it's how we stay fast without cutting corners on quality.
You keep the continuous testing pipelines running and help the teams use them. When bugs come up, you write bug reports that developers can actually work with – reproduction steps, impact, everything needed to close it without a follow-up ping.
Regular regression cycles after major releases are part of the job, as is running UAT with product stakeholders.
What convinces usYour personality, paired with:
5+ years in software testing/QA, ideally in agile teams
Test automation in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript; hands-on with frameworks like Playwright, Frisby, or Supertest
Experience using AI-assisted tools in development or testing (AI code generators, LLM-based test support or similar) and comfortable using Claude (or comparable LLMs) as part of your daily workflow
Solid grasp of test design, QA processes, and translating requirements into test plans and test cases
API testing (REST), Git, bug tracking, browser DevTools – these are daily tools for you
Comfortable prioritizing across multiple test streams simultaneously
Fluent English skills and German language skills would be a plus
Experience with AI-assisted tools in testing or development
UAT facilitation, QA process ownership, performance/integration testing
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.
Awesome ProspectsAt Contabo, we are constantly evolving. Our growth creates space for new ideas, ownership, and real impact for people who want to make a difference.
What defines us is trust, direct communication, and an open feedback culture. We believe the best solutions are built together and that everyone has the opportunity to contribute, grow, and leave their own footprint.
Additionally, we offer:
Work the way that fits your life – Remote or hybrid with flexible hours for a healthy work-life balance and the same technical equipment at home as in the office
Experience real freedom – Workation across the EU and in our summer office in Mallorca
Stay active and healthy – Access to EGYM Wellpass and thousands of fitness and wellness facilities
Enjoy exclusive perks – Attractive discounts on many products and services through our corporate benefits program
Recharge your energy – 30 days of vacation plus additional days off on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve
Give back – An extra day off to get involved in social activities through our Volunteer Day
Make an impact – Take ownership and bring your ideas to life with real creative freedom
Keep growing – Individual professional and personal development opportunities in an innovative tech environment
Feel comfortable where you work – Modern, conveniently located offices across our European locations
Be part of a diverse team – Work in an international environment shaped by diversity
Create lasting memories – Company events and team activities you won’t forget
