The Role

A QA Engineer in the Core Services Problem Space within the Technology Department at Cover Genius is the foremost advocate of a quality culture and the primary driver of robust, scalable QA automation practices. Their primary responsibility is to promote an environment where employees follow quality guidelines, consistently see others taking quality-focused actions, hear others talking about quality, and feel quality all around them.

You will proactively evaluate, pilot, and standardise AI tools, assistants, agent frameworks, and code-generation tools — that improve test depth, speed, and reliability — to strengthen the delivery of our flagship XCore API platform, which powers embedded digital insurance products via API.

As a QA Engineer at Cover Genius, you will develop test frameworks, working closely with engineers to help implement best testing practices and ensure our QA processes are robust and scalable.

• Proven experience in REST API testing (e.g., Postman) with solid understanding of HTTP and client-server architecture;

• Hands-on use of generative-AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, etc.) for requirements analysis, test design, and automation code;

• Strong troubleshooting/problem-solving skills with ability to integrate new AI or testing tools into frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.

What you will have

• Passionate about Quality Assurance and continuous improvement, with a focus on API automation in Python (PyTest);

• Enthusiastic about experimenting with and leveraging AI technologies to boost productivity;

• Excellent attention to detail and ability to handle high-pressure situations;

• Organised, efficient, and adaptable to both independent and collaborative work;
