QA Automation Engineer (SDET)

Location: Spain (Remote) Team: Engineering

Welcome to Maisa – Making AI Accountable!

Maisa is building the next generation of Agentic Process Automation, helping enterprises automate complex, decision-heavy workflows that traditional automation can’t handle and GenAI alone can’t be trusted with. Our platform combines AI-driven reasoning with deterministic execution, enabling reliable, auditable, and enterprise-ready AI systems.

About the role… 

We’re seeking a QA Engineer (SDET) to help us scale quality across Maisa Studio, our flagship Agentic Process Automation platform, by embedding automated testing and strong quality practices into our development lifecycle. This is an individual contributor and hands-on role where you’ll work closely with engineers to ensure our systems are robust, reliable, and production-ready as the platform continues to evolve.

You’ll focus on test automation, API and integration testing, CI/CD integration, and test strategy, helping Maisa ship fast while maintaining the high quality required for enterprise-grade, regulated environments.

What you’ll do… 

Test Automation & Engineering:

• Design, implement, and maintain automated tests using frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar

• Build and maintain API and integration tests for REST and GraphQL services

• Write and maintain test code using JavaScript, Python, Go, or similar languages

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions) to provide fast and reliable feedback

• Collaborate with engineers to ensure testability across services and components

Test Strategy & Quality Mindset

• Contribute to and evolve test strategies aligned with system risk and product complexity

• Make informed decisions on what to automate vs. what to test manually

• Apply a strong understanding of the testing pyramid, identifying coverage gaps and risk areas

• Advocate for quality early in the development process

Stability, Scale & Feedback Loops

• Reduce test flakiness and improve reliability of automated test suites

• Improve feedback loops so issues are detected as early as possible

• Implement test parallelization and optimize pipelines for speed and stability

• Continuously improve test execution performance as the system scales

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with engineering and product teams in an agile environment

• Provide clear, actionable feedback on defects, risks, and improvements

• Help build a culture where quality is shared ownership, not a final gate

What you’ll bring… 

• Hands-on experience as a QA Engineer / SDET, with a strong focus on automation

• Experience with automated testing frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar

• Solid experience with API and integration testing (REST / GraphQL)

• Strong programming skills in JavaScript, Python, Go, or similar

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred)

• Strong understanding of test strategy, the testing pyramid, and quality best practices

• Proven ability to balance automation with effective manual testing

• Experience improving test stability, reducing flakiness, and optimizing pipelines
