Description

At Arkadium our purpose is to have fun while creating fun - and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing for 20 years. We’re the creators behind the world’s most-played games. From the Solitaire that came on your Windows machine, to hundreds of other games you’ve come to know and love - you can find our games on http://Arkadium.com , iOS, Android, and lots of other big sites worldwide.

As a proud Evergreen business our values of Fierce Drive, Positive Energy and Living Full Lives are the driving force behind how we run and the choices we make.

We’re privately held (aka stable and reasonable about growth), founder-led (aka passionate about our craft) and we consistently rank as a “Best Place to Work” (aka not your typical games company).

We’ve been recognised by "Happiness Works" in 2023 and 2024 in Portugal, "Crain's Best Places to Work 2022" and "Great Place to Work 2022 and 2023" in New York!

Interested in becoming an Arkadian? We’d love to hear from you!

Overview

Arkadium is looking for a motivated and experienced Senior QA Engineer to join our dynamic QA team. In this role, you will have the chance to work on a variety of exciting projects, with a focus on automation. While our primary tools include Cypress and Playwright, you will have the flexibility to explore and integrate other testing frameworks and tools, depending on the unique needs of each project. This could include established solutions or modern technologies, giving you the freedom to innovate and adapt as necessary.

This position will allow you to contribute to multiple high-impact projects, where you will play a key role in crafting and implementing innovative quality strategies. You will collaborate with diverse teams, combining your automation skills with manual testing to ensure top-tier product quality.

While this role is remote, candidates must be available to work standard hours from 09:00 to 18:00 in the Western European Time (WET) zone - (Portugal time zone), where most of the Engineering and Product teams are based.

For candidates not residing in Portugal, you will be onboarded as a full-time contractor through our international payroll provider.

  • Analyze both manual and automated test results, prepare reports and communicating findings to drive continuous improvements in product quality.
  • Identify, document, and track bugs, collaborating closely with development teams to ensure timely resolutions.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and implement quality strategies tailored to each unique project.
  • Balance manual and automated testing approaches, ensuring the right tools and methods are applied to each project.
  • Contribute to the development of the overall testing framework, helping to explore and integrate new testing tools as project needs evolve.
  • Provide mentorship and support to junior QA team members, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Build and integrate automation tools into the SDLC, optimizing processes across the board.
  • Foster a quality-first mindset within the team, helping shape and implement testing strategies that align with broader project goals.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, OR equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience as a QA Engineer, with strong skills in both manual and automated testing.
  • Strong experience with automated testing tools, such as Cypress, Playwright, Selenium/Appium, Puppeteer, or Robot Framework.
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
  • Proficiency in modern web technologies, including HTTP(S), JSON, XML, and RESTful services.
  • Strong experience in cross-browser and cross-device web testing across multiple screen orientations, including mobile.
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, such as Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or GitHub Actions.
  • Proficiency in English.

 

Nice to Have

  • Experience with backend testing (Swagger, API testing, stress/load testing, etc.).
  • Familiarity with object-oriented programming concepts and at least one programming language (C#, Java, Python, JavaScript).
  • Knowledge of security testing for web applications.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with structured performance and career development check-ins.
  • Meaningful health insurance.
  • Meal allowance.
  • Personal development budget to fuel your passions and desire to learn (Arkadians are taking classes in not only Excel and leadership, but also interior design and even swimming!)
  • Additional budget for conferences you are interested in.
  • Professional Coaching Budget .
  • Time off from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day so we can all enjoy the holidays.
  • Summer Fridays: 4 Fridays off throughout the Summer to have more fun in the sun.
  • A unique culture of transparency, true teamwork and fun.

The above benefits may differ depending on your location/country.
