QA Engineer (Automation)

WHY SPEKTR At spektr, we are on a mission to automate the world’s most complex compliance workflows through AI. Founded by the team behind HelloFlow (acquired by Trulioo), spektr is building the infrastructure and AI agents to run compliance at scale. Compliance, built like product. Financial services has changed enormously. Much of the technology behind compliance hasn’t. Teams still spend hours on manual checks, disconnected systems slow down launches, and entering a new market can mean rebuilding the same processes all over again. We’re changing that. spektr gives regulated businesses one platform for onboarding, monitoring and investigations, with configurable workflows and AI agents that do the legwork. Product, Operations and Compliance can move together, with the control they need to grow. It’s a huge opportunity in an industry that has moved slowly for too long. We’ve built a product we’re proud to put in front of the most demanding customers. Now we’re looking for people who want to help get it into their hands.

• $26M raised, including a $20M Series A led by NEA, with backing from Northzone, Seedcamp and PreSeed Ventures.
• Customers worth getting excited about. We work with businesses including Pleo, Trustly, Nexi and Santander. These are large accounts with complex problems, ambitious teams and plenty of room for us to make a difference.
• Three offices: Copenhagen, London and Iași, with customers across more than 15 countries.

THE OPPORTUNITY We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer to help us build and scale high-quality, reliable products as we grow. You’ll work closely with backend engineers, product managers, and customer-facing teams to build and maintain the automated testing that keeps our platform behaving exactly as intended, especially across complex, AI-driven, API-first systems. If you enjoy writing solid test code, finding the edge cases others miss, and helping teams ship with confidence, you’ll feel at home here. What You Will Be Doing

• Test Automation: Design, build and maintain scalable automated E2E test suites using Playwright, using LLMs to speed up test generation and maintenance.
• Agent Validation: Build and run test cases and evals that validate AI agent behaviour, so our autonomous compliance workflows are accurate, explainable and hallucination-free.
• API & Data Validation: Test RESTful APIs and validate complex data flows, checking data directly in the database so frontend, backend and AI systems stay fully aligned.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines so AI model updates and deployments don’t break existing logic.
• Production Issues: Investigate production issues, reproduce failures and turn them into automated regression tests.
• Quality Practices: Work with engineers and PMs early in development on testability and acceptance criteria, and contribute to our QA processes and standards.

What We Are Looking For

• The Scale-up Mindset: You thrive in fast-moving environments and prefer building systems over following manuals.
• Automation Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks like Playwright.
• API & Database Skills: You’re comfortable navigating backend services, testing RESTful APIs and verifying data integrity with SQL.
• Maintainable Test Code: You don’t just write scripts. You write clean, reusable tests that the rest of the team can build on.
• Communication Skills: You can explain a bug or edge case clearly to both a PM and an engineer.
• Detail Obsession: You have a “sixth sense” for where a system might break and a genuine passion for delivering a polished user experience.
• Curiosity about AI testing: Exposure to testing LLM-based features or eval frameworks is a strong plus.

OUR TECH INTERESTS

• Languages: JavaScript / TypeScript
• Testing: Playwright
• AI/ML: LLM Prompting, LangChain/AutoGPT concepts, Evals frameworks
• Infrastructure: API-driven architectures, SQL databases, CI/CD pipelines

OUR PROCESS

• Intro call with our Talent team (30 minutes)
• Technical Interview (30 minutes)
• Technical Interview (60 minutes)
