Our Technology Team: 

Our Technology team enjoy a challenge. They’re hungry to learn, and don’t hesitate to ask what, why, and how. They get to work with our unique, in-house database engine to create high-quality scalable code (just imagine, thousands of stores, millions of products, and billions of rows of raw data!)

• Impact from day one: You’ll be setting the foundations for end-to-end test automation in a brand-new team, working on distributed systems used by global retailers.
• Growth & challenge: This role offers complex problems (think tokens, authentication flows, large-scale data pipelines) and a chance to break things before our customers do.
• Collaboration & autonomy: You’ll work closely with developers, QA peers, and product owners in an agile setup, while owning your backlog and test strategy.
• Flexibility that fits your life: Hybrid or remote working, strong wellbeing benefits, and support for work-life balance in both Finland and Portugal.

• Design, build, and maintain automated test scripts with clear, maintainable reporting.

• Embed automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for fast, continuous feedback.
• Define acceptance criteria and contribute to backlog refinement together with developers and product owners.
• Carry out exploratory testing to spot hidden issues before customers do.
• Own and track bugs, ensuring issues are resolved and learnings shared.
• Actively participate in our shared services virtual testing team to align tools, best practices, and resources across departments.
• Stay up to date with emerging tools and methodologies to keep RELEX testing ahead of the curve. 

We’re looking for:

• Strong experience in test automation.
• Hands-on expertise with frameworks like Robot Framework, Cypress, Playwright, or Puppeteer.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Skilled in exploratory testing with a “break-things” mindset.
• Basic understanding of authentication and authorization protocols (e.g. OAuth 2, tokens).
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and communication in English.
• Ability to work independently as well as in agile teams. 

What we see as an advantage:

• Experience with cloud and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Background in Identity and Access Management (IAM) testing.
• Experience testing user interfaces.
• Knowledge of performance/load testing.
• Familiarity with agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe).
