At Nuvolar, we build tailor‑made solutions for highly regulated and complex sectors, combining modern technology with a people-first mindset. With 100+ team members and over 14 years of experience, we foster a collaborative culture that encourages professional growth and personal well-being.

Join us as a QA Automation Engineer to work on a real laboratory testing environment, contributing both to manual and automated testing for a complete and interconnected ecosystem of products in the pharmaceutical industry.

About the Role

We are looking for a well-rounded QA Automation Engineer who can design and execute manual functional tests as well as create and maintain automated test cases within an existing framework.

You will extend and maintain the test automation suite while handling day-to-day QA activities such as regression, integration, smoke testing, and bug verification. This role is ideal for someone with strong test design skills, attention to detail, and solid QA execution experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and maintain manual test cases with clear coverage and traceability to requirements.
• Execute day-to-day QA activities: regression, integration, smoke testing, and bug verification.
• Maintain and add automated test cases within existing automation frameworks (extend/refactor/maintain).
• Report defects and collaborate with developers to ensure quality and fast feedback loops.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of QA processes, test practices, and documentation.
• Work closely with Automation/Infra engineers to ensure frameworks are leveraged effectively by the team.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years of QA experience.
• Strong test design skills: clear, structured test cases, coverage thinking, and requirement traceability.
• Solid experience with JIRA/Xray (or similar test management tools).
• Experience maintaining and extending automated tests within an existing framework (automation support, not framework design).
• Experience with web and API testing.
• Strong communication skills in English and experience working in Agile environments.

What to expect from us?

• Flexible Work & Work-Life Balance: enjoy options to balance work and personal life, including every other Friday off.
• Hybrid Work Mode: for this specific project, onsite presence is required 2 days per week. While the days are not strictly fixed, they are usually Tuesday and Thursday. The rest of the week can be remote.
• Seniority Program: additional benefits and privileges as you grow with the company.
• Social & Team Budget:  even though we primarily work remotely, we encourage team gatherings and activities, with a dedicated budget.
• Continuous Learning: training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
• Growth Opportunities: participate in challenging projects with modern frameworks and influence QA strategy.
