At esurance, quality isn't a gate at the end of the process, it's woven into everything we build. As a QA Automation Engineer, you'll be embedded in one of our cross-functional product squads, shaping how quality is defined, validated, and continuously improved across a modern microservice architecture. If you care about building scalable test coverage from the ground up, influencing quality strategy, and working in a team that values clarity and ownership, this role was built for you.
This Poland-based role offers remote flexibility in Poland only, and we value in-person collaboration. Our team meets in Poland for at least one week each quarter, so we ask all applicants to be located in Poland. This is not a globally remote role - Poland residency is required. The contract form is Umowa o Pracę (brutto).
