A little bit about us to help ignite your imagination

Our exciting portfolio currently spans four business areas and includes Real Estate (immoscout24.ch, homegate.ch, ImmoStreet.ch, home.ch, Acheter-Louer.ch, Flatfox, Casasoft), Automotive (autoscout24.ch, motoscout24.ch), General Marketplaces (anibis.ch, tutti.ch, Ricardo.ch) and Finance and Insurance (financescout24.ch, Moneyland.ch).

At SMG Serbia, 140+ talents thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, guided by our values: Better Together, Aim High, and Act Responsibly, shaping the future of digital marketplaces.

Job Description

Help us build Switzerland’s most trusted comparison platform for insurance and credit products. At FinanceScout24, we empower people to make confident financial decisions, and high-quality, reliable software is at the heart of this mission. We’re looking for a QA Automation Engineer who combines technical expertise with a passion for product quality and collaboration.

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and developers to fully understand requirements, user value, and edge cases.

  • Participate in planning, grooming, and brainstorming sessions to ensure quality considerations are built in from the start.

  • Define clear acceptance criteria, testing scenarios, and test plans for new features.

  • Own our test automation strategy, tooling, and frameworks and continuously evolve them.

  • Perform manual testing where it provides value, and identify which scenarios should be automated for long-term reliability.

  • Drive testing processes and a quality-first mindset across the team.

  • Work in a data-driven way to improve quality by using monitoring and alerting tools to detect issues early and reduce defects.

  • Design, write, maintain, and improve automated end-to-end test suites.

  • Report defects clearly and provide thorough reproduction details; ensure issues become part of regression coverage.

  • Review developer-written automated tests and support them in improving testability.

  • Document testing processes and ensure transparency for the whole team.

  • Identify opportunities to improve software quality, tooling, and workflows.

  • Coach developers and stakeholders on testing best practices, acceptance criteria, and quality ownership.

  • Support internal and external stakeholders to ensure smooth integration and robust end-to-end quality.

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with modern Web E2E automation tools (Playwright, Cypress, Puppeteer, etc.).

  • Experience with API testing. Ability to read/write unit tests in C#, TypeScript, or JavaScript is a strong plus.

  • Familiarity with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog).

  • Experience with load or stress testing is a plus.

  • Comfortable working with Jira; SQL or data analytics skills are a great bonus.

  • A proactive mindset with the desire to challenge the status quo, take ownership, and continuously improve.

  • Enthusiasm for agile ways of working and collaborating in a diverse, cross-functional team.

  • Excellent communication skills in English (written & spoken). German is a plus.
