Senior AQA Engineer (Java) – 6-month contract.

Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.

About the Product:

Our client operates a cloud-based platform dedicated to corporate ground transportation management, addressing a multi-billion-dollar market. The solution aggregates multiple transportation providers—such as corporate fleets, ride-hailing services, taxi operators, and limousine networks—into a unified system that helps businesses streamline operations and reduce spend. It serves a significant share of the largest companies worldwide and handles high volumes of transactions and data across diverse geographies. The platform’s core challenges include integrating heterogeneous external services, maintaining reliability under high-load conditions, implementing advanced business logic for scheduling and pooling, and providing accurate cost control and reporting. Strong backend engineering is critical to scaling global coverage, ensuring performance, and delivering a seamless user experience.

About the Role:
You will join a cross-functional engineering team working on the next generation of our billing and core platform — a large-scale, business-critical system serving both riders and drivers. As a Senior Automation QA Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of new functionality as the platform evolves.
You will work alongside backend engineers, product managers, and other QA engineers within an established development team, contributing to a fast-paced implementation and rollout phase. The role requires a hands-on, independent approach to quality, strong automation expertise, and the ability to work effectively within complex distributed systems.
AI-assisted engineering is an integral part of our development workflow. You will actively use modern AI coding tools to increase productivity and accelerate automation work while maintaining high standards of test quality and reliability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement end-to-end automated test cases for mobile applications and microservice APIs using Java
• Maintain and extend a flexible automation framework that integrates with CI/CD pipelines
• Collaborate with product and development teams to define test strategy, acceptance criteria, and quality gates
• Leverage AI coding assistants to accelerate test script generation and code reviews
• Write and optimize SQL queries against relational databases (Postgres, MySQL) to validate backend data
• Integrate automated tests into continuous integration tools (e.g., GitHub Actions or Jenkins)
• Monitor test executions, analyze results, and drive defect investigations to resolution
• Ensure automation coverage keeps pace with rapid feature releases and evolving architecture

Required Competence and Skills:

• 4+ years of automation testing experience in a commercial software development environment
• 3+ years of hands-on experience programming automated tests in Java
• Practical use of AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) in daily workflow
• Proven ability to derive test scenarios and cases from functional specifications
• Strong SQL skills with relational databases such as Postgres and MySQL
• Excellent verbal and written English communication skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience with automated test tools and frameworks such as Playwright, TestNG, or Selenium
• Familiarity with containerization platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift)
• Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or Jenkins
• Bachelor’s degree in software engineering, computer science, or related discipline
