Interim QA Specialist

What you'll do

• Join refinement with the product teams and write Gherkin (Given/When/Then) acceptance specs that developers turn into tests
• Test new features on staging, going beyond the acceptance criteria to find edge cases, and file clear, reproducible bug reports in Jira
• Write and review Playwright tests (TypeScript) in the frontend repo, and review developer-written tests in pull requests
• Monitor the daily automated regression run in GitHub Actions, triage failures the same day, and fix flaky tests at the root cause
• Run release-day regression and the OWASP ZAP security scan for each release, and give a clear go / no-go call
• Migrate the remaining legacy tests and decide what is worth automating and what stays manual
• Organise cross-team QA days and coach developers so they own their tests

What we are looking for

• 5+ years in QA on web applications
• At least 2 years writing and maintaining UI test automation in code (Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, ideally TypeScript/JavaScript), not only record-and-play tools
• Strong manual and exploratory testing, with bug reports developers can act on without follow-up questions
• You have defined a test strategy (what to automate, what to test manually, coverage), not only executed test cases
• Experience running automated tests in CI (GitHub Actions or similar)
• You get developers to adopt new habits through pairing, good examples and clear specs, not by policing

Nice to haves

• Experience with complex B2B SaaS
• Playwright specifically, and Gherkin / BDD
• Experience leading a shift-left change or coaching developers to own their tests
• API testing (REST, Postman or similar)
• Basic security testing (e.g. OWASP ZAP)
• Mobile app testing (iOS / Android)

What you’ll get

• Competitive salary based on experience, plus 8% holiday allowance
• A results-based bonus based on company performance (up to a full 13th month's salary)
• 25 vacation days to recharge
• Earn an extra day of PTO for each year at Rentman, from your second anniversary up to five years.
• A 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years to go on an adventure
• Flexible WFH policy & work from anywhere for 4 weeks a year
• Pension plan through BrightPensioen
• An annual training budget to grow your skills
• Access to OpenUp for mental well-being and personal growth
• Your choice of a shiny new Windows, Linux, or Mac
• Stay active with the team: join the Rentman football team, squash and padel, plus a discounted Urban Sports membership
• An OV Business card if you live more than 10km from the office
• An ambitious, inclusive, and diverse international team
• A flexible, energizing workplace with free lunches, office perks (PS5, ping pong, D&D), legendary karaoke nights, and regular team activities
• An amazing office in the heart of Utrecht, in the historic Drift 17
