Are you passionate about building high-quality, automated testing solutions that drive world-class digital experiences? Join a leading financial services organisation in Galway and help shape the future of their Institutional and Retirement platforms - where innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence meet. As a Senior Software Engineer in Test, you'll work at the intersection of backend, cloud, and front-end systems, helping teams deliver faster, safer, and smarter. You'll be hands-on with modern testing frameworks like Cypress and Playwright (TypeScript) and Karate and Selenium (Java). While the organisation is migrating toward a full TypeScript stack, both skill sets are valuable - but if you're stronger in TypeScript, even better!

What You'll Do

• Lead QA automation efforts across multiple systems and services.
• Design, build, and execute functional and regression test suites that keep quality at the forefront.
• Collaborate with engineers, product owners, and analysts to define acceptance criteria and improve release readiness.
• Contribute to development of minor features in UI or Mid-Tier components.
• Champion Agile, CI/CD, and automation-first delivery practices.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in software quality engineering or test automation.
• Experience with frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, Karate, Selenium, Cucumber, RestAssured, or TestNG.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or Java (TypeScript preferred).
• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, Jenkins, AWS, and modern delivery pipelines.
• A collaborative mindset, attention to detail, and passion for clean, efficient automation.
