As our Principal QA Engineer & QA CoE Lead, you will be the heartbeat of our Quality Center of Excellence. You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and hands-on execution, mentoring our senior engineers and steering our transition toward Agentic QA. If you are a pragmatic quality advocate who believes that "Quality" is a shared responsibility, not a final bottleneck, we want to talk to you.

What you will do:

Your mission is to ensure that excellence is baked into every line of code we ship. You will:

• Lead the Vision: Evolve our organization-wide quality engineering roadmap. You’ll define the standards and governance frameworks that ensure our 600+ person organization scales without breaking.
• Architect for Scale: Design and maintain scalable automation frameworks (Cypress, Playwright) and integrate them seamlessly into our CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Drive Innovation: Lead the charge into Agentic AI. You’ll explore and implement AI-driven test generation, self-healing tests, and intelligent defect analysis to move us toward a future of autonomous testing.
• Mentor & Multiply: Act as the lead for our QA Center of Excellence. You’ll coach Senior QA Engineers and Engineering teams, building a community of practice where knowledge sharing is the norm.
• Own the Lifecycle: Partner with Product Managers and DevOps to identify risks early (Shift-Left) and monitor key metrics like defect leakage and automation reliability to ensure our SaaS platform stays world-class.

What you have:

You are a technical authority with a "systems-thinking" mindset. You bring:

• Experience: 10+ years in Software Testing/Quality Engineering, with at least 5 years focused heavily on building automation architecture for large-scale SaaS platforms.
• The Tech Stack: Deep expertise in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, or Java. You are a pro with UI and API testing tools (Playwright, Pact, Postman) and performance testing (k6, JMeter).
• Leadership DNA: You have a proven track record of mentoring senior-level talent and influencing stakeholders across Architecture, Security, and Product.
• AI Curiosity: You aren’t just following the AI hype; you have a practical interest in how LLMs and agentic workflows can optimize test data generation and execution.
• The "Bynder" Mindset: You are pragmatic. You know when to automate, when to test manually, and how to stay calm while troubleshooting complex cloud-native environments.

What Success looks like:

• In 6 Months: You’ve established the QA CoE, defined our core automation standards, and gained the trust of our engineering squads.
• In 12-18 Months: Our automation coverage has peaked, senior QAs are operating autonomously under your framework, and "Agentic AI" is a functional part of our CI/CD pipeline, not just a goal.

What we offer:

• Challenging and inspiring work environment.
• Flat hierarchy where your voice will be truly heard.
• Unlimited vacation policy.
• Competitive monthly compensation.
• Apple gear.
• A fully equipped kitchen with daily lunches.
• Hybrid working environment: we have a great office in the city centre of Barcelona.

Our Commitment:
Bynder Love is the principle that guides the way we grow our teams, support our employees, and celebrate our differences. At Bynder we strive to create a culture that embraces every Byndie because differences in background, experience, and perspective makes Bynder even better. At Bynder a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all employees, whatever their ethnicity, color, sex, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or physical and mental ability are valued and respected. Our commitment is for all Byndies to have the freedom to be their true authentic selves.
Just as we are never finished innovating, Bynder’s dedication to being An Even Better Bynder is a constant, evolving commitment that includes education, listening, and action.
