- Analyse issues, help reproduce and prioritise them, and identify recurring patterns.
- Run performance tests, from backend load testing to frontend performance and Core Web Vitals.
- Test accessibility against WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549.
- Work with Product, Development and Support to improve quality practices and testing approaches.
- Derive relevant failure modes and test scenarios from features and requirements.
- Enable the entire product organisation to continuously improve quality.
What do you bring?
- Several years of experience in a QA role within a product team, preferably SaaS.
- Strong TypeScript/JavaScript experience.
- Experience with modern E2E testing frameworks such as Playwright or Cypress and API testing.
- Experience with CI/CD, such as Bitbucket Pipelines or GitLab CI.
- Experience managing test data and building reliable, reproducible tests.
- Strong stakeholder management and facilitation skills.
- AI fluency and the ability to apply LLM-based tools effectively, preferably also within the testing process itself.
Nice to have
Experience with performance tooling such as k6; security practices including the OWASP Top 10, dependency scanning and DAST; observability tooling such as Grafana and Prometheus; and modern web technologies such as NestJS, Vue and/or React.
Professional-level Dutch is a plus, although English is our working language.
Where can this role take you?
There is room to shape the role around your interests. You might move further into user-facing testing, or go deeper into security, performance or DevOps. At Plate, you’ll have the responsibility and freedom to shape our quality engineering practices and directly influence how we build our product.
Sounds like you?
We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just want to test what has been built, but wants to help us build better software. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet.
