What’s the position?

We're looking for a Senior Salesforce Test Automation Engineer to own quality engineering across our Salesforce platform. This is a hands-on technical role — you'll design and build the automation frameworks our team relies on, partner closely with developers from the earliest stages of delivery, and set the quality bar for a platform that powers customer-facing operations across iGaming markets in North America and beyond.

You'll work within an Agile, Kanban-driven team and operate across Salesforce Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Data Cloud, Agentforce, and a rich ecosystem of third-party integrations including Snowflake, Confluent Kafka, and identity/payments vendors. This isn't a seat-warmer QA role — we want someone who thinks in systems, writes production-quality automation code, and treats testability as a first-class engineering concern.

What You’ll Do:

• Own test automation strategy and execution across Salesforce environments — Classic, Lightning, and complex third-party integrations — selecting and evolving the right tools and frameworks for our stack.

• Design and build automated test suites using tools such as Playwright, Copado Robot Testing, simple-salesforce, Behave, or similar frameworks, and integrate them into our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / ArgoCD).

• Lead regression, smoke, functional, UAT, integration, and performance testing for Salesforce customizations including Apex, Visualforce, Lightning Web Components, and Flow automation.

• Shift left on quality — engage with requirements and design sessions early, challenge assumptions, and flag risks before they reach development.

• Champion testability in code reviews, providing structured feedback on Apex, LWC, and integration code with quality and coverage in mind.

• Validate data integrity across the platform, including Salesforce records, reports, dashboards, Data Cloud pipelines, and inbound/outbound integration payloads.

• Log, triage, and track defects end-to-end in Jira, maintaining clear reproduction steps and working collaboratively with developers through resolution.

• Define and maintain test documentation standards — test plans, test cases, automation scripts, coverage matrices, and results reports.

• Mentor and guide junior QA contributors and developers on automation best practices, test design patterns, and quality-first thinking.

• Stay current with Salesforce releases (3x per year), evaluate new features and deprecations for test impact, and recommend improvements proactively.

What You Can Expect:

You’ll be joining a lean, technically sharp team that takes its craft seriously. We’re building infrastructure that directly impacts customers in real regulated markets, so the work matters — and so does how it’s done. We move fast but we’re deliberate, and quality engineering is treated as a genuine competitive advantage here, not an afterthought.

What are we looking for?

• 5+ years of QA/test engineering experience, with a significant portion focused on Salesforce platforms in production environments.

• Deep Salesforce platform knowledge — hands-on experience testing Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, Apex triggers and classes, Visualforce pages, Lightning Web Components, Flows, and platform events.

• Strong automation engineering skills — you write clean, maintainable test code. Proficiency in Python is expected; experience with Playwright, Copado Robot Testing, or comparable Salesforce-aware frameworks is a strong plus.

• CI/CD fluency — comfortable integrating automated tests into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or ArgoCD-based pipelines, and iterating on pipeline configuration.

• Integration testing experience — ability to design and execute tests across REST/SOAP APIs, event-driven architectures (Kafka/Confluent), and data pipelines (Snowflake or similar warehouses).

• Jira proficiency — experience in defect lifecycle management, sprint hygiene, and working within structured Agile/Kanban workflows.

• Strong analytical instincts and the ability to translate ambiguous requirements into rigorous, actionable test strategies.

• Clear, direct communication skills — you can articulate risk, coverage gaps, and quality decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaborative by nature — comfortable working across development, product, and platform teams, and willing to push back constructively when quality is at risk.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in regulated iGaming, fintech, or similarly compliance-sensitive environments (AGCO/iGO, AML/KYC workflows, or similar).

• Familiarity with Salesforce Data Cloud, Agentforce, or Einstein features and their testing considerations.

• Exposure to sensitive data handling, masking, or PII/PCI compliance testing in Salesforce contexts.

• Salesforce certification (e.g., Salesforce Administrator, Platform Developer I, or equivalent) is a plus but not required.

• Experience with Gearset or other Salesforce DevOps tooling.

What’s in it for you?

We offer our employees more than just competitive compensation. Our team benefits include: 

• Competitive pay and benefits

• Flexible vacation allowance

• A hybrid / remote working environment 

• Startup culture backed by a secure, global brand
