Senior QA Automation Engineer

Kleos is a global teams management platform. We handle contractor and employee payroll across 242 locations — compliant contracts, IP assignment, KYC/KYB verification, multi-currency transactions, and one clean B2B invoice. 600+ companies use us to make payroll disappear. We've paid out $60M+ without missing a single payday.

We're ISO/IEC 27001 and GDPR certified. The product is real, the complexity is real, and the quality bar has to match.

The problem you'll solve

Testing at Kleos is real but has room to grow. You'll own QA automation end-to-end — designing the strategy, building coverage where it matters most, and keeping it working as we ship fast.

What you'll do

• Design and build automated test suites across the stack: API, E2E, integration

• Expand Playwright coverage for the Vue 3 frontend — auth flows, payout cycles, contractor onboarding, withdraw requests, document generation

• Write API tests covering JWT auth, multi-currency transactions, and financial state flows

• Work with Vitest + Vue Test Utils for component-level tests

• Do manual testing when it matters — exploratory testing on complex financial flows, edge cases, regression before major releases

• Own CI/CD test integration and keep pipelines green and fast

• Work directly with engineers to define testable requirements before code is written

• Catch quality risks before they reach 600+ paying teams
