QA Engineer - Full time

We’re Kanopi. Welcome.

Kanopi is a data-driven insurtech that pushes the boundaries of how insurance is delivered. Some of the world’s largest insurers come to us for reliable, flexible technology to create cover that protects and adapts to customers’ changing needs.

The role

As a QA Engineer, you are responsible for driving quality across Kanopi’s platform. You will design and maintain automated testing frameworks, improve CI/CD systems and work with the engineering team to ensure every release is reliable, scalable and secure.

You’ll collaborate closely with software engineers and product managers to identify risks early, define test strategies and ensure new features are built with quality in mind from the start. You’ll also play a key role in shaping how we test, release and monitor our software, helping to strengthen our overall engineering practices and delivery processes.

What you get to do every day

Test automation & quality

• Design, build and maintain automated tests across unit, integration and end-to-end layers

• Ensure testability and reliability are built into features from the start

Delivery & CI/CD

• Improve and maintain CI/CD pipelines to increase build reliability and streamline releases

• Diagnose, reproduce and track defects in collaboration with engineers

Collaboration & improvement

• Support engineers to write maintainable, effective automated tests

• Contribute to engineering best practices, quality metrics and continuous improvement

What you will bring to the role

• Experience

  • 4+ years in software engineering or QA automation

  • Proven experience designing and implementing automated test frameworks

  • Hands-on experience improving CI/CD pipelines in agile, cross-functional teams

  • Experience working in a startup or fast-moving digital environment

• Skills

  • Strong automated testing skills (unit, integration and end-to-end)

  • Experience with modern testing frameworks (e.g. Playwright, Cypress, Pytest)

  • Working knowledge of CI/CD, cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and DevOps tooling

  • Familiarity with TypeScript, Node.js and Python-based backends and React frontends

• Knowledge

  • Deep understanding of testing methodologies and automation best practices

  • Solid grasp of modern software delivery, reliability and performance principles

  • Awareness of software security and data protection fundamentals

• Attitude

  • Sees QA as an engineering discipline, not a gate at the end

  • Pragmatic, thoughtful and focused on improving systems and workflows

  • Takes ownership of quality and enjoys collaborating and sharing knowledge

  • Passionate about automation, CI/CD and continual improvement

  • A mindset aligned with our Kanopi values: Human, Dependable, Intentional, Driven, and Impactful.

Everyone's opinion is welcome, and we're firm believers in discussions and radical candor.

• Equity package as a valued member of the company.

• We trust our people. This means we focus on outcomes and provide a truly flexible workplace.
