What is Bitrefill?

Bitrefill lets people spend crypto on real stuff: gift cards, mobile top-ups, subscriptions, bill payments. 180+ countries. Profitable since launch. Over 12 years in and still building.

The team is about 90 people, fully distributed. You'd be joining QA, which is small, hands-on, and in the middle of building out test automation infrastructure. Few meetings. Lots of autonomy.

The job

Our QA team is shifting from manual testing toward automated, AI-augmented workflows. The infrastructure is already in place: E2E web testing frameworks, a mobile test automation tool, an internal MCP orchestration layer, and a test management platform integrated via API. The tooling exists. What's missing is someone dedicated to writing, maintaining, and scaling the automated test suites that sit on top of it.

Right now, test automation competes with QA planning, manual execution, and tooling development. We need someone who can own regression coverage, shrink manual test cycles, and free up the rest of the QA team to focus on strategy, exploratory testing, and pushing our AI-driven QA work forward. We're hiring an SDET: a QA engineer who is also a real developer.

This is a mid-level role, but it's central to how QA works at Bitrefill going forward. Early months will be heavier on building. That shifts toward maintenance as things stabilize. The role will evolve as the team and tooling mature. That might mean picking up dev work beyond QA, depending on where the needs are.

What you'll do

• Author and maintain E2E automated tests with Playwright and Maestro.
• Build out regression, smoke, and sanity suites for critical flows: checkout, payments, gift card redemption, account management
• Integrate automated test execution into CI/CD so tests run on every deployment to staging
• Work with our internal tooling (MCP server) to support API-driven test case management in Qase
