Quality Assurance Engineer

Welcome to New Black - we’re looking for a QA Engineer ready to level up our testing strategy. As a QA Engineer, you play a key role in ensuring our products, applications, and systems perform flawlessly. But more than that: you help us scale quality through automation, and bring AI-assisted testing into the everyday fabric of our development lifecycle.

About New Black

We are just a bunch of NERDS, transforming the world of (e)commerce with our truly unique Contextual Commerce platform, called EVA. Our purpose is to help globally operating brands and retailers to become adaptive to change. EVA is the engine that powers digital retail solutions, a secure, cloud-based platform that is setup to improve the consumer experience.

We work for leading brands and retailers such as Dyson, Rituals, Intersport, AFC Ajax, G-Star, Kiko Milano, and others.

Our philosophy

New Black, is a company like no other. That is a promise. We believe that work is about more than getting paid for your effort. We have implemented holacracy in our company and we cut the crap so you don't have to report to a manager. We align with each other, but we don't report in one direction. It helps us to be faster and more adaptive to change. But we don’t take it easy. We work hard and the next thing’s always lined up; we don’t take our success for granted.

New Black is more than a software company; we are a next-generation platform transforming the world of (e)commerce, a company full of passionate people who love what we do and how we do it.

New Black is very ambitious; we are profitable and fully bootstrapped (no investors, no debts). This is incredibly important in providing us the freedom to shape our company the way we see fit.

New Black wholly owns its intellectual property; this allows us to make our own decisions about our products and provides us with the freedom to create the best product with the latest technology.

New Black has entered selective strategic partnerships with best-in-class global brands like Apple, Microsoft, Adyen, Deloitte to create an ecosystem for global expansion and sustainable success.

About your role

As a QA Engineer, you are part of the team that guards the quality of our EVA Contextual Commerce Platform. You design and run automated tests that prevent bugs before they happen, and you help us shift quality left - integrating testing earlier in the dev cycle.

You're not just executing test cases - you're helping to define how we test smarter, working alongside developers, Product Owners, and infrastructure teams. From frontend to backend, from regression to exploratory testing, your insights and automation mindset help EVA stay rock-solid.

As a QA Engineer, you:

• Review and analyze system specs to define test strategies.
• Build, maintain, and execute automated test cases, especially for APIs, performance, regression and IOS testing.
• Use tools (and AI assistants) to generate test cases, detect anomalies, and speed up QA workflows.
• Investigate bugs and document testing phases clearly, using logs and reports to support fast debugging.
• Collaborate with developers and Product Owners to ensure quality is built in from the start.
• Ensure post-deploy and post-implementation testing is automated and reliable.
• Stay curious and explore how AI and test automation can improve our QA process and scale our capabilities.
