Junior QA Engineer
Brussels | Hybrid
Build quality into complex financial implementations
At Craft it, we help financial institutions solve complex problems at the intersection of credit risk, regulation, data, and technology.
As a focused team, we work with large international financial institutions across Europe, the US, and beyond.
This means you will be exposed early to real client implementations — designing tests, automating them, and validating that the solutions used in complex financial environments actually work as expected.
Our work is hands-on and closely tied to delivery. Quality is not a separate phase — it is part of how we build, configure, and release.
We are looking for a Junior QA Engineer with strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn quickly in a structured and guided environment.
What you will do
You will contribute to project work while being closely supported by more experienced QA engineers and consultants. Your role is to learn fast, execute reliably, and take on more responsibility over time.
You will be involved in:
* designing, writing, and maintaining test cases (manual and automated)
* contributing to our test automation framework (Playwright with TypeScript)
* preparing and executingsmoke tests, regression runs, and validationcycles
* supporting UAT activities with clients and internal teams
* creating clear, reproducible bug reports and tracking them to resolution
* preparing and validatingtest data, includingdirect database checks
* documenting test results,defects, and follow-ups
* contributing to release validation and delivery quality
You will also build working knowledgein:
* banking and financialservices
* credit risk and regulatory frameworks(Basel, IFRS 9)
* testing strategies for enterprise software(functional, regression, integration)
* modern test automationpatterns and tooling
What we are looking for
You are a strong fit if you:
* have 0–3 years of experience (internships included)
* are detail-oriented, rigorous,and methodical
* are comfortable with structured problem-solving
* communicate clearly and professionally — including when reporting defects
* are reliable and take ownershipof your work
* are fluent in English (French is a strong asset)
This role sits at the intersection of testing, automation, and product understanding. You should be comfortable — or willing to quickly become comfortable — with:
* writing test cases and applyingcore testing concepts(functional, regression, UAT)
* basic JavaScript or TypeScript (or strong willingness to learn — our automation stack is Playwright + TypeScript)
* working with structured data formats (e.g. JSON, XML)
* delivery tools such as Azure DevOps or JIRA
* version control basics (Git)
* Thinking out-of-the-box for solutions and quick wins
You should enjoy hands-on work with systems, data, and automation — this is a core part of the role.
Your first months
Here is what your first months will look like:
* month 1: onboarding to our tools, methods, automation framework, and project context; shadowing test execution and reading existing test suites
* months 2-3 : writing manual test cases, executing regression cycles, contributing your first automated tests under review
* after 3-6 months: owning defined test scopes, contributing to framework improvements, and supporting client validation activities more directly
You will be supportedby a dedicated mentor and regular feedback.
