Work at Nekst IT

Senior QA Test Automation Consultant

Ready to grow further and bring others along with you?

At Nekst IT, we’re always looking for skilled professionals with a smile. People who breathe quality, enjoy what they do, and believe that growth is something you create together. Not because you have to, but because you can… and because it’s fun.

What you’ll do

As a Senior QA Test Automation Consultant, you help build test automation solutions that truly make an impact. You elevate quality with robust frameworks (Playwright or Robot Framework), smart CI/CD integrations, and a healthy dose of insight and creativity. You don’t just help teams test better, you teach them to see, understand, and embed quality.

In practice, this means:

• Advising on and implementing the right test automation strategy for our clients.
• Building, improving, and maintaining frameworks (Playwright or Robot Framework).
• Analyzing QA processes and driving targeted improvements.
• Coaching client teams so they can continue independently.
• Acting as a technical expert in test automation and CI/CD integration (Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
• Collaborating with developers, product owners, and management on strategy, progress, and risks.

Who you are

You know your strengths  and you enjoy using them. You love technology just as much as you love working with people. New team, new client? You walk in with confidence.

You think ahead, build sustainably, and leave behind quality that is up-to-date, maintainable, and rock solid. Even when you’re already on your way to your next challenge. And of course, you share your knowledge, insights, and a good dose of humor with your colleagues.

You bring:

• At least 5 years of experience as a QA Automation Engineer.
• A consultancy mindset: flexible, communicative, and sharp.
• Deep knowledge of Playwright or Robot Framework.
• Programming skills in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Strong command of Dutch and/or English.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with performance or security testing.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Experience leading or setting up QA teams or tribes.
