About Fundraise Up

We’re Fundraise Up - a global fundraising platform built to make donating to nonprofits fast, seamless, and accessible to all. Every month, our technology powers tens of millions of dollars in donations across the globe. We focus on innovation that directly impacts results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, global payment support, and accessibility-first design.

Our platform is trusted by many of the world’s leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer’s Association, and a wide range of global NGOs. With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we’re recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver.

A Truly Global Product

We operate in the enterprise segment, serving nonprofit organizations across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.

We’re building a large and complex product ecosystem that serves nonprofits, donors, and partners around the world. The platform includes a modern checkout experience and customizable widgets (each a standalone SPA), donor, organization, and partner portals, admin tools, and several internal apps.

Our backend is powered by Node.js (Koa, NestJS) and MongoDB. The frontend stack includes Webpack, Vue.js, and React, with nearly all code written in TypeScript. For high-throughput messaging and background processing, we use Kafka (for millions of events) and Bull (Redis). Analytics data is stored in ClickHouse, and we use Elasticsearch for search.

The Team

We are a distributed team of 120+ product professionals, including 35+ engineers. Our team members are mainly based across Spain, Poland, Portugal, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Turkey, and Cyprus. Many of our developers bring 5 - 10+ years of experience, and we foster a culture of deep technical curiosity and knowledge sharing.

Despite our scale, we operate like a focused team - where every task matters and every voice is heard. We value thoughtful collaboration, strong engineering practices, and a product mindset. Biweekly engineering forums give space to share learnings and celebrate technical achievements. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.

About the Role

As a Senior QA Engineer (Quality Enablement), you will work in a cross-team role focused on improving product quality through processes, practices, and engineering influence across the entire organization.

QAE does not write product tests for teams on a regular basis. Instead, the role focuses on:

• Preventing production incidents and reducing technical debt
• Contributing to test frameworks (helpers, utilities)

What You'll Do

• Help product teams define and improve testing strategies (unit / integration / E2E)
• Review test scenarios, automated tests, and quality-related technical decisions
• Analyze defects, flaky tests, and testing results
• Drive improvements based on quality metrics and recurring issues
• Support teams in building reliable and scalable test automation
• Contribute to test frameworks and shared tooling (helpers, utilities)
• Collaborate with engineers, product teams, and QA engineers
• Educate and mentor teams on testing practices and automation approaches
• Ensure test automation does not negatively impact CI performance

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in testing web client-server applications
• 3+ years of experience in test automation
• Hands-on experience writing automated tests (E2E / integration)
• Experience with JavaScript / TypeScript
• Understanding of frontend architecture (React)
• Understanding of backend architecture (Node.js / NestJS)
• Experience developing or maintaining test frameworks
• Strong understanding of testing levels (unit / integration / E2E)
• Experience writing test scenarios or defining test strategy
• Experience reviewing automated tests (code review)
• Experience with CI/CD (Jenkins or similar)
• Docker (images, networks, volumes, docker-compose)
• Ability to influence quality through processes, not only code
• Strong communication skills
• Ownership mindset and willingness to take responsibility for quality decisions

Nice to Have

• Experience introducing testing or automation processes in teams
• Experience working with quality metrics (flaky rate, coverage, CI performance)
• Experience analyzing defects and improving processes
• Experience conducting trainings, workshops, or mentoring
• Experience working across multiple product teams
• Experience building or evolving E2E frameworks
• Experience reducing flaky tests and optimizing CI
• Experience in platform or enablement teams
