QA Engineer with Leadership Focus (Mid/Senior)

A quick note about the role: Since 2026, Xplicity has been part of the Present Connection group, bringing our teams and technology communities closer together and creating more opportunities for talented professionals across both companies. Although this opportunity is shared through the Xplicity community, the position is with Present Connection, and the successful candidate will join the Present Connection team.

Present Connection is an international technology partner with offices in Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Spain. For more than 14 years, we have worked with companies across Europe, combining software engineering expertise with a strong understanding of business and technology. We bring together experienced technology specialists with a drive to experiment, explore new possibilities, and find better ways forward. We believe technology is more than something businesses use. It can change how they work, grow, and compete. That's why we work alongside our clients to challenge existing ways of working and build solutions that move their business forward.

The Opportunity

We're kicking off a new chapter in our quality assurance journey and are looking for a QA Engineer who wants to grow into a leading role in our QA practice. This is a hands-on role with a leadership side: you'll work as a QA engineer in your own project, and at the same time help shape and elevate the QA discipline across the company. You will work closely with our existing QA professionals, who are part of different client teams, and support their technical growth, alignment, and collaboration.

Why this role matters: While each of our QA engineers works in a unique context, we believe it's time to connect the dots and build a cohesive, forward-thinking QA community within Present Connection. You'll be the spark that helps start that movement, combining hands-on technical expertise with the ability to bring people together.
