What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior QA Automation / Data engineering role where I can architect reliable test and ETL pipelines, improve observability and release quality, and enable distributed Agile teams to ship mission-critical systems.

I’m a QA Automation Engineer and data-focused engineer with 12+ years bridging Software Engineering in Test and Data. I architect and implement robust automated testing for mission-critical RESTful services and satellite data APIs, prioritizing reliability, maintainability, and resilient frameworks.

In my current role at ICEYE (Warsaw, Poland – Remote), I build enterprise-grade automation with Python/Pytest and enforce dependable release workflows. I also develop internal tooling for test environment management and observability, and I optimize CI/CD on AWS using GitHub Actions to keep deployments stable and fast.

I extend that engineering mindset into data: I design Python ETL pipelines for extraction, aggregation, and delivery into analytics platforms using SQL, Snowflake, dbt, and Pandas. I champion CI/CD for data pipelines with GitHub Actions, containerized deployments with Docker, and end-to-end monitoring to protect data quality.

Alongside hands-on engineering, I lead through process as a Certified Scrum Master (PSMI, SAFe4). I facilitate Scrum ceremonies, coach teams on Agile practices, and support distributed delivery—aligning quality, engineering, and product outcomes from planning to release readiness.
