We are looking for a practical QA Engineer to join our team and help us maintain the quality of our user interfaces and business workflows. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys manual testing, understands how software is used in the real world, and wants to work closely with developers. You will act as a business stakeholder within the engineering team, focusing on how our products look, feel, and function for the end user.

Why join us?

You will be working in a highly collaborative environment where manual testing is valued as a core part of the product development lifecycle. We offer a space where you can focus on the user experience and business logic without being pressured to become an automation engineer.

Key Responsibilities

Collaboration and Pairing

• You will work directly in pairs with our developers on a daily basis.
• Instead of waiting for a feature to be finished to test it, you will collaborate from the very beginning to help the developer move fast and avoid mistakes early on.

Business Logic and UI Testing

• You will map out user journeys and test standard business processes.
• You will check our UI for inconsistencies and make sure the workflows make sense.
• You will be looking for logical loopholes and edge cases that automated scripts usually miss.

Quality Ownership

• You will be in charge of the quality for the features you work on.
• You will advocate for the user and the business, communicating clearly with developers and product managers if something needs more work before it goes live.

Requirements:
Must have:

• Professional experience as a manual QA engineer or software tester.
• Hands-on experience testing web applications and standard business logic.
• A good eye for user interface details and user experience flows.
• Solid communication skills to work closely in pairs with developers and discuss product requirements.
• Comfort speaking up and advocating for the user when a feature does not work as intended.

Nice to have

• Experience working in a paired programming or paired testing environment.
• Familiarity with basic web technologies to help you communicate better with developers.
• Background in web hosting, Linux, or infrastructure products.

Benefits:
What's in it for you?

• A focus on professional development.
• Interesting and challenging projects.
• Fully remote work with flexible working hours, that allows you to schedule your day and work from any location worldwide.
• Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves.
• Compensation for private medical insurance.
• Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement.
• Budget for education.
• The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent.
