Manual QA Engineer

We're looking for a Manual QA Engineer who goes beyond checking boxes - someone who thinks critically, sees the bigger picture and proactively contributes to improving product quality.

We work on projects where quality is a necessity not a formality. That’s why we value people who are not only detail-oriented but also system thinkers - capable of working independently, taking ownership and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.

• Analyze product requirements and specifications to ensure a thorough understanding of the testing needs.
• Create and maintain comprehensive test documentation, including test cases, checklists, and test suites.
• Perform manual functional, exploratory, and regression testing across multiple platforms (Frontend, Backend, Mobile).
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, to clarify requirements, report bugs, and verify fixes.
• Identify potential quality risks and take a proactive approach to raising and tracking issues throughout the development cycle.
• Ensure testing is thorough, consistent, and traceable by maintaining detailed test logs and bug reports.
• Participate in sprint planning, grooming and retrospectives to provide input on testability and quality improvements.
• Conduct smoke and sanity checks post-deployment to verify successful product releases.
• Assist in improving QA processes and promoting quality standards across the development lifecycle.

• Proficiency in English - Upper-Intermediate level or higher (spoken and written).
• Solid understanding of software QA methodologies, tools and processes, including test planning, test execution and bug tracking.
• Strong theoretical foundation and best practices in software testing and quality assurance.
• Good knowledge of client-server architecture and experience with API testing techniques.
• Hands-on experience working with bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail, Zephyr).
• Experience testing iOS and/or Android applications.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented, agile environment and independently when needed.

Nice to have:

• At least 2 years of hands-on experience in a QA role.
• Familiarity with testing applications across different browsers and platforms.
• Working knowledge of databases such as MySQL, MSSQL, or MongoDB - ability to query data for testing purposes.
• Practical experience using tools such as Postman, Swagger for API validation.
• Familiarity with tools like Fiddler or Charles for inspecting traffic and debugging client-server communication.
• Understanding of software development concepts, version control systems (e.g., Git), and CI/CD basics.

• Opportunity to work on challenging and meaningful projects.
• Professional and friendly environment with space for growth and ownership.
• Opportunity to influence technical decisions.
• Flexible hours and remote-first work format.
